Jack the artist

Jack the Great (in a nod to one of his favorite literary characters, Nate the Great) recently reached a new milestone. It occurred to him that he can draw the world around him. The inspiration for this new obsession was the movie "Flipper," which Bob found on TV one day and let him watch. It was literally one day squiggles and swirls and the next, life via Crayola. Our refrigerator is now covered in artwork and I'm running out of printer paper. Without further ado, here is Jack's recent artwork:








This is Flipper in the water with the trash that the bad guys threw into the ocean.

The family, L-R, Ellie, Mommy, Small, Jack, Daddy and the round ball at the bottom is Jimmy the dog.



Our house.



Jack's best attempt at writing his name. This is signature on his best artwork, his name and a traced hand print. I traced this one, but he has since figured out how to do it himself.

I love the artwork, and I too, scan them in for safekeeping. They start taking over the house, so I put the originals in a binder for K to peruse her collection. It is so fun and enjoyable. These times are so great. You are such a great writer, Mandy, you crack me up with the box cutters!!! SOOO true!!!
