not this cute anymore!A couple of other totally radical homeschooling moms and I are doing rotating classes for the kids... We each take a day of the week (and a fun subject) and teach the whole group. It's been great for the kids because they get to see their fave friends everyday and even better for the moms because we get a break!
My kids have really enjoyed the art class taught by the ever-talented Sabrina. These pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago. She taught them Pollock painting. Luke wasn't feeling well that day, so he missed out. And Zack went dressed as Batman.. I didn't realize until I dropped them off that Batman was actually Captain Commando.. When he put on his costume, he apparently took off his underwear :)

A few days ago, Sabrina taught them about Mary Cassatt-- an impressionist who loved to paint women and children. Sabrina gave the kids an assignment to draw a mother and child.. Ben, being the kiss-up that he is, drew a picture of his mom holding him as a baby. It's really sweet... and disturbing at the same time. As soon as I walked through the door, Sabrina had to pull me aside and show me his masterpiece.
Not only did he portray me as an Egyptian with Angelina Jolie lips and freckles the size of quarters-- but I am not wearing a shirt... and my breasts are totally lop-sided! When I asked Ben why he only drew me in a bra, he said, "You have a skirt on too!" My bad.This is Luke's version of a mother and child.... don't ask.

That is hilarious! Luke faking everybody out sounds like something my husband would have done when he was little.
Love the art class pics too. So funny that Ben drew you without a shirt! And the quarter sized freckles were umm...stunning! I love the idea of having rotating classes to break up the everyday routine.
Luke is so funny! I love how clever that was for a 6-year-old...and I'm glad I don't have to navigate his mind when he is a teenager! Good luck sorting out the true from the rest! (Although Ryan is a bit like that. One time when he was 5 he went to spend the night with Brandon's aunt, who was like a grandma to him. He asked me if he could take his Dr. Seuss computer game to her house and I said yes. That night she called me and said that as soon as he got there he ran in to play on the computer...and she found him playing one of Brandon's war games. He had snuck it there in the Dr. Seuss case!) But, so hard to get angry when they are so dang hillarious!
Janet-These pictures are priceless! I'm having fun catching up on your blog, why did I think you were taking a break. I missed out!!
