Art class

Okay, so it's not really art class. I am not that anal about structured activities for my children! But they did enjoy it oh so much and I did enjoy watching them. For the most part anyway, except when James would freak out because his paint thingies woulds fall over and he'd scream for me to set them up for him again. That part got a little old, real fast! They love to paint and draw with and on any thing. I have to keep all pens and paper up and out of their chubby little reach or they will draw on things that they are not supposed to draw on. i.e receipts, important medical papers and they even tried to give each other tattoos on their belly's a few days ago. It takes ink a good 3 bath nights to come completely off!
They would much rather draw with markers than crayons (imagine that) so I broke down and bought some washable ones the other day and they love to sit and draw with them. And they are a lot neater than I imagined they would be; they hardly get any on their hands and faces. They are both pretty good at drawing circles and lines (or snakes) and they each have extraordinary imaginations as to what their scribblings are. They draw all sorts of animals and flowers and love to draw me and Jon! I have never been very artistic, especially when it comes to drawing things, but I never realized how bad a I really stink at it until I started getting requests from my chillins!!

I am amazed that their attention span is long enough for them to sit long enough to color and paint- it seems remarkable for the age, and especially since they've never been to "outside home school". They're going to be great little students.

Look how they are both holding their brushes! Amazing. Truly amazing babies. I don't LIKE Sydney...
