My Budding Artist

Over the weekend Evan was coloring and started drawing pictures for everyone. I shared these on Facebook, but for those of you not on Facebook or aren't on there often I wanted to share them here too. I thought they deserved to be shared some more! Evan said he was going to draw a picture of Spongebob. When he was all done, I couldn't believe my eyes. I was really impressed with what I saw. Here's his picture of Spongebob!


Not bad for a five year old, huh? I think it might even be better than I could do. He even wrote "mom" at the bottom since the picture was for me. How sweet, huh? This was the first time he's ever drawn Spongebob so I'd say it was very good for his first time.

On Sunday it was raining most of the day until late in the afternoon. I saw a rainbow while I was driving and snapped a picture when I stopped. I had shown it too the kids and then later that night when Evan was coloring again he said he was going to draw a rainbow. He decided he wanted it to be a "spring picture" with a rainbow in it. This is the picture he brought to me when he was done.


Not bad again. This is him outside with a rainbow in the sky. There's flowers on the left and a tree on the right. That's his hopping bunny next to the tree. I think my little guy is turning into a budding artist. I'm really enjoying his pictures and I hope you did too! Great job Evan, keep up the nice coloring!

In other news, Greg worked from home yesterday. It went pretty good and he actually got some work done even though the kids were running around! Today Greg's car was getting fixed. He had slid into a street sign a couple winters ago and needed it fixed before we have to turn it in next month. His cousin works at a Chevy dealer so he was able to get it fixed for us cheap. Thanks Chris! So Greg was without a car today. We didn't want to have to wake the kids up super early for me to take him to work so he decided to try out the CATA bus. There's apartments down the road from us that MSU students live in so the bus runs regularly. Greg hopped on it to work this morning and believe it or not, he said it wasn't too bad. I'm thinking maybe that's our next car... a CATA bus pass! The Spartans played the Wolverines tonight in basketball and it was another nail biter to the end. Thankfully they pulled of another "W" and beat Michigan. That's two 1 point wins in the final minute in the last two games. C'mon Spartans, you gotta step it up a notch now! I can't take any more of these games!
