We have one obsession at our home right now, ROBOTS. I thought that I had better document ALL facets of it, so that we can remember this fun time in our lives.
I don’t know when this started, or with what, but Robotics has been in my boys blood for a while. I can’t and won’t be able to remember them all, but here are a few of the many robots in our lives:
Buddy. Here is the first Robot, built out of junk. Tucker, Andy and Truman built it last year. They were quite disappointed when it didn’t come to life, when they put all of the pieces together.
Tucks Robot Blanket: (see previous post) Tucker has Vision, he designed it and helped me make it in one afternoon.
Dancing like a Robot: After just pretending to be robots, Dad found this awesome Robot Music, and Tucker started to dance.

Robot Notebooks: We have 3 notebooks full of Robot Artwork, the pages are full front and back, of robots and landscapes drawn by Tucker
Robot Stories: This project has many phases. 1. Print Robot picture off the internet. 2.Color the Pictures. 3.Cut out the pictures. 4.Paste the picture to a plain piece of paper. 5. Staple this paper to a blank paper. 6. Dictate a story about this robot to mother. 7. Three hole punch this paper 8. Place in notebook.
These stories are so funny, and contrived in Tuckers head.
Wall-e: The new pixar Movie, about a robot. We are DEFINITELY going to the theater to see this one. (the boys loved to watch the trailor, and move pillows around like they are cubes of junk..They even talk in the Wall-e robot voice.
Playing with Andy’s Robot Toys: Andy got an awesome robot building toy for his birthday, he brought it to play with at our house one afternoon. Of course, my boys loved it!

Robot Museum: Tucker set up all of his robot stuff one day, and made a museum and filmed it himself. (We are also in the process of going to the Children Museum in SLC that has a Robot interactive exhibit right now, my boys are pumped about this!) Here are a few he took pics of and a video that he made. Warning, the video makes me motion sick…watch at your own risk!

Robot toys.Daily, a robot of one kind or another is played with. We have a few Robots, most of all have been played with so much, that they are broken. Here is a picture of the robots playing soccer on our mini-pool table.
Robot books: Whether it is getting them from the Library or the DI, we love to find, read and re-read books about robots. We have 2 favorites right now: “Ricky Ricotta and his Pet Robot” and this one.
Robot Costumes: of course we can’t forget these.
Robot Squares Tucker wants to make another blanket, we are making it one square at a time.
Legos: Tucker builds with Legos, makes robots, then places each one in a sandwich bag, then places it on my ledge. The sad part is, that this seems normal, and don’t realize they are there until guests ask about them. 
How I love my little Robot Lovers.
