Fashion Designer in the family?

This has been a very good homeschool week. The kids have been cooperative and we've all been able to get a lot accomplished! Joshua is keeping up with his work so well that I've added two new subjects to his curriculum. He will now be learning Spanish (something we've tried to do several times over the years!) and is working through a workbook called "Man on Demand!"

Celeste has shown some amazing talent this week (and has given me another reason to take pictures!). When I was watching Project Runway one night (yes, I watch PR) she sat and watched it with me and ended up sketching her first outfits! Check this out:

After the Project Runway fun, our subject in school the next day was Art. We had been reading the book "Lentil" about a little boy who plays the harmonica and saves the day. During our art lesson we learned about using charcoal and how it can be used to make shadows on photos. Celeste used the profile of Lentil on one of the books' pages and drew this picture:

And, no, that isn't a booger...it's shading (the pic in the book had it, too!).
