Jack's art was recently selected (and subsequently sold! Not to his mom!) by his art teacher to be a part of a district wide art show. It was a fancy occasion.
Started the afternoon by getting an updated picture of the boys and their school sign. It's fun to watch the sign shrink each year.
Then it was home for a quick change and then off to Golden! I was so pleased to see how excited his brothers were for Jack to be spot lighted in this way. They were genuinely excited for him.
Ta-Da! This sold for $75!! Jack will be getting a check for $25 in the mail soon for his portion. He's gonna buy a new Lego toy of course. The theme of the Art Show was ethnicity and diversity and it was incredible. Art was featured from students through high school and there was some serious talent going on. So proud to have Jack featured among these young artists in our school district. So fun! He is a really an artistic kiddo with an aesthetic eye according to his art teacher.
Another fun thing about Jack recently is that he is authoring original short stories almost daily. He has a constant stack going on the kitchen table. We are so amused by his creative flare and desire to share his creations with us. Keep it up, Jack!
I got to take Jack on a one on one date the other day too. Of course he picked Barnes and Noble for our destination. He got a new book about The Lego Movie and a minifigure from the movie too. He is so easy to please and such a mama's boy lately which is just fine by me.
I am so enjoying this time of his childhood with Jack, and even though I often embarrass myself getting teary too, I secretly enjoy the fact that it's not uncommon for him to get weepy when I take him to school each morning. This boy loves his home and his Mom! Never stop being the sweet person you are, Jack!! You are special to us beyond any words.
