Sidewalk Art etc...


So,...here you can see the child that "hates" dance. With the new school year having officially started, some of our kids are doing new activities. Lukas has started "Showstompers" at Sheena's Dance Academy. I take him on Tuesdays and Thursdays, drop him off with Ms. Karissa and Ms. Dawn with whom he gets to spend 2 1/2 hours in the mornings on those days. They don't only teach him dance (tap and ballet), but also a little bit of tumbling, they do story time, arts and crafts and, most importantly SNACK time with the kids. Lukas likes both teachers and this time he is NOT the only boy in class! So far he has been very proud of what he has learned and of his stickers.
Lennon is disappointed that he can't go with Lukas. He's still too young and not potty trained.


Here Lukas is showing off some of the moves he has learned. Katharine has started her FIFTH year of dance. This year she is taking advanced ballet, tap and she added on musical theater. That class should be right up her alley!

I took the kids out last night to wait for Erik to come back home from work. We took our big and brand new bucket of sidewalk chalk with us and promptly set to work:

Lukas told me that this was a drawing of the Teen Titans.

Katharine drew a mountain landscape with a sunset in the background.

Keira pretty much stuck to eating the chalk.

I drew some mountains, too, but Lukas decided to add on a greenish blueish sky-he colored two-handed and put a lot of effort into it.

Erik and the boys worked on a shark, in Lukas' favorite color scheme of the night.

Still using the same blue and green.

Between eating chalk, Keira ventured off into the garage.

Katharine also drew two dragons.


And yes, his hands, feet and jamies were blue and green, too. Everybody was lucky and got to hop in the tub a second time. Hooray for baths!


I don't have a clue what the conversation was about, but it looks important.
