Scripture Stories

Max's final product.  I think it turned out SO great.  It is the 3 days of darkness right before Christ came to the America's.  He described every detail to me.  Lightning, rain, wind, houses on fire, weapons, no candles would light...  Everything is great.  He said everything was from the scriptures, except for the alien ship in the box, he was just trying to show Rich that he can also draw alien ships.  That made me smile.

Sophie is becoming the greatest artist.  It is Nephi and his family in a tent in the wilderness.  It is so great.

Peter loves the story of Samuel the Lamanite standing on the wall when the arrows were flying past him and they couldn't touch him.

Here is Max's first attempt at his drawing.  I thought it was pretty good, but in his mind it was unacceptable. And he crumpled it up and ripped it.  And was crying alligator tears.  It was so sad.  Even Grandpa tried to calm him down.  But Max wanted to draw the perfect picture for Rich...  he thought it would make Rich love him more.  And he thought that Rich hadn't called him for a few days  and that meant that he didn't love him anymore.  It was the saddest thing.  Max had been so busy playing and what not when Rich called that I let him and didn't think he'd mind not talking to Rich every day.  I had no idea it meant so much for Max to talk to Rich every single day.  He is always just making faces and goofing off every time he sits in front of the ipad. Now I know.

Gavin didn't know what to draw.  We kept saying stories, but he didn't think he could actually draw them.  Then Sophie mentioned when Nephi broke his bow.  She showed him how to draw an arrow and he was hooked.  I don't think he actually drew any people or animals from the story, but he did draw bows!!!

Tonight the kids had to draw pictures of their favorite Book of Mormon story.  I think they all did a good job!
