Nature Walk Paintings
I love water color pencils and water brushes, they make for an easy, portable, kid friendly nature walk painting kit.
As usual Iddy Biddy worked slowly and thoughtfully, arranging her nature finds into a pleasing composition before setting to work.
This week she arranged a circle of pebbles around a clump of dandelions. She titled it wild flowers.
Ferdinand as always just plopped himself down and drew the first things he saw and knocked out 2 paintings before his sister was started, giving him plenty of time to just climb around and poke things with sticks. He chose "The Ditch" and "Ugly Weeds".

Transfiguration...
The tones are still undecipherable to this tone deaf family but we have been reading the Troparion for the Feast of the Transfiguration before meals this week.
Firefighters...
The local fireman came to our neighborhood picnic. The kids had a blast.
Ferdinand was especially excited to discover they have "battle axes on their truck mom!"

Back From Camp!
We attended our first Orthodox Family Camp , it was wonderful (except the sleeping on the ground part!) Ferdinand did not want to come home.
