Day 22

 Day 22 out of 24, oh my!!!  As it is always important to keep homesteaders on their toes we began our day learning a new song.  Today we sang:  the Coffee song, the Tin Soldier, the Song of the Soul, Sneeze on Me (like Lean on Me, adapted by Lula), the Llama song, the Gibberish song, and Bohemian Rhapsody.  We are pretty much awesome at singing.  Next we moved onto the plan of the day.  This is somewhat to give everyone an idea of what is in store, it is also to teach homesteaders proper grammar and spelling.  Now that we are at day 22, I think I can say that we have succeeded in unlearning the homesteaders everything their language arts teachers taught them.  The morning beZerk had homesteaders working diligently (and not so diligently) on their mini fair attractions and signage.  The afternoon brought swimming, more mini fair work, map work, the BIG string finally came down, a nice mid week campfire show, and the DJs on the radio managed to blow the Village amp... so if you have one to get rid of, we could really use it!  (I'm not joking here)

this is how we work together to get to the pond more faster

 Today's campfire was organized by homesteader Harley.  He did an wonderful job!!!  We enjoyed simultaneous lectures, a dance by Lula and Fallon, ninja tug of war, and ding.

Lilly and Nick simultaneously speak to us about star fish digestion and leprechauns on Mars, and George Washington's little known hobby as a dancer!

"...he swivels to the left..."

a captive audience

Cedric and Pasley give speeches about the reason for roller skates to do back flips in Kentucky illegally, and self cannibalistic capes.  "...once the cape is in the universes stomach..."

Lula and Fallon impress us with their dance moves.

 

Ninja tug of war!

everyone cheers for Fallon

Playing ding.  Somehow our participants (a lawyer and a swimmer) wound up in a dance off!

Day 21

 There is very little that I will share today...  We are in secret mode getting things ready for the Mini Fair.  Are you coming????  The Fez Mini Fair will be this Thursday from 3 to 6pm.  THis morning we sang Great Green Gobs... of sneezed out coffee, got kazoos out and sang/kazooed Lean on Me, a new song called Song of the Soul, the Llama song, and the Coffee song.  Our morning work was spent making decisions about mini fair, paying off federal loans, printing more fish fingers, and werking real hard!!!!  This continued in the afternoon when we also added the completion of the big map back into the mix.  A bright idea came up at lunch:  a peep bus stop "Wait, can it be a train?").  The purpose of the peep bus is to make more time for CTF and other games by helping to get corvee started earlier.  The big idea being that if a few people carry all of the peeps down to their houses and put them to bed (or whatever it is that the peeps do in our absence), then no short or tired legs hold us back from our greatest potential.  I would rate this idea as very positive- one of our first real exhibits of teamwork.  In practice (at least for the this first time) I would at best be able to call it a work in progress.  Something about the peep bus being gone got all of the homesteaders thinking only about #1, rather than the usual, "I'll help you because my job is finished."  Instead of the usual 20ish minutes of putting peeps back in houses and corvee-ing, this took MUCH longer!  Less time for games.  Oh well.

Peep bus stop!
