Cutest Grandkids Ever at the Grant Elementary Halloween Parade! I didn't even recognize Jacob in his cheerleader costume! It's fun to see the delight on the kids' faces as they march through the gym dressed in all their Halloween finery.  It's a fun tradition that I hope continues for years to come.

My own version of pageant of the masters

So Mackenzie & Sophie's mom (aka: Aimee) asked me if I would paint a mural on their new bedroom wall with cute owls, butterflies, a large tree and some birds. Then Sophie saw a picture of 2 girls in a swing and decided she wanted a swing in her tree.  These paintings always take longer than I think they will. But it's a fun creative outlet, though nerve-wracking, because I'm always afraid it will turn out like a kindergarten drawing. Which is not a bad thing, if you're in kindergarten. So here's what I have drawn/painted so far, and then a photo of the finished mural.
