A Potpourri of Christmas Pictures

December 17, 2010 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Minnesota Me, Original Art 3 Comments

[Inspired by this Gingerbread Man Art Project]

By Angela, age 6:

“Ginger”

Ginger

Ginger likes the friendly robins who do not eat her.
She does not like the blackbirds.
They try to eat her.
She just shoos them away.

By Felicity, age 8:

“Guppy”

Guppy

By Cate, age 10:

“Ty”

Ty

“I trademark that hat!” Cate is greatly averse to copying.

“You can’t trademark a Santa hat!” her siblings protested.

“Too late” Cate smiled. “I already did.”

And by Jem, (the token male), age 11:

“Thorn”

Thorn

Please note that his gingerbread man has a switchblade and a six-pack.

(“That’s an eight-pack,” Jem corrected.)

Happy Friday of the Third Week of Advent! Please note that I am blogging instead of…oh…getting all the shopping done.

    Alright, the boy art just cracks me up! With only one girl amidst all the boy-ness over here, we don't get ART as often as she or I would like. One coloring page every month (or two or three) is enough for my boys. They just see things from a different perspective … fun to see it in your posts!

    I love these pics. My oldest son would have done the same thing to the Ginger Bread man…..maybe even have added a gun. LOL

    I laughed so hard when I saw the switchblade and the 8-pack that I made my husband come and look at the whole post.

    Oh those are treasures, those pictures. 🙂 And the dialogue that goes along with it? Even more precious!

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
