Big Kid Pics

Nikolai wanted to make a Ninja outfit. He asked me for a big black cape and when I told him I didn't have one he improvised with construction paper and created this outfit...

Complete with a closable mouth piece...
I taught MaryKate, Chesley, and Emma an art class this fall. This was our final project, drawing a landscape, tracing it to make two copies, then painting one with cool colors and one with warm colors. I LOVE their results (Chesley was sick that day so she didn't get finish it at my house. Hint Hint Amy, I need a picture of her with hers)

Did you ever think you'd see a snow scene done in warm colors?

Karl, my Dungeon and Dragon's playing has totally rubbed off on my kids, Nikolai especially. Here they are in the park planning the game they are about to play out. Nikolai plays the Dungeon Master AND a character with MaryKate. He always has the Hunter's Bear Trap as his daily power and he allowed MaryKate to have a Horse to ride, a bear and a Lion to fight his. We definitely have a future gamer on our hands.
