Anachron Lived On A Far Away Planet. That Planet, Its Life Forms, They Call It Janet.

Anachron lived on a far away planet. That planet, its life forms, they call it Janet.

Janet the planet is terribly gusty. Half of it's musty, the other half dusty.

Sand storms, dust storms and mud storms oh my! Sounds like a place you'd visit then die.

So it's no wonder then, that Anachron flew on a spaceship away from that place with no blue.

To our world, a place that is luscious and green, with waters the bluest that it’s ever seen.

For all lakes on Janet are yellowy-orangish, and redishy-brownish and greyishy boron-rich.

And the forests are all gone on Janet, it's quite sad. We know just what went wrong: life, it's quite bad.

So Anachron came and it wanted to stay... and we gave it a spot just outside of Palm Bay.

I’m a co-parent so only had part of the day with my son for Halloween, but we made the best of it with a fun spooky scavenger hunt! The gummy worms are all gone now nom nom nom

Holding hands at sunset

Another one of my crude felt drawings using up my son’s old art supplies. This time of a colorful sunset. He actually made the suggestion to add some people, so I put in the stick figures of us holding hands. He liked it so much, he wanted me to put it up on the wall of his room ❤️❤️❤️

Nailed it lol

I’ve been having fun using up the almost-dry felts in my son’s art supplies and practicing my (very) limited artistic skills in some super quick drawings. I tell my son he has to give every drawing/painting a title so he gets a bit of extra writing practice at art time, and now I’ve gotten into the habit too and find it fun to come up with silly names for the pictures. This one is called - ‘As Things Used To Be’

Been reading a lot of chapter books with my son, often during meal times now since the chai tea incident after which my laptop no longer turns on. That was a blessing in disguise!

The is a recent favorite - “The Wild Robot” by Peter Brown. The story is about a cute robot named Roz who gets stuck on an island and makes friend with animals by being kind and helpful. It’s sooo cute, and there are lots of opportunities to do funny voices which I love.

Also, the book deals with a lot of great themes like parenting and diversity, and there is a darker dystopian setting in the background to give it some adult appeal without ruining the lighthearted and upbeat nature of the story.

Overall, a super fun read and both my son and I enjoyed it immensely! I’m excited to have found out there’s a sequel, so that’s something to look forward to, and a great idea for a Christmas present to us both in a few months :)
