some leaf art collages we made a week or two ago. the kids loved it and it kept them busy for upwards of an hour! amazing! alexander's is the blue, mine is green, and of course, hadley's is pink! 
the artists with their works. click to enlarge, their faces are really cute in this picture. i think they were looking at their daddy, who had his "ticket" (a leaf) to see their art in the "gallery". they thought it was so much fun to hang them in the gallery and for us to come see them. it's time to rotate them out now, though. the leaves are all crinkly and not so pretty anymore.
alexander was inspired one evening while i was cooking dinner. this totally reminds me of a documentary we watched about an artist who works completely with items found in nature...it was amazing, but the name of the artist and the documentary escape me right now. anybody know? i highly recommend it...it's incredible!
the face is priceless here too! he's on his way out for more leaves!
the artist at work...he was so sad when dinner was ready, because he wanted it to go all the way to the dining table by the time i had it ready. unfortunately, he only made it about to the far end of the couch. i didn't have the heart to clean it up. alan did it after the kids were in bed.
hopefully i will be updating more frequently now, and for anyone interested, i am posting all my crochet work at DaisyChain, so as not to bore everyone! Lindsey -- I would love a picture of the carseat blanket i made for you. forgot to snap one. you can sort of see it in the leaf trail photo of xander by the door. i will be selling crocheted items at a store near you soon! literally, in provo! i am making a few clutch bags for beccy's new boutique. more details when i have them, or maybe Lori can fill us in!

you know i saw this documentary too, i brought ross with me to the theatre to watch it and of course he fell asleep! but it's really great. i forget his name tho. LOL.
My favorite thing about today's update is the "leaf" that Alan used as a ticket to get into the "hadlexander" museum of art. I think we are going to have to try that at home sometime soon. My oldest would go crazy and love that!! He still says he is going to be an artist when he grows up.
