1-2-3 Draw!

Yes, we have a television in our car, but I only use it on long trips or as a reward for good behavior. Most of the time, the kids fill the time spent in the car writing and drawing in notebooks. It takes a couple of months to fill the books, but I always look forward to the times when they tell me their books are full. This is when I get to see what they have written and drawn. I encourage them to not tear out the pages, so I can save the books as keepsakes.

You never know WHAT you're going to see in these notebooks...

Here is a progression of self-potraits from Emerson over the summer. Quite a bit of progress!




And here's a few from Owen...

A bird and his house:


A common alien:


A dinosaur and his volcano:


A snowball fight:


And then things get a little more interesting.



Obviously upset with his sister:


And the one that really makes his sister mad:
"Ho, ho, ho, ho. Emerson is a daisy."
Gets to her EVERY time. LOL.


Like I said, you never know WHAT you're going to get. But I always look forward to reading them!

With that, I'll leave you with some Spongebob, Gary, Patrick, Mr. Crabs and the gang.
