homework....

Triston had his first "homework" assignment this weekend. It was a family project to decorate a scarecrow. They are learning about scarecrows this month and the kids scarecrows will be entered into a contest with a variety of categories and the winners of each category will receive a prize. I thought that it was perfect that the boys were going to be at Nana and Grandaddy's this weekend! I sent the homework assignment with Triston so that his Nana and him could have something to do together. I really did get off easy but I knew that mom was a lot more creative than I was and they did a great job. She left some of the scarecrow for us to do at home, which was wonderful of her, and we finished it up this evening. It was fun and I am really glad that mom had already started on it with him. Thanks Nana, your the best!!!! Here is the finished project. I think that it turned out pretty cute!

We used a real hankie and cute it up for the tie around his neck and the ribbon around his hat. I cut the fur off of one of their stick horses to use as the feathers for the bird. I used yarn for his smile and blush to give his face some color.

Full body image. Mom and Triston did most of the body, I added the leaf and the hankie.

Triston is very proud of his scarecrow!! Thanks again, Nana! I love you!!
