Creative Nathaniel

One of the highlights of my week is seeing what Nathaniel brings home from school. A couple of weeks ago we got to look at everything together after the little boys are in bed. He's so proud of his work, and I can tell he loves school. That makes me so happy. The first one is a short story they have been doing. They read a book then make a summary of it. I think Nathaniel said this first one was based off of an Ezra Jack Keats book.

"The Epic Bridge" - I don't know where he picked up the word "Epic" or "epek" as he spelled it

He said he learned how to draw this cat in art

This one is from church, he told me that Jesus had a sunburn.

I like these drawings of his

I really think his drawings are fantastic. I hope he keeps drawing and using his creativity.

Nathaniel's Work

Nathaniel continues to do a great job at school. He is happy and works hard! I don't care that much about his worksheets, but the art he does on the back is fabulous. His teacher encourages him to sound out words and spell them on his own. We've also had several projects. The first one is his Veteran's Day project, which he did about Pops. This is a picture I took of his project hanging on the wall in the hallway at school.

Science fair project

Love this one. Calling it "Germs are being Washed."

He told me that they were supposed to draw what they liked to do on a rainy day. His says "I like to cuddle with my stuffed animals and watch tv." That is his dionsaur "Tri" and monkey "Buford" in the picture.

Nathaniel told me he was the only one to draw a Crow's Nest on his ship. :)

Firefighter putting out a fire

He drew the face on the pumpkin. He liked scary pumpkins this year.

I think the upper right is a domino

Joel, who is unfortunately showing skill at climbing like his brother Seth.

I won't tell you how many times I had to pull Joel off the Lego table yesterday. I thought taking the table part off would stop him from climbing but as you can see it didn't. Seth cheering him on in the background.

Happy Thanksgiving

We have so much to be thankful for this year! We have a beautiful, healthy family and we are so grateful.

A placemat Nathaniel made at school

His school project - to disguise a turkey. He chose to dress his turkey up as a Texas Tech football player. His idea, not ours!

We went to our friend Barb's for Thanksgiving. She is so sweet, she let us come eat lunch with her family and they did all of the work and cooked all of the food. We had a great time.

Everyone played play-doh with Nathaniel after lunch.

Time to head home - everyone was tired.

We are so thankful for our family and friends!

Best Artist Ever

Nathaniel drew this picture earlier this week. The person on the right is me (Mommy). I am pulling Nathaniel on a sled. I was pretty impressed!
