Art imitates life?

I didn't even know what to title this post since it's so preposterous. Last week Carter brought home this lovely piece of art from church:This is a picture of our family. I am on the far left. Notice anything funny about me? Like my CHEST?!?!? I asked him about it and he got really embarrassed but said I'm always feeding Addie... I guess art is imitating life here? We laughed and laughed about it. Then I called his primary teacher (who is a good friend of mine) and she and I laughed about it too. Funny boy! (He is so going to hate me someday for documenting this!)

Spring Concert & Art Show

Last night was the spring concert and art show at Carter's school. It was a hoot watching the littlest kids singing. His class did 6 songs, 3 of which included sign language. They really did great. Here's a video of one of the songs. Carter got a bit distracted but it was still funny.

The cheering section:

Oh, and for the record, when they announced the future class of 2021, I started to cry. Sheesh.

I'm so behind on blogs so I promise to catch up next week. We're off for a fun weekend away for our anniversary! Hooray!!

Happiness Is...

a new box of crayons! Well, for Carter anyway. A couple weeks ago Carter left his big box of Crayons at Makenna's dance studio. We live about 20 minutes away so there was no way I was driving back for the crayons. In case you're wondering, Carter is our little artist. He spends probably at least an hour a day drawing and coloring. He is only allowed to use crayons upstairs (markers are reserved for the kitchen only) and he was so sad about his missing crayons all week. A few days after leaving the crayons we were at Target so I grabbed him a new box. To say he was thrilled would be an understatement. I knew we had a happy boy when I found him sleeping with his new box of crayons that night!

And his favorite thing to draw, of course, is super heroes! Here are a few of his recent drawings:

Robin:Spiderman:Green Lantern:

Superman:We're planning to put him in a little art class this summer since he loves it so much! And I love that it makes him so happy.

(PS- I'm trying to catch up on posts I've been wanting to do since I decided a few weeks ago to have my blog printed up on my 2 year anniversary!)
