Busy minds

We did more of our standardized tests today, so when math was finally over (whew!) I let the kids do whatever they wanted to fill the time.

Little Guy and Snuggler spent a long time making a paper farm. (I love the mini-cow, but an a little leery of that large green critter...)

Then Little Guy chose to turn fruit into creatures. 

Then he spent a while doing some perspective drawing, using the every-child-should-own-this Mark Kistler's Draw Squad as his guide.

There were also some books read, some marble-run making, and an extended session on scooters in the schoolyard across the street. And I'm happy to report that I got an article written while all that was happening.
