Josh in Sculpey

Had a little blog break last week, oops! It was a very busy week and I'll tell you more about that tomorrow. Here is Josh with a "self-portrait" sculpture he did for his art class. Only 27 more days of school for him this year before summer break! He takes the state standardized tests tomorrow and the next day, then we're gonna take the last two days this week off to go camping with our church group. The K12 virtual academy has worked really well for him this year and we have already registered him again for next school year (7th grade). I still feel like it brings together some of the best things about public school and homeschooling.

I didn't take a picture of the part where he added a LEGO gun to this guy and had him shootin' everything up. :-p Boys.

chalk + cement = happiness

During our stay-at-home sickfest Spring Break I did a run to Target and came home with new sidewalk chalk and sidewalk paint. Everyone was very happy! We are enjoying the nice, wide, long driveway at our new house. A week or so later we tried painting the sidewalk with watered-down acrylic paint and discovered that it doesn't quite wash off like Crayola's sidewalk paint does. ;-)
