A budding artist, a passel of pigs & a bun in the oven.

First off: Not my bun, not my oven. SERIOUSLY. But we'll get to that a little later. It's awesome news!

Well, we just finished up with Holly and Grace's Art In The Afternoon classes. I must confess, I'm kinda glad. The classes getting out at different times was kind of a pain for me, but I digress. Holly took art/painting. Aren't her pictures wonderful? That's the friendliest lion I've ever seen, her sun has top oral hygiene skilz, turtles have long been one of my faves, and check out the diving action on that dophin! Yeehaw, Holly! (She threw in the house with pink tree trunks, just for good measure.)


Grace took drama, and her group just completed a production of The Real Story of the Big Bad Wolf. The premise of the story was basically that the wolf got a bum rap and ended up in prison for murdering those piglets. (That's the short version.) And Grace was a cell mate. Even the door jam and paint job contribute to the effect, albeit unintentionally....


Here she is (far right, back row), with her cast mates. Aren't they all cute?
She had a fun time, but I don't know that she'll go for drama again. She says that it's embarrassing to talk in front of all of those people. Although singing a song about a wolf puffing and huffing and snuffing, then sneezing out a booger wasn't too embarrassing at all.... Allie drove down from Birmingham to attend the play with me. Here she is. In the room that looks like the visitation center of a prison. Seriously. It was bizarre.
And that brings us back to the bun. It's Allie's bun and Allie's oven! Our little Allie recently found out that she's going to have a baby. She's very excited and we know that she'll be awesome. She's a wonderful Mommy already and we're so proud of the amazing woman she has become. Congratulations, Freddie! The little bean should make it's appearance sometime in late October or early November. And since Allie can't handle surprises, we should have a pretty good idea of whether it will be of the male or female persuasion well before it shows it's little head.
Next Stop: SPRING BREAK!
