January 2015 is fast approaching its close and I have been very lax about this blog. Blog subjects have come to mind in the past days and weeks but they seem to lose steam before I record them. Taking a look around this weekend I realized an art update might be a fun blog as drawings and crafting continue to be the kids' main activities since Christmas. Kate has authored and illustrated at least a half a dozen books/novels in the past weeks including my favourite How Much Fun Can You Have With a Papa (no punctuation). Elliott is on his second novel this morning's being Halloween Spirit a six paged, six chapter book of creepy costumes - to be completed tomorrow.
As I write this I can honestly report that Kate has been immersed in a PlayDoh world for over four hours today; breaking only for lunch and a pee break. Elliott too has spent most of the day with Kate -talking, moulding and creating colourful dreams breaking only a few times to play with some toys, the dog and going outside to snow blow with Cody. OCD types would have a heart attack if they saw the mountain of mixed dough and tiny pieces that steadily grow on our dining room table and floor. It's pure magic.
So here's a peek...
My favourite drawing as of late - a young Maleficent and her enchanted friends. For those of you who have not seen the movie, I included a reference image below (Disney, please don't sue).
Kate with the first stuffy she received after birth from Grandma Sherri and Grandpa George. It remains a favourite.
Elliott's picture of the Easter Bunny with a belly full of eggs. His caption Don't talk about yolk is some bizarre joke that Kate came up with and that they both find hilarious.
Our permanently blue-nosed boy with his colourful plate of bugs.
This shot was just taken by Kate of their collaborative sculpture. For some reason I see a big clean up in my future.
Craft on everyone! And in case I don't say it in two days time - Happy Birthday Cody!
xoxo CAKE
