Challenge 7- Vocabulary

I like new words.  I like using different words instead or the ordinary one because well I am not ordinary. So for this challenge I decided to take normal words that I usually use and look up different words for them and choose one to use that day.  Now some days I was home when I used to them so I wrote down my sentence and other days I was out and in a rush and quite frankly now that I am playing catch up I can't remember shit.  So I am going to list the "ordinary" word and next to it I am putting the word that I used for that day.  This was a really fun and simple one.  I liked some of the faces the boys gave to me when I used a word to them.  I think it also encourages them to expand their vocabulary and learn different ways to say one word.

Challenge 6! PAINTING

I am not a painter.  I will just go ahead and say it.  I can paint walls pretty good though.  I enjoy painting pictures, but larger scale pictures.  I am not one for realistic painting or painting people.  Not so good.  So for this challenge I decided to paint a picture in 30 days.  1 picture adding something to it for 30 days.  Now when you look at the picture you are going to think "Really?  This is it?"  Yeah it is, because I can't paint.  I would paint something then I totally messed it up and had to cover it with blue or green paint and start over, or I had to wait till it dried and try to fix it.  Like I said I am not a realistic painter.  I am pretty proud though of my shading techniques.  I love mixing colors together.  Maybe I should just start painting backdrops for other painters?  Nah!  So here is my painting in 30 days, the little girl took me the longest..I hate painting pictures.  I call this Painting "I Wish".  Why?  There are many different reasons why I named it that, but I am keeping them to myself. :)

Enjoy!!
