Snow bunny or artist? You decide!

Charlie Jo was helping me excavate the bin we use to store our winter accessories (like mittens and hats) and she pulled out Corey's old (and I do mean OLD) ski goggles that he hadn't worn in a good decade.  In my quest to put my children in as many goofy situations as possible (AND take pictures of it so they can curse me later), I couldn't pass up a chance to document this discovery.  She thought it was hilarious and wore the goggles happily for a few minutes before abandoning them for some other more interesting item.



Second random shot -- a Charlie Jo original.  For some reason, she is usually not interested in drawing anything but scribbles.  She is always demanding that I draw something or other for her (perhaps indicating she has a future in arts patronage?) instead of attempting to draw it herself.  When I found her drawing this little dude the other day, I was both tickled and surprised.  She evaded answering any questions about the artistic process or end product, but she did seem pleased that I hung him on the fridge.

I think Charbunkle totally looks like she's ready to hit the slopes (or, perhaps the ski lodge for some hot chocolate)! And that drawing makes me so happy.... It looks exactly like drawings that we used to do when we were little. I love when the head IS the body....

Um . . . what kind of magazines do you have sitting around the house? I think CJ may have found your stash . . . but at least it's happy. :)
