How Jack Does Sick

Jack seemed to enjoy his day home with dad.

He is definitely not feeling his best, but he's powering through.

Creative Stuff

Jason did a little drawing this week. I am quite impressed by his creation!

"Funky Monke" is his brand. All rights reserved, obviously. :)

Valentine's Craft

These guys got some Lowe's kids' club projects this week. I think they had fun. :)

Now all I need are some flowers to put in them. ❤️

President Art

For art this week, Jack was supposed to draw presidents Washington and Lincoln. He did such a good job, too!

Mission Project

Jack worked so hard on his project and paragraph!

Here is his paragraph:

"I made the San Buenaventura mission for my project. I learned many interesting things about it. First I learned it has five bells. They were borrowed from Mission Santa Barbara. Second, I learned it was founded in 1782 on March 31. It was founded by friar Junipero Serra. It was the ninth mission. Third, I learned Chumash people live there. They made leather, wine, and olive oil. I also learned the bells would tell them to do things like when to have breakfast. Lastly I learned this was the only mission that had wooden bells that were used only during the week before Easter. The San Buenaventura mission is an interesting place to visit."

I think he did a FABULOUS job!

Talent!

This kid is so talented!!

Clay Pumpkins

We decided to get our craft on and make some fall pumpkins with clay. It was pretty fun. Each boy got a 5 pound tub of clay and had at it. They shaped them and added pumpkin details. Jason's even had leaves!

Jason's pumpkin ended up being the largest. Shawn's was the smallest. (**No picture of Shawn. ☹️)

Crafting Saturday

Today we crafted and made ourselves some polymer clay trinket dishes. So fun!

Jack's is the upper left; Jason's is the upper right (he
also made the little figure; Mine is the lower left;
Shawn's is the lower right.

We do have one more step to do, which is to paint the exposed edge. We'll do that tomorrow. They did a great job!

Art

Did a little art with Jack this week...

Jack's favorite picture of the week. :)

Jack's flower pot in the rain. (The purple figure under the red rose
is him holding up an umbrella. LOL)

The big one is a butterfly...the small one is a butterfly Jack!

Creativity

Jack made our glass door into a beautiful stained glass window! He even managed to get his brothers into the act, too. :)

Cute Big Boy Saturday

Jason was practicing some calligraphy tonight. I think he did a pretty great job!

Pour Painting

Shawn and I worked on some pour painting this weekend. He's quite pleased with how his masterpieces came out!

This painting has every one of the 18 colors
he had in his art kit. lol

They're still drying, but they'll soon go up on Shawn's museum wall. :)

Nutcracking

The elf brought the boys some nutcrackers to paint. Jack and Jason got right to work!
