Lest you think his fascination with all things movie has lessened, here is a glimpse of a day in the life. I will spare you the 5,000 (I only slightly exaggerate) pictures of various toys, legos, household items that he has taken pictures of. Not to mention the short videos we have all unwillingly particpated in. That is before he discovered WindowsMoviemaker and by discovered I mean, that I spent days on the computer trying to find something he could use to transform his thousands (I’ve got the numbers to support me here) of pictures into something that wasn’t on my phone, well there were a lot of pictures on my phone, that’s all. A lot. Thousands. I swear.
Once I unlooked my phone from any automatically back up I had because I didn’t really need 450 pictures of Megazord attacking Chewbacca, I gave him the old digital camera. But then we were forced to view minuscule blurry, thumb powered stop-motion movies. Starring his brother and my foot and the carnage of plastic in their room.
It was in despair, and the realization that getting glasses is not as far in the future as I’d like to think that I turned to Windowsmoviemaker. And then that I realized it wasn’t just my vision that was blurry but also the pictures. So we set up the tripod and the camera and well I haven’t seen him since, except to preview the slighty less blurry and disjointed viewing of Random Toys ate my Brother who died a very Violent death for being bitten by Inanimate Plastic figures. I may have gotten the name wrong there, not sure.
Current project, from our Unit on the Underground Railroad. See how I tied homeschool into that whole movie making scheme?
Sneaky.. And seriously do you have any factual evidence that there were not redheaded yellow slaves? I didn’t think so.

What a wonderful activity for a young man. I look forward to attending his first blockbuster movie on the big screen.
AWESOME, Brit!
