an artist at work

sometimes, jaden gets so engrossed in his drawing, that in just a few minutes - he's totally surrounded by his work (with a friendly dragon keeping watchful eye, of course)

i've learned, that in order to keep enough paper in the house for all the kiddos to draw on (well, cause jaden isn't the ONLY artist in the house!), i must bring home scrap paper from the recycling box at work - or go broke & kill a bunch more trees

his pile above, literally formed in about 15 minutes


obviously, (besides dragons - which will always be jaden's 1st love) he's really into robots & aliens these days


i'm trying to figure out how to keep our favs (to make a book or something out of them eventually?) and get rid of a bunch.....but it's so hard to pick favorites, and jaden gets VERY upset if he finds out you're planning on throwing any of his art away


for now, i just keep filling up the big box in the attic & tossing what i can part with - when jaden's not looking ;0)

i also wanted to share this cute lil story with you...as told to me (by jaden) last night

gabrielle & corinn wanted to be superheroes like their brother - so gabby put a bag on her head & corinn put a pot on her's.....then, they sprayed their "alien juice" at jaden


jaden whipped out his "super blaster" and showed the girls what a real superhero does!


and he blew them away!
