Cupid, Draw Back Your Bow...

So, Thursdays include Art in our homeschool schedule, and naturally the boys decided to make valentines in honor of the day.  I'm busily checking over their math work, and Seth asks, "do we have any white paper?"

"Sure, look on the shelf."

He finds it and starts applying scissors.  "Do you know what I'm going to do with it?" he asks slyly.

"White valentines?  That will be pretty," I murmur absently, then Gabriel and I settle in for a round of American history.  Oh, Columbus, you magnificent nutjob.

Midway through the lesson, Cupid struck:


Seth made wings and attached them all by himself.


I just about died.  That kid.


It kind of looks like Cupid has been into the Magic Dust.

So, Happy Valentine's Day!

In other news, Rick scored these yesterday:


We're all big Gaelic Storm fans, and I can't believe they're coming to teeny-tiny DeKalb!  I look forward to checking out the historic Egyptian Theatre while we're rocking out.  It'll be the boys' first concert, and we're all very excited.
