Head is Spinning

I have not blogged in some weeks, feels like years. I am trying to push my way out of my hole. I have so many things on my mind and plate currently that I go to bed with a headache and wake with one.

Recently I took H.D. to the art supply store. He loves looking at the things there and planning out his creativity. He really wants one of those posable drawing mannequins. The really small desktop versions. It was so cute that how can you say no? Well I did in honor of Christmas.

I did let him get a sketch book, some charcoal pencils, and little smudgers to experiment with. Now there are smudgy and smeared pictures lining the first 5 pages of the book. One of the drawings is a huge building, a skyscraper I think. Below it underground is the devil, and above it in the sky is what looks like a fly. I am told that the fly is God. Interesting...I think that he is exploring perspective *LOL*.

Another drawing is a lighthouse. It was really not too bad.

The Nutcracker, a little scary, but I think it was the teeth that set me off. I have this thing about really gnarly looking teeth and that one had some whoppers.

H.D. has had this obsession with Nutcrackers for ages. He loves them, wants one, and this year his 3rd grade class took a field trip to "The Nutcracker". He loved it.

Well that is all I have time for today. I am watching over my freshman students as they do the prewriting, rough draft of their final essay exam. The mod is almost over and I feel compelled to grade a paper or two in the time remaining.

Peace.

P.S. I was feeling quite cold, and in honor of warmer days a cute pic of my nieces E & E. Enjoy!
