It’s a cool, dreary day, which I love, so after accomplishing some book work this morning, I decided it was perfect weather for watercolor painting. We’re on the cusp of autumn in east Tennessee so that was the theme for our art.
Jackson isn’t typically enthusiastic about any sort of art (he dreads coloring), but I usually make him do something within the parameters of his abilities and interest. This is why his expression here is entirely fake. Look excited to be painting, Jack.
Like this, Mom?
Note: I realize Jackson’s hair is ridiculous. The poor child has a head full of cowlicks that cause his hair to grow in a series of swirls – which is why we usually buzz it. However, since we don’t have to worry about school pictures this year, we decided to experiment with growing out his hair. We’re so curious to see what it’ll look like when it’s longer than a centimeter!
Finally, special thanks to Great Grandma and Grandpa Thomas for the package we received this morning. The boys really love the pop-up book. (They’ve added Lego Star Wars guys to the cast of characters. Of course.)
