I had a great morning with Owen! I surprised him with a trip to Art in the Vine to paint BB8, then to Steak and Shake for lunch afterwards. He was so excited to get started with tracing and painting, and the end product turned out awesome!! Owen said 'this is my biggest, and probably my best, painting ever!' And he wants to take it to Faith for Show and Tell this week because he's so proud of his work : ) At lunch, he ordered his first footlong and ate the whole thing! I love getting to spend one-on-one time with the boys and wish it could happen more often!

Garrett was a little jealous that Owen got to paint BB8, so, not to be outdone, he hand-drew and painted his own. It turned out great! Eli painted a giant squid fighting a sperm whale and Dylan painted a panda bear (mostly on his own). I LOVE that these boys love art!!

What a great and busy day!! It started with a field trip to the Nutcracker at Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, then we went to Salsa Limon for lunch (delicious! The Asada El Capitan was unbelievable!). From there we went to Sweet Sammie's and the Water Gardens, then came home for a quick break before heading to Grapevine. After that, a night of Qwirkle and watching the first night of the Hunger Games trilogy. Love having visitors!!

This is one of the reasons I LOVE homeschooling! Getting together with other homeschooling mamas and their kids to do fun and educational field trips when everyone else is in school! The Arboretum was so cool - and none of us had been there before so all the kids were equally interested in exploring and discovering all that there was to do. There was a solar system section (science: check!), a weather section, lots about tanagrams and shapes in nature, a section on rocks and water and an edible garden. We didn't even get to the 'adult' section of the arboretum with all the flowers because we were having so much fun in the kid's section. What a cool place!
