Cool...

For today's coolest thing, you don't actually have to homeschool, but it's a nice perk.

Sam's assignment was to paint and draw in the same manner as the book Owl Moon. It's one of my favorites. The kids think it's okay, probably because it's such a calm, quiet book. Sam read the book and we have a few things to do that mirror what's in it.

I sat down and painted with both Annika and Sam. It's just a nice thing to do sometimes. Sam really gets into it though. He knows how to make things look like he wants them to. In that way he really takes after Jason.

But it's always fun to take a while in the middle of the day to paint.

Pictures to follow when I have a chance to take them and the camera batteries are charged. In other words, maybe never.
