Fine Art about the house...Part 2

Raven: Firstly this picture directly below is one Raven brought into me just now, demanding to show me "ME"! So, this is Raven's first attempt at a person (himself) and was so excited as he knew it was himself!


Raven's Dora - he made this picture online by himself, printed it by himself and drew all over it by himself!
Raven's bug? and beyond...

Kai's The rocket stops, or before translation The Wokcit Stops. Pretty good attempt at spelling for a preschooler!

Caterpillar drawn by both Kai and Raven:

Above is an Army scene by Kai, and the following two pictures are Kai's symbol and Dante's butterfly done by the spray art kit.

Above is another collaborative effort between Kai and Raven. Dinosaur!

Below is Dante's Rambuctious Reptiles followed by Boat and Fish.

A cute scene by Kai above and LLL From Kai or Love from Kai to his Poppy (who was rushed to hospital with an infection this week).

The following are all Labyrinths. She made a "DVD of the Bratz", which shes drawn, folded and cut out the "disc".

Above is Princess Bannana Peel, and below is Wolfie (our cat). Further below is a butterfly colour in she did at the local library.

Below is her birthday card she made to her little brother Raven.




I'm not sure about this scene, but it gives me the creeps a bit. Like some old war movie with barbed wire scratching about in the wind with once happy places like a cathedral, the buildings in the background old euro style... what do you think?

Above Labyrinth decided to go freestyle with the spray art... YAY... and made a Raven.
Above is "An ant was in an ant hill and bee was in a hive." Cute! And below is her card to her Poppy.


Above is The Vampire with whom she shares a passionate interest with, as do I and Andrew.

As for studies this last week, excepting for Thursday onwards as that is when I seriously come down with my affliction... now becoming better but hell do I hurt/ache in the chest/stomach regions. Master Reader by Hooked on Phonics arrived in the mail. They are very excited now to all rush through so they can start on the meatier reading. I don't mind at all about that! Raven is still learning colours and shapes... we brought some new books to encourage this. He knows his ABCs and numbers though. Monika is speaking quite a few words now, walking around furniture and standing on her own. Definately do more here next week, I'm on the mend, all looking up, Q!

Today from the Trenches...

Raven's worksheet:


Labyrinth is coming along with knowing her grammar!

Kai's alphabet dot to dot of a plane:

Raven's cute drawing:


Dante's Sea Monkeys on Mars, inspired of course, by the Sea Monkeys themselves:

Now these are very precious. I read to them The Dangerous Alphabet by Neil Gaiman, which I brought and got signed last night at A Night With Neil Gaiman, which deserves it's own post but later. When the children came home from a night at Nan and Pop's house (in which they surprised and impressed their dinner guests by their politeness and appetites!) they wanted to see what we'd done the night before and seen the signed books and of course have me read to them their new book. I was happy to oblige of course! These pictures are inspired by the book:

D is for Ducks and Dante:

K is for Kai: (with kites and kanoes)


L is for Labyrinth who loves lollies (which are yummy) and lions:

They've been busily working on a collaborative book inspired by Mem Fox's Time for bed. So today was about worksheets and battles. I read to them from Dr Suess before bed Fox in Sox. Dante read aloud to the others by choice Mem's book, and earlier Labyrinth did a spelling lesson with absolute ease! YAY! By George I think she's got it! When they've finished the book I'll give it a special post. Time for bed for me, maybe, Q.
