Creative Writing

My boys are very creative (in my mama-biased opinion). I think they are fantastic little artists and I can't wait to see where their talents take them. Here's a little sampling of some of the work that is produced at our kitchen table:

Connor - "The Pants Pirates"

"Once there was pants pirates trying to find an island, looking for buried treasure"

"and then they were trying to find some more buried treasure. And then they started swimming with their boat there."

"and then the pants pirates are starting to dig."

"And then the chest popped out of the sand. And then the chest started to mess up the rainbow."

"and then it started messing up the colours of the ocean."

"and then there was a copy of him with banana and orange eyes." (Not too sure where my little guy was going with this train of thought. I think he probably just really wanted to draw fruit in his book)

"Kaboom!" (obligatory explosion)

(pictures of gold exploding from the chest)

"And all the gold flyed out everywhere!"

Alex: "Socks at the Circus"

"Socks at the Circus: A book"

"When the socks go to the circus, they're charging to the line. They don't want to miss the juggling or the sky jumping."

"When the sockkeeper starts talking, everyone is quiet. And then they turn to the plays."

"They see the jumping and splooshing and everyone claps."

"They dive off the board and make a big splash and you suddenly hear claps."

"They go and watch the juggling and they juggle their friends. They juggle socks and underpants and shirts and pants."

"And they see the lion tamer and it is a blast!"

"Then the Master Sock is done the fair; he tells everyone to go."

"And every sock went back to their house and they were all sad. But then the circus opened up next Thursday!"
