Art show

Wow, my kids entered a bunch of stuff in the Highland City art show, and they were quite pleased at the awards show last night.

Cole ended up with a first place for his origami ball, and third place in mixed media for a drawing.
Megan won a first place for her watercolor of Sudance, first for her drawing of two horses (quite good for a 9 year old, I must say), and 3rd in photography.
Natalie won a second place in sculpture.
Jenna won two third places in watercolor and drawing.

So, they were all pleased with their work, and I’m glad we’re done with art shows for a while.

In an unrelated thought, I am very thankful for my body. I’ll be the first to admit, I wish on an almost daily basis that it were someone else’s body, or even my body, only skinnier and tanner, but isn’t a body an amazing thing? I’m thankful that my body is for the most part healthy, and I wish for health for those who are suffering. I look at my kids and their perfect bodies and am doubly thankful that they can run and jump and draw and do all the things they want. Their mouths work a little too well, but that’s another topic.
