Madison is the capital and second largest city in Wisconsin. It is named for president James Madison.
Physical: 20 sit-ups
Personal: Paint a picture
Result: This was a fun challenge. I have always liked art and one of my personal heroes was Bob Ross with all his "happy little trees." I was always amazed that he could paint an entire picture in a little under an hour. I told the art teacher at my school about my challenge and asked if I could come paint with one of her classes. She agreed. Now all I had to do was find some inspiration. Inspiration came to me on Thursday, October 4th, when a good friend, surf buddy, and colleague gave birth to her first child. I remember my aunt Rhonda had made me a cool cross-stitch using my name when I was born. So I decided to take that premise and paint a picture with young Kaleigh's name. Since Kaleigh's mom and dad both love the beach and surfing, I used a beach them. The painting has: K= in a sand dollar, a= a bent palm tree, l= surfboard, e= breaking wave, i= a sun burned beach bum, g= nautilus shell, h= Kaleigh's mom watching us surf in her beach chair with her big red hat. After I painted the picture in Mrs. B's art class (which took about 1hr and 30 minutes), I went and bought a frame. Once framed, I took it to the hospital to present to mom and dad. I think they liked it and said they would put it in her room. I must add the note, that it was "Wacky Tacky Day" at our school, so that was funny in itself. I think the nurses at the hospital thought I had escaped from the mental ward.
I'm impressed! ;-)
