my turnip painting with a turnip recipe. Check it out:

An update on my art class: The kids are adorable & keep me laughing. My goal is to have an actual picture of them by the end of the year, but the camera is the last thing on my mind for now. Last week we went on a leaf hunt and made imprints of our finds. They loved mixing the paint & showing each other what colors they came up with. This is one of their little creations:

This week, to get in the spirit of Halloween, we made "magic bottles", wizard hats, and wizard wands. At the end of class we had contest.... everyone came up with a wizard name & modeled their costume. This event was extremely photo worthy, but I was busy keeping wandering hands out of the "treat box" (read: bribe-to-behave box). It was truly a hoot.... among the contestants was a "Wizard Tinkerbell" and a "Wizard Lizard".
