messed up drawing contest

for FHE tonight we told the story of the good Samaritan by each saying a sentence and then passing it on to the next person...  we got through the story with several laughs and (I think) a good moral at the end.  We learned to never leave a dying man on the side of the road... and never include your superhero-obsessed 3 year old in a retelling of a Bible classic, unless you want Hulk, Captain America and Iron Man to beat up all the bad guys... which actually might be a better version than the original.?

We were still feeling the pass-it-along vibe into our activity and decided to have a drawing experiment.  We took 5 sheets of paper and folded them each into five sections.  Everyone started out drawing a head (only) and then folded the paper over and passed it along to the next person.  They couldn't see the section above, but had to continue drawing the next body part by only connecting the last lines of the picture.  After passing it five times, we each drew a different part of the body on all five papers.  Fortunately, out of all five drawings only one weenie made it's debut.. (along with a fart, a man who peed his pants, a couple of big booties and 4 hairy legs.)

The green head is Ben's (we made him change to a pencil after the first round.)  The peace sign is Zack's along with the weenie.. he's learning about how to be 'appropriate' in his art..  and the stinky balernia feet (slash Medusa slash chewbacca) are Luke's.  Simon was busy drawing on paper of his own.. he would not pass his drawings... (still learning to share :)

We got a good laugh over these crazy characters and after it was all said and done, the boys asked, "Can you please put these in our family yearbook for 2012?"  Yes, yes, I will.  And thank you for noticing how well I document your lives, dear children.
