Jake decided he wanted to enter his school's chalk art contest held on Oct. 5th. His theme for the night was the "Ladd Acres Astros". It was really cold outside under that covered play area, but he never once complained. Jake loves to draw, but I think he discovered it's one thing to draw with a pencil and quite another to draw with a thick piece of chalk in a space larger than yourself.
The judges gave one award per grade level. The only other second grader Jake recognized was his friend Jake. His friend is not only in his class at school, but in Primary as well. Turns out the other Jake won! I was proud of MY Jake though, even beyond his art. He handled his loss well. Two great lessons were learned here....how to be a good loser and how to lose to your friend....the latter being the hardest, I think!

What a cool idea for a school to do! So is Jake the next Da Vinci or what?
I am always amazed at his art skills, Bryant doesn't have the least bit of interest in drawing...oh well!
