A Little Creator

Reid is such a creator! I took the kids to the local kids museum yesterday and he was making something every chance he could: paintings, spiders, balloon people, and legos.

We found his friend Millie while we were there!

 Even for the car ride up, he packed a clipboard, construction paper, a pencil, tape and scissors. He created some snowflakes for his sisters and then made a scorpion out of the scraps. Seriously, it's a 20 minute drive ... but he needed to keep busy by creating!

He's been creating masterpieces in art class as well. For weeks he kept telling me about his paper mache scorpion. He also started talking about shrinki-dinks. I could tell he really loved both projects. And a couple weeks ago we learned his shrinki-dink butterfly was going to be spotlighted in a district wide art show at the masonic temple. Our whole family was so excited to go support him in this honor. Well, Nell's excitement wore off pretty quick when she saw a couple of her friends (Elsie and Addy) and her brother getting all the spotlight. Man, life is hard when you're six. Hopefully she works hard enough to be spotlighted soon as well!
