Recycled Art Project

For the second year in a row, Patrick and Finn entered the school's Recycled Art Contest.

The boys collected tons of recycling; from our bin, from the neighborhood and even from friends who dropped off exactly what they needed.

For two weeks, the boys designed and assembled all their pieces 

with no help from mom and dad (except for use of the box cutter!)

Every afternoon after school, the boys would take turns painting pieces of their art.

Even Sully got in on the action!

Using my laptop, Patrick created the master list of all the materials used in their project.

And, after 14 days of hard work, their masterpiece was complete -

LEGO MOVIE Recycled Art!

The blocks on the back of the project said "Recycling is AWESOME" 

(a play on the Lego movie theme song - "Everything is Awesome)

Patrick and Finn did an amazing job - we were so proud of them, and they were proud of themselves.  I won't lie, the boys were disappointed that they did not win this year.  But, they got much praise from their teachers and peers who enjoyed their art.  And, by the following day, they were already planning next year's project.

Great job Finn and Patrick - we think you are AWESOME!
