Beanie Bag Fun

Posted in Just for fun

Last night Taylor came up to me and asked if her and Isaac could make bean bags.  She calls them beanie bags.  I told them sure, but they had to use old socks, not the brand new ones.  After a few tries, they finally found appropriate socks- although they are quite dirty.  I'm on the phone with a friend and slightly distracted so apparently I'm not thinking clearly when I ask her what she's going to put in the bean bags.  She looks at me like I might just be the dumbest person on the planet and says, "Uh, beans."   Well, OK then.

Please ignore my VERY mismatched child and dirty home.

Elephant Self Portrait

Posted in Just for fun

When we were at the Knoxville Zoo, we saw some paintings done by elephants for sale for $50.  They were pretty much just where an elaphant had taken a paintbrust up and down several times on a piece of paper.  Pretty cool, but nothing to pay 50 bucks for. 

When I mentioned it at church someone pulled this up on their laptop.  The video last about 8 minutes, but it is amazing!  If I didn't see him painting, I would have never believed it.  I'm sure these sell for much more than $50.
