Using my kid for a blog entry again, because I have no talent of my own

Annie had most of this week off from school, some teacher conference thingy or whatnot. I may have mentioned in the past that she bores kinda easily. She's been pretty good about entertaining herself this time though, she got out the modeling clay and waited for her Halloween muse to strike. The results:


This is the first one she made, we're using it for a table centerpiece. Everyone gets a turn of it staring at them through dinner.

This fine fellow is Fred, Annie's monster minion. She cut up umpty leven pieces of modeling clay, mushed them together and then "stitched" him with a little plastic tool. His googly eyes keep falling off though. And I kinda think he's working the jazz hands, which makes him not so much with the scary.

What is scary though, or not so much scary as gross, is watching the cute little innocent backyard kitten take down a dove. Ewww. I immediately yelled, "Avert your eyes! Nature at work!" so of course everyone had to come running, and opine about the uckiness. George dragged the dove off to parts unknown, and is currently begging for Meow Mix at the door again. Um no, buddy, go eat your dang dove, and clean up after yourself too.
