more goodies

 August is shaping up to be a very good month.  Today is National Ice Cream Sandwich Day, Coloring Book Day and Dinosaurs Day.  Not so sure about the dinosaurs but settling down with an ice cream sandwich and a coloring book sounds good to me.  When I was in college, studying to be an art teacher, it was made very clear to us that children should express themselves and not be forced to color in coloring books or on coloring pages.  But I think there is a time and place for everything.  I remember, as a child, finding it very satisfying to color in coloring books, but I also liked to draw my own pictures.  If, as is especially possible this time of year, you have access to blank paper, a really good coloring book (I was partial to Cinderella) and a new box of crayons, hopefully at least 48, life is bliss.
