My kids LOVE to draw and color....let's put it this way....they fight over paper sometimes. Toby gave them these huge drawing pads that have post-it adhesive at the top. They spent all afternoon today drawing and creating and then putting them up on our walls. They popped in a movie.."The Tale of
Desperaux"...and
Mikenna came up with a funny face mouse; and then
Desperaux himself..which turned out really cute. Toby's dad was a commercial artist. He was very talented...he passed away when Toby was entering his teen years. We always tell our kids that grandpa Rasmussen must of spent a lot of time with them in Heaven before they came to live with us...drawing for them; and teaching them how to draw...because they are naturals!!!
Mikenna loves to draw funny animals; and
Jaron loves to draw Sonic and other cartoon related characters.
Brielle loves to color on anything and everything in our home...it's her own personal canvas. She drew smiley faces on all of the days on Toby's desk calendar the other day. I am always finding faces in my planner; checkbook; you name it. She tries to draw in bed when she is supposed to be taking a nap.
Brielle takes her time and stays in the lines pretty well for a three year old. It's fun to see what they come up with. I've created an art folder for each of them since they were little...and have collected drawings throughout the years. They love going back to see what they created. Nothing better than a quiet Sunday afternoon and some giant drawing pads and markers.

This is such a cute post. Your kids really are talented. I love childrens art and these are good. I wish I had thought of that for Sunday afternoons. Our kids had legos and building blocks. They played with them into their late teens and the still think of them as "Sunday toys". What a great little family you have!
