My Quivers Full - Art in the Park

Sep. 3, 2008 - Art in the Park

I'm still swamped with things going on here, so I don't have much time to post. I did want to share some pictures of our first day back in the swing with art. I'm calling it "Art in the Park". We went to our favorite park, affectionately called "the duck park" by our boys. Hmmm, can you see why?

A picture of maybe a third of the ducks that came over when we we arrived with bread. More came the longer we stayed.

Yertle the Turtle also showed up

While Big Man (8) and Peanut (3) fed some of the hungry crowd . . .

Little Monkey (6) had a couple of fans all to himself. The big white ones (the Aflack ducks ) were really funny. If we turned around to get more bread from the bags, they would tap on our shoes with their beaks, then look pleadingly up at us. They were also the ones we could feed right out of our hands.

Once were were out of bread, we decided it was time to get the sketch pads out.

Big Man's final product. I had meant to bring along the colored pencils so we could make these more than pencil sketches. Oh well, maybe next time.

After all of that hard work, we decided we needed recess and headed over to the playground area

We're cruising right along with our other work. We have also started science, much to the delight of my children. We were finishing up a "lab project" yesterday when Little Monkey asked if he was done. I said that yes, he was a good little scientist that day and got all of his work done. He turned around with enormous eyes and said, "Was I being a real scientist today?!" We're learning about slavery in history which has fascinated the boys. My hubby has to travel to D.C. in a few weeks. Oh, if only we could come along and visit Mount Vernon!!!
