Apr. 10, 2008 - Instead of Laundry

The above photo is obviously a picture of a pile of unfolded laundry.  I should be folding it right now and getting ready for bed, but I just couldn't pass up this uninterrupted moment to post.  Everyone else is asleep. 

We had a nice day.  The weather was very warm and windy.  The children and I went out for some nature study in the yard.  I thought I would draw with them, but somebody had to keep their eyes on our littlest one.  She was doing her own form of nature study primarily by taste!   Alexa did several leaf rubbings and labeled them nicely.  Gibson drew the neighbors' house and their front yard with a car out front.  I'm trying to explain to him that we are drawing objects only of nature, but, bless his heart, he would rather draw exactly what he sees regardless of it's origin.  At least he had a tree with a couple of cute little birdies in it.
