after lots of traveling, we’re back home for the last month of summer before school starts. it’s hot as hell, and MonkeyBeef is newly potty trained (like a boss!), so we’re not getting out much. which suits the twits just fine; SpazMonkey and DramaQueen have a long list of “projects” they want to complete before they go back to school. like making their own paper. and building halo terrain out of cardboard. and making sushi-shaped erasers.
one of their projects resulted in me being awakened by a scream of “OHMYGAWD WE MADE CARBON MONOXIDE, RUN, MOM, RUN!” as i stumbled down the stairs, EvilGremlin was patiently erasing and re-balancing the stochiometry equation on the kitchen table to show SpazMonkey that they had, in fact, STILL made carbon dioxide and diatomic oxygen, not carbon monoxide and ozone, despite the battery which they had wired into the beaker, apparently because they had convinced themselves that the electicity would force the creation of ozone.
one of their biggest projects was to create a floor-sized boardgame. it involves 12″-square foam puzzle floor tiles, pokemon figurines, dice, toy food, homemade cards, a nerf basketball hoop, and not being able to walk in their fucking bedroom. for a change.
here are two of the tile-markers attached to the foam tiles:
i probably don’t even need to tell you that i didn’t bother to ask what the rules are.
