When she was in first grade Isabella's art class at school was studying the work of the artist Grant Wood (of American Gothic fame).
The art teacher told the children that they were going to draw their own picture in the Grant Wood 'style'. Isabella was *very* excited about this project, and was even MORE excited when her picture was chosen to hang up in the main hallway of the school.
I went up to the school at the first ooportunity to see her picture. Amid the pictures of 'Grant Wood' dogs and cats and people, Isabella had chosen to draw Grant Wood Vampires.
Complete with blood dripping from the teeth and "crazy eyes".
Someday, I'm going to have the picture framed because it is just too good NOT to frame! For now, it's my Facebook profile pic, and it makes me smile everytime I see it.

That is awesome! I love it! She did a wonderful job of capturing the whole Grant Wood gothic style.
I love the picture! I agree it needs to be framed:) I'm sorry to hear that you have been sick! I hope that you are back to your old chipper self ASAP. Just wanted to say that you read more books than I could ever imagine! I love the good reads updates, I'm sure that there are more to come with all of your couch time:)
I hope Bella can always march to her own drum, like her Uncle Jed. They make me laugh and that keeps me sane.
