Annual Art Show

This is the last year that the kids can go to Betty Rowlands. This is VERY tragic for some of us. They are a fantastic group of people and have an annual art show. Here are some pieces from that showing:

As you can tell from comparing the wee girl's sunflowers to some of the others, she's improved drastically in the last bit. Her flower LOOKS like an actual flower this time vs last years. The Boy's aren't too far behind as his pictures are fairly recognizable, definitely boy-ish, but you can tell what they are.

CAMPING

The kids decided they wanted to go camping. But, lets just be realistic, none of us should be outside with fire and sleeping on the ground. It's just spells DISASTER.  So we had a camp-in. A tent was made with some ropes and sheets and an air mattress inside.  There was a demonstration on fire (and on fire extinguishers and NO nothing was caught on fire that wasn't supposed to be). Popcorn was consumed. There was much running around outside with flashlights. And the worlds fluffiest smores were made. According to both kids, the smores were the best part of the evening. Which is rather ironic since THOSE can be made without stringing rope across the living room, pulling out all the sheets and pillows, and rearranging.

Smores...
