Artwork by Ben

Today's featured artwork is from my middle boy, third child, Benjamin. A marker drawing of a Pokemon, not sure of the name right now, a pencil and marker landscape, and one from Halloween: Frankenstein. The kids have been working on Pokemon at school during art class, they love it!

Things have been pretty quiet around here. Rob had to go to California for a service call. I know, awwwww poor guy. I'm jealous, this is the trip I really would have liked to tag along on. The company must have really been desperate to fly him out there last minute before a major holiday and pay big $ for airline tickets.

Alex has been driving to school so she can get herself home after play rehearsals or go right to work when she needs to. Fox rides in with her so I don't have to go down the driveway for the 7am bus stop run. It's a little unnerving letting her drive them in, especially when the weather is nasty. Praise the Lord they are blessed and protected wherever they go. I do the the bus stop run with Ben and Ethan at 8am, get them on the bus then have moment of quiet to do my Namasta Yoga then some coffee and work on the computer or around the house. I'm thankful I don't really have to go anywhere this week because there is almost no gas in the van and I won't be able to put more in until I get Rob's check on Friday.
