When pigs fly

School is going quite well.  I have to stay on top of our organization, but so far so good.  

I am good at organizing, but not so good in the creative, art department.  Never have been and probably never will be.  It's not something I am good at or really care about.  

I started to feel bad about my kids not getting to do more crafty things.  I discovered this great book.


It's basically a how to teach art for dummies kind of book.  I felt hopeful.  

So basically, the title of the post comes from the fact that pigs must be flying because this very non-artsy mama is now teaching art.


Our first lesson went quite well.  We learned about line and the different kind of lines.  I had allotted 30 minutes for the class, but the kids wanted to keep going.  They worked for an hour making pictures using various lines.


I may learn something yet with all this schooling.

I just found this extra picture of Grammie and the boys.  Baby K was sleeping so she missed this shot.  We had a fun visit.
