Vehicles

Today I just thought I would post some pictures of the vehicles that I had made.

Beer (above) is a spaceship I made a very long time ago at an art from scrap workshop. He is the first one I made.

Vroomy (Above) is a spaceship and I made him at a art from scrap workshop. He is the second vehicle I made.
This is Tanky Green, the third one I made, also at the art from scrap workshop. I made it out of a strawberry container, toilet paper tubes, and caps for small containers. I covered it in green tape to make it look more camouflaged.
This is Freighty, a spaceship I made at the art from scrap workshop right after Tanky Green. I don't know why I decided to make this one a freighter, maybe it was so that I could make him carry Tanky Green.
Next I made Tanky Red, the one you see here. I made him at the rental house that we had while we were evacuated from the fire. At that time the only materials I had were paper, pipe cleaners, and dental floss. Later I got some red tape and improved him and gave him his new name.
This is trucky, a jet-truck I made recently.
This is a flying saucer that I just finished and I am going to use for one of the vehicles in my craft economy of Andyroom.
It has a little window underneath it that you can see out of. The video below is taken by someone who was inside the flying saucer and looking out the window.

Crafts

Great honkin' moons of Jupeter, I haven't made a blog entry for such a long time I feel guilty. Anyway, I better start this one now without further apology so that I don't run out of time. Ruth and I have been making LOTS of crafts, sewing and stuffing people, building them houses, and constructing vehicles. I like making the houses and vehicles a lot more than I like sewing the people, so Ruthroom had a much bigger population than Andyroom. Oh, speaking of which, we're doing this "competing economies" thing where Ruth and I sort-of race to see which economy is the best. Don't worry, we're going about it with friendly intentions, but we do plan to have a Cold War somtime. Even though Ruth's population is larger than mine, I pride myself in vehicles and structures. I've got plenty of plans for houses, and I've started on a really great 2-story house, ith sort of a large attic. I'm almost done with my flying saucer, and I have started bulding this really cool transforming spaceship. I also am planning on modifying my paper vehicles so that they are useable. If you haven't read about my papr vehicles, click here or here or here.

Creamy Pasta

After I finished the previous post, I determinedly went about my quest to see dad put the cream into the Creamy Pasta, and dad thought I was acting strangely because he thought it was silly to be interested in seeing something that wasn't really worth seeing. But I accomplished my goal and satisfied my yearning even though is wasn't very interesting.

Interview with Ruth

O.K., today I think I will do an interview with Ruth. Here goes:

Andy: Hi Ruth

Ruth (hyper): HII, Wuzzup!

(Andy typing, Ruth looks over Andy's sholders and breaks out into a fit of giggles)

Dad (annoyed): OK that's enough, you guys don't have to be doing that.

Ruth (hurriedly):OK, sorry, I'll leave the room.

Well, that didn't get very far, and now Ruth is setting the table and Dad is finishing up on the Creamy Pasta. (YUM!!!!!!!!) He makes the cream separately, but the finished product is always in the pot when served, so I'm going to go hang around until I see him do it.

Winter Camp

I am going to write in short sentences. I hope I'm not going crazy. The food was pretty yummy. We played football. (I'm not going to write in short sentences any more.) After a little bit, a bunch of girls joined then other team and started swarming around us like a pack of bees and tackling the tough-ish boys. It was really funny, and we started calling them the Girl Squad. There was a HUGE zip line, with a rickety spiral staircase going up to a big wooden platform. the zip line had four "lines", so four kids went on it at once. It was very scary until I left the platform, after that it was SUPER fun. We also watched a funny skit called Johnny Light Bulb that the camp leaders had made. Johnny Light Bulb was this guy with a big light bulb hat on his head that had to decide if he liked meat lovers or cheese better. On the last night we played a game where we had to collect "light filaments" to help Johnny Light Bulb survive his "little fall" he had after he resolved the war between meet lovers and cheese. It was really fun, we had to get the light filaments from the camp leaders and avoid the evil light robbers that looked a lot like our counselors from church. I had a great time at camp, and I could keep writing for a lot longer, but don't you think that I've said enough?

Winter Camp Introduction

OK, less description now, or I'll never get through the post. I slept in a cabin with bunk beds lining the walls, and the other kids that were in the same room with me were named Peter, a very smart kid who was friends with Noah, also in our cabin. Noah is very funny, and his "little line" that he used all the time was "NooOoO!!!". It was funny, because he said it in sort of the voice that you would use for saying "noooo.. really??" and also "noooo, duh!", but he mainly just used it for any time he wanted to give a negative response. The rest of the kids in my cabin were David, Owen, Drew, and somebody else, I don't remember his name. our counselors were named John and Anthony.
