Building Willy Wonka

Momma has taken over as the Set Designer for the school plays which has proven to be a very time intensive job. The spring musical, Willy Wonka, involves a ton of set changes and complicated interactions. Todd got called in for some motion graphics. The whole thing is quite the production.

We build in an airplane hangar in the middle of nowhere.

Neighborhood Egg Hunt

It's that time of again for the pre-Easter egg hunt at our local park. This year, Maya and some of her neighborhood friends came early and helped hide eggs since they are too old to hunt this year. Dexter got to go to the older kid hunt this year. The kids are getting bigger.

The Usual

Here's some of what happens around here...

 Dexter is the next Fonzie.

Like father, like son.

Maya works on her political humor creating a faux Trump tweet even adding a purposely misspelled word. 

Now a political cartoon.

This looks serious.

 Experimenting with a projector that we are planning to use for the next school play. Basketball in the kitchen anyone?
