We went up to the cemetery last night to visit my grandparent's grave. Grandpa was a proud veteran of World War II, I think we managed to get enough flags on there to make him happy. I am grateful for both my grandfather's service, and their influence on me. I wish my kids had know all my grandparents. They only remember Great Nanny, my Grandma Butler. She adored them.

Today I offered to take the kids to a movie but they preferred an art day. So out came the canvas and paints. We decided to try s0me abstract art today for fun.

I recommend abstract art for little artists. Look how great Josh's creation is. I am not sure what to do with this kid, he truly seems to be ambidextrous. He painted with his left and right hand equally well. Suggestions? Which hand do I encourage? Or do I just let him keep going back and forth?

Brittany did paint these with her eyes open even if I didn't manage to get the picture that way.
I love the picture of the girl with the book on her head especially.

Loved Matthew's new abstract art too. We watched musicals and painted. I love art days with my kids!
