Caleb's Masterpieces - Fall/Winter 2011

Now that Caleb goes regularly to MDO (twice a week), he brings home plenty of adorable artwork for Daddy and Mama to enjoy! He also brings some home from Sunday school, so between those two we have quite the little art collection. I plan on getting a notebook and plastic page protectors and starting a little book of his masterpieces. I will cherish these forever! 

Oh, and there are a lot of pictures here.  With the exception of a few that he shredded to bits before I could save them, this is everything he's brought home this semester (from end of August until now).

This was the first thing he brought home from MDO at the end of August.  "My New Friends"  How sweet!



Umm, not sure what this is!






Not exactly sure about this one either....I'm thinking maybe a nose?  a runny nose?  (for Jesus healing sick people)  Any guesses?!  :-)



This is from when they did some things with apples at MDO...



Now I know Caleb inherited his Dad's "full" lips, but the person at church who drew this got a little carried away, LOL.  This one is on the side of our fridge and when Caleb sees it, he yells "blue eyes!" so I guess they talked about eye color when they did this?



Caleb works in many mediums, including chalk!



a fall leaf...



more chalk drawing (hard to see)




Hard to read, but it says "The Bible is from God" underneath Caleb's lovely brown coloring...




Whoever helped him with this gets a gold star for getting him to actually cooperate!  These are the best handprints of his that I have ever seen!



He made this Noah's Ark at MDO.  The tan colored spots on the ark WERE the animals.  They used animal crackers, so I think you know what happened to Noah's poor animals.  The teacher just laughed when she told me that Caleb didn't let them stay on the ark for too long.  What do you expect with a 2 year old and animal crackers?!



And this is his "countdown to Christmas" tree from MDO.  He gets to eat one every day this month up until Christmas.  He NEVER forgets to ask for one either!  He just calls them "kissmas!"  (not meaning to even though they are Hershey's Kisses....he just mis-pronounces Christmas!)



goodie bag from MDO.  Didn't he do a good job decorating the tree?



the Bethlehem star




isn't his ornament from MDO adorable?




sweet thumbprint wreath on the back....




Ok, this one is my absolute favorite so I wanted to save it for last.  Every time I see this one, I just crack up because it is perfectly Caleb!  (you will soon see...)




Can you guess why this just has "Caleb" written all over it??



Because Caleb is all about DESTRUCTION these days!!  I mean, you put something in that boys hands and he will find a way to break it, rip it, tear it, shred it....destroy it!!  I can just see his teacher giving him these foam stickers to put nicely into his "Read to Me Bible" and the first thing he does is rip them to pieces!  I cannot stop laughing when I see this!



I don't remember dinosaurs in the Bible, but even he was not spared!




This poor purple guy didn't stand a chance.  Also, take note of the blue dinosaur head.  If you notice, he only tore up the things with heads and limbs....he left the flowers and the ichthus in tact.  Oh wait, he did spare the caterpillar!  I would hate to see a psychologist get ahold of this.



And last but not least, a little artwork at home.....on the wall............

(a little hard to see, but that's blue crayon)



and chair......



I was a little lazy and didn't clean it off for a few days, so every time he walked by the wall or chair, he would point at it and say "Caleb do dat!"  LOL
