The first several Bionicle based movies were filmed in my bedroom. Here is Jesse's favorite. My bed is now on You Tube. Luckily, I'd made it that day. ; )
The most recent one has been started at the farm, with yet more actors and directors:
Reviewing their work on Eli's Flip camera:
In addition, there has been polimer clay to sculpt (This is our newly-unschooling friend Jack):
and Bananagrams games to play with me. Jesse did this one solo:
I noticed one word that was missing a few letters and he rearranged whole words and fixed it in seconds. Jesse's Bananagrams ability is something to behold, or to run from , depending on your self-esteem that moment. 
Another highlight of the week was going to a fund raiser in a nearby small town. Social Circle resident, Robbie Baldoni, was a passionate skate boarder who had just begun his own well-organized plan to create a local free skate park, when he suddenly died, at twelve, from a brain aneurism. His family has been continuing the work to make his skate park dream come true. Yesterday, a ramp company from Missouri donated ramps for a fund raiser (drove them here for free!) and we all bought Robbie shirts, Robbie hats and lots of food, to help create the dream park. Their story is here. They are home schoolers as well.
Jesse, wearing a hat like the one Robbie always wore when he was on his board:

Do you have a link for their movie? :) And I have to agree.. Jesse rocks at Bananagrams! Amazing!!
That's really nice the ramp company helped out! Looks like fun. A neighbor was just joking that Matt needed one of those hats for his "reggae rock band with an MC". haha
If you had any problems/issues with the album, email me. I need to get the shop up and ready this week! No rush on using it! :)
Ready for the shop?! OK! That gives me the push I need to take the time for myself out in my art room tomorrow. Will have a post about it in the next two days. I promise.
Hi Madeline,
Not sure of you got my email but you won the giveaway at ecomilf, so please let me know who and where you want it sent to! Congratulations! xo Meagan.
my son and i will definitely be following that you-tube link :) maybe he'll be inspired to play with his bionicles again. and now i'm inspired to break out our bananagrams - i love that game!
That movie is so cool!!! The pictures are so well taken and put in a video!
I watch House on TV too!! Well...i don't watch TV often, but when i do, i see that! :D
Jesse, i am sure, is really good at Bananagrams! Along with all the other games concerning letters, pictures and cards!! :)
I miss you all so much!! I want to come to Atlanta!! :(
aw man, I see you had a link right there... doh! :) It's awesome!
Kelli, I added the link for you. : )
Aw, Madeline, you made me laugh and cry in the first fifteen minutes of being awake. How's that for a good start to the day? Well, I guess YOU didn't really make me cry this time, but you certainly have done so with your words before. I went to the link about the skate park and was very touched by Robbie's story. Looks like a great park, and he sounds like he was a pretty amazing boy.
And those Bionicle movies are fun (I watched all three)! I look forward to seeing more from these fabulous directors/actors. Live action? Claymation? They're trying it all out, and I love it!
