DRAWINGS FOR SCHOOL & NOT SCHOOL

I get to do a lot of drawings at school. Ms. Murphy is really good at doing drawing tutorials. Here is my drawing of a healthcare hero. I named her Dr. Julianna.

This is how I imagine my “Magical Yet.” She’s kind of like a fairy who helps me eventually do things that I don’t know how to do…yet.

We often watch videos from a website called Scratch Garden. They are so funny and I love them. One of the characters is a beaker that Ms. Murphy taught us how to draw. I also gave him a beaker friend.

This is what a Cat Ball field looks like. Your goal is to get the ball past the Finley Line.

P=Pitcher. A=Against Maker. L & R = Left and Right. Y=Yowler.

My favorite YouTuber is Anna Akana. She is famous for making the music video, “I Have 6 Cats.”

Speaking of 6 cats…

THINGS I SAY #83

Mommy and I were making chocolate bread in the bread machine, and during the kneading process, we added chocolate chips. So we ended up with a little dough ball with chocolate chips stuck all around it.

Me: Aww, it looks like a little coronavirus bread!

SICK FINLEY

Finley started feeling really bad and it turned out he had urinary crystals that nearly blocked his urethra. So he had to spend a lot of time at the vet getting fluids and having tests done. Good thing the vet techs there are so nice! Brenda gave him lots of cuddles and sent us a picture.

Now he’s healthy again and enjoying his favorite spot – the window perch. He even found a bug on the other side of the window that he was very interested in.

Sunnie missed her brother and was happy to have him back.

I missed him, too! I’m glad he’s feeling well again.

ELECTION DAY(S)

On the afternoon of Election Day, I was glued to the computer looking at the Electoral College map. It was less an interest in politics, and more an interest in anything involving maps! I made a special announcement every time Biden or Trump won another state.

And then the whole next day…I basically just stared at the map some more.

HALLOWEEN 2020

We celebrated a socially distanced Halloween this year!

First, we carved pumpkins and Sunnie was very curious about this ritual.

We also made a sign for our candy table.

I dressed up as an orange tabby, like Sunnie! Meow!

We didn’t knock on doors this year, but our town did a lot of candy tables, bowls, and chutes.

How awesome is this black cat pumpkin someone painted?

Despite the unusual Halloween, I still brought in a big candy haul! My favorites were Sour Patch Kids and Kit Kats.

A BUNCH OF ARTWORK

As usual, I’ve been doing tons of drawings, both at school and at home. Here are some of them!

For school, I drew a picture of something I did over the summer.

I also drew about something you could do to go from being a “Bad Seed” to a “Good Egg.”

This is a drawing about how we learn by making mistakes.

This is a drawing of me imagining if six cats could drive.

I followed a drawing tutorial at school to draw a happy ice cream cone.

And I did another drawing tutorial to draw a bat.

At home, I love to draw roller coasters like Kingda Ka! This is one where Kingda Ka rolled back.

Here are a bunch of people about to ride Kingda Ka.

Here are some of the rivers you cross to drive from Portland to Seattle.

Here is the Queensboro Bridge and a New York City skyscraper.

I love to draw cats and this is an orange tabby, like Sunnie!

Finally, here is a cat in a crate going on a car ride.
