Art Class for Kids

Our first weekend in Japan we made our way back to the Kyoto City International Foundation which housed many of the events and clubs we enjoyed back in 2007. They were having a KoKo Kids meeting to do an art project with shrinky dinks.  There were only two families in attendance, so we all got to participate, even the "grown-ups."

Can you guess which project(s) belong to which Rasmussen?

Happy Thanksgiving!

As you can imagine, we have a lot to be thankful for this year. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Xavier's artistic side is developing nicely. He seems to enjoy "painting" a lot. He also enjoys getting covered in paint and trying to eat the paint. Don't worry, Mom - his medium of choice is Crayola non-toxic kids' paint!Abstract Work - Hands and Feet
