So, we studied boa constrictors today. Mainly triggered by reading
The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash ![](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/615YV6Z1GCL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA240_SH20_OU01_.jpg)

Then after reading about how boa constrictors really eat (click on picture of actual boa at top for link), Zac simulated it with a stuffed animal and a slinky. Cool. It was his idea.

Then Payge tried to eat the stuffed animal. She's teething. The other two started to refer to her as "Mommy Constrictor" with the slinky being her offspring, I guess. Hee hee.
We returned to our water color pencils, and made these:
