Ode to a Grecian MOC?

After going to Brickfair last week, Alli is insistent that she's going to exhibit her MOC (my own creation) at the next one, so she is gradually turning our living room into a series of scenes from Ancient Greece.

So, here are some of the early pieces. Yes, I admit that I participated in some of the building, too :)


Odysseus on Circe's Island

 Hercules vs the Hydra

 The Delphic Oracle and the temple of the Oracle

 Hades and the Underworld

 Mount Olympus under siege by Titans

 

Gods and Goddesses

 Zeus and Athena

 Aphrodite, Apollo, and Poseidon

 Hercules vs the Hydra

I think Theseus and the Minotaur are under construction, although that may just be an excuse to buy the series 6 Minifigs in an effort to get the Minotaur minifig.

Anyway, we're having fun at Mount Parnassus!

More Mount Parnassus

Since "Mount Parnassus", our extremely small private school, has been a hit, and Alli liked the idea of having a uniform to wear for field trips (and has loved school stuff), I took advantage of Vistaprint freebies and discounts available and got a bunch of assorted items. They were running a "free shipping on any purchase over X", and since the polos got us over that minimum, it meant everything that was on the "Freebies" list really was free. The one downside is that Vistaprint doesn't do child-sized T-shirts or polos, and while they tend to run small on polos, Alli's "Adult small" would make a decent dress on her. I'm hoping it shrinks a bit. Michael and I have them, too.  Now, to find the perfect skirt!


Uniform polo

School tote bag, car magnet, and writing journal (all free-we had the graphic printed 4x on a big magnet, and have cut it apart to make smaller ones)

Free stationary items

"Playing" school-redux

Alli went to Mad Science class this morning, but apparently she felt that since her "classmates" at Mount Parnassus didn't go to science with her, they needed to make up the school time they'd missed.

So, she's been making them worksheets. What's interesting is that I don't actually grade her work, so she's harder on her students than I am :).

They have also done geography, pointing out countries and continents and US states on the globe, and are now doing a hands-on (well, fins and claws on for the class members who are dragons and sea serpents) project on career choices.

I'd say she's doing a great job :).
