March 4, 2011...Ahoy Matey!

Today was a bit of a project day.  I was working from home so I put the kids to work on projects that would occupy their time while I attended to my grants work.  Nate did so well building this pirate ship and then painting it.  He was very upset not to be able to go outside and set sail in the pond out front but he got over it when I promised to let him help me make cookies for dessert.  

February 1, 2011...Artistic Tendencies

I bought these cheap little wooden frames at Target for the boys to paint and it came in handy tonight as a project to keep them occupied while I made dinner.  Alex was very serious about his art until he started testing and "threatening" to eat the paint...I'm sure it was non-toxic, of course, but no doubt made in China so it's not worth risking!  :)  This kid loves coloring, painting, drawing...maybe he'll be an artist like his Aunt Sarah?!?
