Well, it looks like Sadie has figured out an Olympic sport that works well for having one frond (cactus arm) – the shot put! She was super excited that Michelle Carter was the first woman in the US to win a gold medal in shot put in the Olympics. I haven’t told her how heavy the actual shot puts are…the women’s shot (the ball is called the shot) weighs 8.8 pounds (4kg) and men’s shot weighs 16 pounds (7kg) – […]

I know that it’s summer when I see lemonade stands popping up! I don’t know about where you live, but where we live it’s really hot and lemonade is the perfect drink to cool down. There is evidence that people were drinking lemonade in Egypt a long time ago (1500 years ago!) – which I can understand…it’s really hot there! I’m wondering if Sadie is going to drink all of the lemonade! Click on the image below, or click here, to open […]

Running through the sprinkler has to be one of the funnest things about summer! This type of sprinkler was invented because people wanted green grass – and so it needed to be watered. Now there are much more water saving ways to keep your grass green…but lucky for Sophie and Sadie they still have one that makes water in the shape of a fan!

It’s almost summer! and that means it’s time to start the garden. Actually, we probably should have started a few weeks ago, but better late than never! Sophie and Sadie are trying to decide which seeds to buy. What are your favorite vegetables?

One of the gifts that artists give us (especially those who were painting in the time before cameras or cell phones!) is an idea of what life was like in different times. We can see what people wore, what they did, what their homes looked like. The Impressionist artists even painted outside instead of in a studio so they could really show what people were doing. Mary Cassatt was an artist who was especially interested in painting women and children. […]

Yay – we’re four years old! Well, the website is and I’ve been putting up coloring pages almost every Thursday (except for major holidays) every week. Thanks for following our adventures!

We’ve been doing a lot of exploring of the museum – and it’s time for a snack! Did you know that almost all of the bananas that we eat are clones of each other?! There are over 1,000 different kinds of bananas, but only a few that taste good enough to eat – even covered with ice cream, sauce, and whipped cream! I’m glad Sophie and Sadie are such good friends they can share so nicely! Click on the image […]

People have been making collages for hundreds of years – but it was artists including Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso that brought it to modern art. A famous collage by Matisse is called Icarus, who in Greek Mythology was the one who wanted to fly. I want to to – and I think Sadie does also! How about you? The word collage comes from the French word for glue. You don’t have to actually use glue to make a collage […]

The oldest sculpture that has been found looks like a lion’s head on a person’s body. For some reason, Sophie and Sadie think that is pretty funny. It was found in Germany where they call it Lowenmensch – which basically means lion human and is 40,000 years old! It was carved out of the tusk of a woolly mammoth. I don’t know about you, but I think it was smart of the museum to put it in a glass cabinet! […]

Sadie’s found a bunch of little Sadies! If you think that’s a little bit funny, then you’ll understand the difference between minimalism and post-minimalism. Very basic shapes using basic materials (minimalism) done in a way that is a little bit funny. And sometimes making a lot of them – sometimes identical and sometimes not quite. In this case, there are 19 cacti, but none of them is exactly the same. It’s similar to the piece Repetition 19 by the artist […]
