One of my favorite things to do is something I like to call "secret drawings". Mama draws a picture onto a white piece of paper using a white crayon. I can't see the drawing until I paint over it with watercolors. It's so much fun to discover what Mama has drawn.
Mama and I used a pumpkin we still had from Halloween to make this pumpkin turkey. We colored paper feathers and I cut out most of the feathers all by myself. Then we taped each feather to a wooden skewer and stuck them in the pumpkin. Happy Turkey Day!
I've always loved Max from Where the Wild Things Are...even before the movie came out. So that's what I wanted to be for Halloween. During the day I was a skeleton with my baby brother and when I went to trick-or-treat I put on my Max costume.
After mama wrote and hid clues that led to a special prize, Bampa and I set out to work with our detective gear. The clues led me all around the house and after a lot of hard detective work we ended up at the bathtub where my prize, a toy shaving kit, was waiting for me.
I'm a homespun, handmade, home school kind of mom. I know my limits though and sometimes it's a macaroni and cheese kind of day (and I'm not talking from scratch.) I just thought you should know what I've been up to these days.
