Caleb Art 2019-January 2020

We finally got around to scanning the prolific amount of art Caleb has been creating in Kindergarten. Here we go, with all commentary from the artist himself:
That's me picking apples from the apple tree and I'm seeing how it's a wonderful day outside.

So that's a part of all my body parts and I did it at school.

That's me and I'm saying "I go to my house." I'm saying that because I'm right by my house.

That's a bat. And it's saying "Look I see a bat."

That's a kind of spacestation I made up.

That's a picture of my house and I was trying to write stars.

I was writing an apple. How I was writing it: first I wanted it to be an apple slice but then I changed my mind and then I made it a whole apple. That's why the lines are there.

I made a picture of the sun rising.

So I made this at art at my school. It's all different designs.

That's a picture of a jack-o-lantern at Halloween. That's a car that's giving everyone candy.

That's a design (on the left) and that's a museum (on the right).

That's a picture of an astronaut in a pumpkin suit on the moon. Me in the pumpkin suit.

That's a picture of the building and it's by lots of flowers. The people in the building planted the flowers.

That's a picture of something. So it's on the wheel so it's hard to move so that's why the wheel is on there. It's hard to move so now it's easy. 

That's a picture of another museum and my house is right by the museum and there's a path from my house to the museum.

That's a picture of the American Flag and I bet you know what this word called a maze is. It's around the American flag.


That's just a picture of the space station.

That's a picture of a glove and a big house. 

That's a picture of a pizza. A pepperoni pizza.

That's a picture of a deck in Texas.

That's a picture of another little land maze. A different kind of maze.

That's a picture of a building with hearts on the gate because everyone loves the building.

That's a picture of someone punching someone and the person that's getting punched doesn't like it.

That's a picture of me robot dancing. It says Mom on it because it's for Mama.

That's a picture of me and my mom holding hands because we love eachother and I they are bears and I got those green bears from my school because there's a naughty and nice color and there's two bears for each behaveness. Green and purple is the good sign and red and yellow is the bad sign.

That's a picture of a little game from Toy Story (my addition: I'm pretty impressed he copied that alien so well all by himself!)

That's a picture of a mat that holds snack. It's from my preschool when I was little. Every time I had snack at my school, I used it. When I was done with preschool, I brung it home. 

That's a picture of collage of a baby eating cookies and popcorn by Devil's Tower.

That's a picture of a Christmas tree and there's a picture of me opening presents under the Christmas. I posted my name there. I just wanted to draw a giant star on the Christmas tree. I don't know why.

That's a picture of a monster with his hair on fire.

That's a picture of me and my mom talking to each other. "I love you." "I like it when you say that." I can't really remember what they say but I remember the pictures. I don't know what those question bubbles say.

That's a picture of me flying off to the moon in a spaceship at space.

That's a picture of me sailing on a boat with the American flag in the sea and there's a big wave coming near by the ship. 

That's a picture of a rocket ship flying by the moon. That's just a silly moon.

That's a picture of my house. It says my name on the top. The chimney is holding my name.

That's a picture of a cat in nighttime by all the trees. The grass is kinda cool because it has all the flowers and stuff and I made this at art at my school.

The green isn't the sky! It's upside down! That's a picture of a drone and it's flying in the water because it fell down from the sky.

That's a picture of a police car and the siren's on which means it's going to something. It needs to go there fast. That's why the siren is on.

That's a picture of a little design. I was gonna make it for a present but then I was gonna make it for art.

That's a picture of three people. That's a picture of me, my mom and my dad. I put all my names on the top. I forgot Daddy.

That's a picture of me out in the sun at summer.


That's a picture of a ladybug crawling on the floor.

That's a picture of a turkey disguised as an apple tree. It sort of looks like a cherry tree but I did my best. He's disguised because he doesn't want to be eaten.

July

The activity day girls hiked flat top and Tom went as a chaperone and took these pictures. Celia still talks about that hike. She loved it so much.



Also in July, the Blue Angels came to town for the airshow. Instead of going out to base to watch the whole show, we went to the roof of a parking garage downtown to watch them fly over. It was the perfect compromise. Not to long. Not too loud. And no crowds at all.


Then it was dipnetting time. My favorite time of year! We arrived on a Wednesday evening and Tom got right in the water. He only caught 4, but they were gigantic. Each morning you can legally start fishing at 6am. I heard people talking about how they were catching, so I nudged Tom and we headed to the water. Tom caught 23 that morning in 2 hours! We filled up our coolers with gigantic fish and had to stop (even though the fish were still coming!). Our total for the year was 27 making 87 pouds of edible meat. The smallest fillet was 12oz and the biggest was 40oz (the biggest on record for us!). 

We all had an absolute blast. Celia proved she was a true Alaskan by being able to correctly identify the sex of all 27 salmon correctly. Sabrina proved her Alaskan roots by participating in the tradition of throwing the salmon eggs up into the air to watch the seagulls dive-bomb to grab them. 








This was also the first year that we had a real amount of raspberries. They're successfully taking over the garden. Last year we just got a handful, this year we got to enjoy eating them every time we played outside. The girls invented "summer sushi" where they wrap a raspberry in kale or lettuce or spinach.
