I helped in Elsie's art smart class today.

They learned about George Catlin, and he painted a lot of the Native American Indians.

Each of the kids had one of George Catlin's painting to try and replicate.

Now Elsie is usually an abstract artist......and I absolutely love the way she draws stuff!

So it was a challenge to try and get her to draw a human face :)

But I gave her some guide lines and some step by step instructions......and I just love how it turned out!

They each named their Indians and Elsie chose hers to be the "buffalo Whisperer".

I should have taken a picture of the final product.

But it was awesome!

While I was gone, dad worked outside and fixed some more shingles that were coming off the back of the house.

Madi and I went to the High school track meet to support some of our friends :)

The Schuler girls are awesome to watch run!

And Madi desperately wants to try and get on the team......she says that it's not too late.

I guess we will see.....

Then this evening, Dad and I went on a date.

We just went tot he Ram, as usual.

But it was yummy and fun and a night out.

We also stopped by RC Willey to see if we could find a couch we could both like......because ours are getting pretty worn.

There is a hole in one of the cushions.....I need to try and fix it.

But it is leather....so that is a tough one.

It is just too hard to find something we both like!!!!!!

I need to try and squeeze as much life out of these as I can!!!!
