Note from alycewilson: Today's entry for Last Chance Idol is based on the topic "We're all in the gutter." I suspect it's influenced by all the construction that's been going on around our neighborhood, as the water company is systematically replacing all the water pipes.

Using photos and video I'd taken of the build, I then created a video which is also our entry in a LEGO Duplo contest. Top vote getters for the ( Read more... )

Note from alycewilson: After hearing his favorite author, Judy Schachner of the "Skippyjon Jones" series, read at our local library, KFP wanted to write a book about our cat, Luke. He came up with the title "Luke and the Scary Dogs," and the first version was dictated from the back of the car while I drove. He told a story about our cat being chased by dogs ( Read more... )

A note from alycewilson: While KFP took his evening bath, I sat in the room with my laptop. I asked him to write a story about what he thought of when he heard the words "The Missing Stair." This is what he answered.You'll fall and hurt yourself. And Daddy will catch you. Go to the next page. Go quack. I just heard a big wave. It just tumbled the whole story ( Read more... )
