Works of Art

I'm not quite sure where they got it from, but it appears each of our kids have developed a love of (and talent for) artistic expression.  We have an "art table" at home that they use constantly for various painting, drawing, and other creative projects.  And they are also encouraged to develop their artistic skills at school, which is awesome.

Recently, Aaron was one of only SEVEN students at his elementary school chosen to display his artwork at the JeffCo Student Art Show at Red Rocks College.  He was so proud, and we are so proud of him!!!

Appropriately titled: "Flower Still-Life."

Danny's preschool also put on an art show, where he got to show us all of the cool paintings and projects he's been working on.

Jill has brought home a number of artistic pieces from school, including a very cool glazed, clay snail.  But perhaps her most significant creative outlet (at least recently) has been her appearance.  She has been begging me to dye her hair blue for a long time now, and I finally gave in because I want her to be her true self.  I just wish I would have looked a bit closer at the label on the box before doing it...turns out I accidentally bought "permanent" dye, instead of temporary.  Whoops!

She's gonna be her "true self" for a bit longer than we anticipated, but she doesn't seem to mind.  And it actually looks pretty cool...
