9/11 Literature project


So we got Kayden's literature project done, and I think it looks really cool. Kayden was supposed to take an event from American History and make some kind of a representation (I have no idea why he's doing this in Literature class... instead of history). He decided to do 9/11. We started with the idea that we wanted to make the WTC buildings white, and then the idea changed to making the WTC buildings look like they were angels in heaven, so the buildings have halos and angel wings, and Kayden covered the base with batting to look like clouds.

Rik and the older kids are snow boarding at Kelly Canyon today, then they are coming home and everyone is going swimming. Fun day!

McKay woke up this morning not feeling too good (also could be read: really grouchy!) But he's perked up a little this afternoon.
