Lunch Bag Friday... More Halloween! :)

Happy Lunch Bag Friday!!!  :)  A clever monster and allusion to one of the shrinking portraits in Disney’s Haunted Mansion…. only Seth used our daughters instead.  I LOVE THESE!  

Tricky Situations

Happy Lunch Bag Friday!!!

We laughed and laughed over these lunch bags Seth drew for the kids.    I can neither confirm nor deny if these things have ever happened to us. :)    I love the reference of the Haunted Mansion wallpaper in the ghost drawing.  The kids loved bringing these to school.  In fact Makenzie said that along with other kids, her teachers are beginning to look forward to Fridays to see the sacks she will bring and Kendyl has had the lunch room duty hold them in the air for the lunch room to see several times.  It can be hard to move and go to a new school- I’m grateful for these cute presents their dad draws them.  They are great conversation starters for making new friends. :)  Thanks Seth!  Happy October!

A Witch and Her Friend

Here's a witch lunch sack that Seth made last year and her friend.  :)  One of the reason I love Halloween so much is because of the colors.  I took these pictures from my front porch this morning as my girls and I sat out there eating our cereal watching the sunrise turning the purple clouds to gold and burning off the morning fog. 

Lunch Bag Friday: WitchyPoo on a Mop! :0)

Happy Lunch Bag Friday!!!  I always look forward to the "first witch of the season" that Seth draws.   I'm so  amazed with how they never look the same.  I didn't know there were so many different types of witches until I married this guy. :)  

This little Witchy-poo is quite traditional I think.  She's pretty cute.  Kendyl has appropriately named her Esmeralda and is going to make up a little story about her and her feisty kitty when she gets home from school today.  :)  I really love the look of contrast that can be reached on these brown sacks.  The white seems so bright.  I love that moon.  Seth was inspired to create Esmeralda by the animation clip our girls made the same morning as the animation I posted last week of the ghost coming from the fire place.  They actually created this one first.  It's very very brief, but they were excited to discover how to make it look like Kendyl was flying and made about 20 other versions of flying kids. hahaha  This little clip was the first one to jump start a whole new world for them. :)  When I saw it I was so impressed with them that I jumped up and down. hahaha  It's cute to see Penelope in the background eating her oatmeal and watching her sisters be weird.   When she watches this clip now she says, "I don't remember Kendyl flying. I thought she was just jumping, but I guess she was flying really quick when I wasn't looking."  lol  Here is the clip.  You will notice that Kendyl is flying on a mop.  She couldn't find the broom and they were too excited to try out Kenzie's idea of jumping in the air while taking the picture to see if it would look like she was flying.

I like how my kids are inspired by their daddy to create animation like him, who is in turn inspired to make a drawing, which inspires Kendyl to want to write a story, and on and on.  Creativity is a fun, never ending cycle.  Life is art.  Art and beauty and inspiration are all around us.  I don't understand when people get jealous of other's skills instead of being inspired by them or want to surround themselves with it.  It's just a jumping off point for something else fun you could create or in the very least enjoy and find beauty and happiness through.   Well we hope you have a great weekend!  Enjoy those fall leaves and keep your eyes out for any witches on mops. :)
