Last Wednesday Kai came back from Art School with a painting inspired by Van Gough’s Starry Night. He was incredibly proud of it and couldn’t help but beam when he held it up. I’ve thrown in a picture of Nora eating crackers because she is just so cute.
Random Pictures
Here are a few more random pictures that were waiting in the queue. The first couple were taken when Kai came back from art school where they explored mixing colors by mixing different colors of frosting. A pretty cool idea – and then the bonus was that they got to frost cookies and bring them home.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Yesterday at the dinner table Nora started to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. The best I had on hand was my cell phone camera so excuse the poor quality and slightly out of sync audio. Kai also sang Rain Rain Go Away which was cute as well. My favorite part was how she cut him off when he took over the song when she paused for a drink. She is clearly all Diva.

Halloween 2008
Well folks, this doesn’t happen often but here are some pictures posted in a timely manner. Last night we did the Halloween thing over on on Nasariyah street at the Collins house. Word has really spread about this being a trick-or-treating hot spot as we were rummaging for extra treats to give by 6:10PM.  This year we were pretty sure that we had plenty of candy and that we would have to put out bowls at the office the next day just to get rid of it all. However, just an hour into the event our more than 300 pieces were gone!  Below are a few images from the event.
