Clara's family portrait
Somewhere on this blog I have a photo of a drawing Henry did of the family. His was also in fabric marker, on the clothespin bag. If I locate it I'll make a link to it.

Spontaneous Art Installations and General Mischieviousness
The other day I had the big bag of chocolate chips on the counter. I heard a thud, came into the kitchen and saw this:
Little munchkin.
Yesterday Henry decided to make himself a monster mask.
Clara's answer was to be Scary Shoe Face.
Here they are together...are you scared?
The art installations in our house have grown exponentially since I last reported upon them. You would think with a whole wall devoted to the kids' art, Henry wouldn't need more space to post his work. If you did think that, you'd be wrong.
Here's a little octopus picture posted right on the other side of the bathroom from the art wall.
And a drawing of Henry and Clara with the ceiling fan, on the other side of the art wall.
And another octopus picture by Franklin's food bowl.
And this piece, titled "Monday!" on the window.
Here are a few pieces in our living room.
And one of the favorites so far, this one showed up on the bathroom door one morning.
Here's the door to Henry and Clara's room.
And the door to our room. The orange piece says "Betsy! A! Peter!-S! Room!"
And one last little piece on the side of the bookcase. Franklin has become a sincere art appreciator.

Travelling Art Show
Lately Henry has taken to taping up his art projects wherever he deems appropriate. First there were pieces on the bedroom doors, then the rainbow in this picture showed up, followed soon by the dinosaur and then the "picture in a frame".
Earlier today he asked if I wouldn't like him to make me a project. I said "sure" so he drew this picture of what he and Clara will look like for Halloween and made the lovely red frame for it.
The newest addition showed up just a few minutes ago. In the car tonight Henry took a liking to an Adrian Belew song "Oh Daddy". So he wrote the title up and posted it in the kitchen.
As a child I remember feeling like taping things up on the wall required explicit permission. I kind of love that Henry just takes the initiative to decorate as he sees fit. Of course, now I have to fight the urge to not ever take them down...
