| Our koinobori. I did not tell Olivia that this is a boy-thing. We can just pretend her's represents Thomas. I just was too lazy to do more than one art project. |

| PB&J "sushi" that I found on Pinterest. They scarfed it down, but John said he likes the regular California roll better. |
Mira picked up an Origami kit at a local used curriculum sale and we were all excited to try it out. "Really Hard" is a pretty accurate description. Luckily Howard was able to whip out a few animals for us. But boy- did it give me a new sense of respect for that particular art form.
