Picasso or Rembrandt?

All we do in this house is paint, color and draw. And every once in a while we read a book. We send a few pictures to the grandparents, but the majority of it goes in the garbage. I know, it's really terrible. But if I saved everything they did, my house would be piled with papers, and I just can't handle it anymore!! Can you tell I am going a little crazy?Homeschooling is really great for a lot of reasons, but I love that Zack thinks he is a part of everything. Ben and Luke have always enjoyed art, but little Zack is OBSESSED. Seriously, he starts shaking and freaking out if he sees a marker that he can't reach (or can't have--like, we're in public and it's someone else's.. talk about tantrums!) But I think all of his time at "the art desk" is paying off. Zack has talent for a 20 month old, if I do say so myself. He is very thorough and organized about what he does. These are just a couple from yesterday...(mind you, at least 10 others were thrown away.)

Now, I don't really want to brag about a page full of scribbles, but the kid knows what he's doing! He uses different colors and makes sure to balance the page. He's very excited about making circles lately and I am in awe of what he can do already. I am not, however, proud of the art on my walls.. Ugh. Magic erasers are a must-have in this house!

And since I told you about my homemade birthday cards, I thought I would show you a couple...

Ben double layers a lot of his artwork.. he cut out the top part of the first page, so he didn't have to write 'mom' twice (very efficient.) It's says "happy birthday mom" inside the card.

Luke is very aware that everything pink and girly is dedicated to me... rainbows, hearts, flowers, etc. I am so spoiled being the only girl!
