Bob Ross

Last week I was sitting out on the deck with Grace and George when Skip came out to say hello during week. He mentioned that he needed to dress up as Bob Ross for a conference call in about two hours. Out of the various wigs we have accumulated over the years, we do do not have anything in the brown, curly variety.  

Lauren's curiosity was peaked when she saw me going through our craft supplies. I was thinking that we could just make the props out of construction paper and hope for the best. Fortunately for me, Lauren was up for the challenge and helped out with all props. We made the hair and taped it to one of Grace's headbands, and we made a pic to prop on a tabletop easel. Basically, we just needed a few sheets of paper, tape and crayons to transform Skip into Bob Ross. 

During the project, Lauren asked, "How long has dad known he needed to do this?" 

They might have been asked that very question a thousand or so times when working on a project for school.

Special thanks to Lauren for heading up props.

Here is Skip in character:
