Remember DramaQueen's art project “Bobert” she made back in March?  MonkeyBoy also made one during his 1st quarter art class.  It’s a sumo wrestler/striped/reminds-me-of-a-penguin/sculpture.  The weird thing?  MB named him “Bob” – When I mentioned DQ’s was named “Bobert”, he said he didn’t know that she had named hers that.  He just liked the name.  I’m not sure if I believe him or if he did that just to irritate his sister.  With MB you never know.

”Bobert is my awesome art project I made in 2nd quarter. He was so good my art teacher kept him in the display case all 3rd quarter. I loved Art. Now I’m in Music. Yaya.” – DramaQueen

(Note:  I received an emergency text from DQ as she was on the afternoon bus, that I needed to go to the junior high school and pick up her art project – Any 2nd quarter art project needed to be picked up to make room for those made during the 3rd quarter.  If the projects were not retrieved by Friday afternoon, they would be thrown out.  Being the wonderful mother that I am, I complied with her request.)
