Family Picture

So I copied an idea I have seen in the blogging world lately - family pictures using magazine clippings. Really fun, if you haven't done this you should! As a quick disclaimer we only had 2 magazines in the whole house, and none of them had a picture of a dog which caused much distress for my children. I liked them improvisations though!

First up, James. His compilation was extremely accurate, much to my surprise.
  • Zion - drawn in (points for accuracy, minus point for not following directions)
  • Daddy - man with facial hair just like daddy
  • Luke - blond kid in a car making noise, yup that's Luke lately
  • Mommy - shadow of lady with short hair, that's me.
  • James - kid with short hair that is smiling, (he has been such a happy guy lately!)

Now for Luke's picture, get ready for a good laugh.
  • Zion - strange black monkey statue (remember he didn't have much to work with)
  • Daddy - which one is daddy you ask...the snowman. Hahahahaha!
  • Mommy - little girl with curly short hair. What? When asked why he picked this picture he replied "she is happy". I guess that is a good answer.
  • James and Luke - 2 girls!!! So hard to control my giggles. Again, asked why he picked this picture. He replied "They are hugging and are so happy." When asked why he picked a picture of girls, he replied "I liked the hugging". Aw, such a sweetie.

I loved the family art and Luke gave very good reasons for his pictures.
Since he probably doesn't know that the carving is a statue.....I can see why he might have thought it was an animal. The hugging picture and reasoning is soooooo cute. GR#EAT project!!

Did you notice that the hugging girls had the same color hair as Luke and James too!

A+ for imagination to both boys. And still funny at the same time. A great fun project.

So so so funny. Joe and I were both laughing so hard about Luke's. (I have gotten behind on blogs and just read about 5 entries of yours at once!)
