When The Lights Are Out

So what do we do when we wake up in the morning to snow, wind and no electricity for 3 hours? Nothing different. Greta headed to her art shelf as usual and we decided it was a good day to make animals in the wilderness. As anatomically correct as we could make them with pipe cleaners, that is. My favorite, the skunk. Greta was partial to the one-eyed bunny, such a sad story, poor bunny. It was fun making this but always more fun to see what Greta's creative mind will make of it. Shortly after this photo, paper made lumber jacks were added (the animals talked the lumber jacks into leaving the forest for good and never cutting down their trees) and then the buck became Rudolph and it was just like Christmas. Tomorrow, Greta has a bit of video for you since she is feeling better and this weekend I will show you my new quirky family painting I drew up last night. I just need to add some color to it before I show you a peek.

You are an awesome mom! No TV needed! What a great idea to keep the kiddles entertained. And fun for you, too, it looks like.
