ARTIC

The blog title does not refer to our winter air; today actually wasn't too bad. To the uninitiated, ARTIC is the acronym for the Art Institute of Chicago. Charlie, Juliet and Alice and I took advantage of a day without school and went down for a little fun and art.

Both girls came armed with notepads and pencils for sketching. Here, they were inspired by Van Gogh's The Bedroom.

I told them to look like they were in Winslow Homer's American Gothic, thus the cranky faces.

Chris tasked Charlie with finding this painting -- Degas' The Star -- and posing in front of it.

And, finally, does anyone know where we submit our entry for World's Cutest Baby? Because we have it in the bag.



The baby's sister is pretty damn cute too.
