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. :)
