Day Two Hundred Sixty-Eight: Unique Birthday Activities

Months ago, Clay made out a birthday agenda for his big day. It included some items you would expect for a birthday party and a few truly unique items like "Wake up as early as possible," "Building Contest," "Draw a wolf," and "When I go to bed, everyone goes to bed." I can honestly say I have never been to a birthday party where I participated in a wolf drawing contest or a building contest, but it was super fun!

Day Thirty-Three: Self-Portrait

I have never considered myself to be very artistic, particularly in the field of drawing, but everyday Clay insists that I do the drawing with him in art class. And, though the artistic ideas may not be original, I find that I am quite capable of following simple step-by-step instructions, especially when they are accompanied by pictures. (Not to brag or anything!) Several of the projects have been the same ones I did with Ruth, back when she was in first grade. But today we did an entirely new project, which allowed me to create my first self-portrait.
