I love Halloween

Today I was posting some old Halloween costumes on ebay and I realized that I have never gotten around to posting them here. Just lazy I guess. Here they are! It is fun to see how much they have grown up (the boys-not the costumes). I think they speak for themselves so I will not say much about each one (plus I am still lazy). I meant to start with william's first halloween and work my way up but instead I start with last year and work my way down. What are they going to be this year? Maybe I will post those before the boys go to college (or maybe not).


William is a rocket but this was the only shot I had of him in his costume. It was not my best made costume but I think it was his favorite! He still wears that one.

Online Art Show

William took an art class through our city this summer. He had his first art show as culmination of the classes. He wanted to have and "online art-show" to share this with our family and friends who couldn't be here. The remainder of this post will be him narrating. I will type things as he says them. He is excited to hear everyone's comments so here we go:

Welcome to my first ART-SHOW! The picture that is right to the side of my head is my self-portrait. Does it look the same as me a little but not all ways? I glued tissue paper around it to decorate it.

The one on black paper is my mosaic snake hiding in the grass. It has orange diamonds on it. If you look carefully, you can see dandelions in the grass too.


This is my snake. I scuplted him out of my clay. I took my time to paint him. He is painted in 3 different colors of green. This way he will camoflauge in the grass. He is half rattle snake and half normal snake. His tongue is red. He has one yellow eye and one green eye. I made him that way so he would look spooky.

This is my oil painting. It is fishies with seaweed. It was fun to paint. I accidentally used too much turpentine and I got my canvas board soaking wet. It dried ok though it took longer.



I hope you had fun at my art show!
