Family Fun Night - Would You Rather...

Playing games with your family is a great way to pass an evening. We try to have a "Family Fun Night" once a week, usually on Friday. It usually involves playing games, going out to dinner or watching a movie. Nothing complicated.

Yesterday, Lewis discovered the game "Would You Rather..." There are lots of versions of this game and it's easy to keep it age appropriate. Lewis decided to make up his own scenarios and present me and Chris a variety of difficult choices to discuss. Most were totally hilarious and presented the unique point of view of a fairly sheltered 8-year-old boy.

I highly suggest trying this. To get you started I'll share some of Lewis' situations.

  1. Would you rather get divorced or struck by lightning?
  2. Would you rather eat lima beans for a year or be a total moron?
  3. Would you rather marry Justin Beaver (yes, that's his spelling) or wear clothes made out of ear wax. (Funny anecdote - Lewis thought Beiber was a made up person that little girls liked, kind of like Hello Kitty)
  4. Would you rather get detention or have no knees?
  5. Would you rather watch Mickey Mouse cartoons or sleep in a metal bed?
  6. Would you rather walk with a bully or get punched in the face?
  7. Would you rather have no fingers or watch Dora the Explorer?
There are more but you get the gist. Anyway, we're planning on playing again over the weekend. This time mom and dad will write some questions, too.

Enjoy!

Artist Profile - Andy Goldsworthy

Are you an avid hiker, naturalist or just like to sit out on in the fresh air? Or do you simply enjoy beautiful sights? Of course, beauty can be found just about anywhere. Because I am lucky to live in a wooded community I am treated to a daily concert of sights and sounds and no day is the same. The Artist Andy Goldsworthy Source: Kidzworld.com As someone who has always enjoyed nature and art I was thrilled to discover the art of Andy Goldsworthy. Although I've known his work since the mid-nineties he never ceases to enchant me. If you don't know who he is, prepare to be amazed. Goldsworthy is a man who enjoys the colors and textures of nature and presents them in a way you likely have never seen before. And, you don't have to be a nature-lover to appreciate his art. Rowan Leaves & Hole Source: Morning-Earth.org Goldsworthy is considered a pre-eminent "Earthworks" artist. This trend in art-making was popularized in the 1980s and 9...

How To Make a Rainbow Leaf Drawing

Do you like to draw or maybe just like the idea of drawing and don't know where to start? Drawing, like any other skill, is learned. And you have to start from somewhere. I find the best place to start is with simple and colorful shapes. The following post will show you step by step how to make a colorful leaf drawing. There is no pressure to be perfect here. This is a small drawing. It's just a matter of you finding a half hour to an hour of time and some very basic materials. You will need a piece of paper, a ruler, a pencil,  eraser, a black pigment marker (I use Faber Castell but a thin Sharpie is fine) and some color pencils. Do not use a ball point pen as it will smear. Do not use crayons as they will also cause the ink to smear. This drawing will fit a 5x7" mat or frame. Draw a box that's just a bit larger than 5x7" on your paper. Using your pencil draw the shape you see on the left. Erase as needed until you like the shape. Draw two li...

How to Decoupage a Picture Frame

So you have a really good sized picture frame and something to put in... but it just looks so plain. What do you do? You could paint it another color. Easy but still plain. Maybe you want a frame that's more unique but you don't want to pay what a custom framer will charge to make that for you. One very simple way to update a frame is to do decoupage. What is decoupage? Decoupage (pronounced   "dey-koo- pahzh") is the art or technique of decorating something with cut-outs of paper, linoleum, plastic, or other flat material over which varnish or lacquer is applied. (Dictionary.com) Remember this guy?   This colorful collage was demo'd last week. Here's a link to the post: http://craftyincobb.blogspot.com/2016/02/crafty-lion-collage-how-to-make-your-own.html Well, I want to frame it but don't it to be flat and plain. I want it to compliment the artwork. Because it's a paper artwork I've decided to co...
