Drawing Out Your ThoughtsEver find yourself doodling in the
margins of your paper? Experts saythat what you are drawing can revealyour feelings—even subconsciousones. A look at what you and yourfriends are sketching may reveal morethan meets the eye.
Hearts. Unsurprisingly, heartssuggest romance on the brain. Writingnames over and over signifiesobsession.
Scratches. Random scratches andscribbles signal that the artist lacksdirection.
Cubes. Handwriting analysis expert
Andrea McNichol says cubes are themost commonly drawn item aroundthe world. Cubes suggest feelings ofconstructiveness and looking at allsides of an issue.
Houses. A common doodle,houses’ adornments often imply asmuch as the structures themselves. Ahouse suggests the doodler is lookingfor a strong emotional center.However, if the house is missingwindows or doors, the person mayfeel trapped.
Transportation. Doodling any formof transportation—such as cars,planes, boats or even horses—indicates that the person wishes toescape wherever they are.
Stick figures. If they lack hands orfeet, stick figures could be a sign thatthe doodler feels aimless.
Flowers. Perky petals indicate agentle, sociable nature. Droopyblossoms may signal worry.
Do We Do It Again?We had our first ever outdoor
movie here at RFH. Blanket TopTheater came out with their 12 footinflatable screen and other necessaryequipment to show the movie andmake it a fun experience for everyone.Families brought their blankets andsat out on the lawn, some childrenwere even in PJs. We showed themovie Zookeeper. Along with that, wehad popcorn, movie sized box candy,juice, water, sodas and glownecklaces for the children.
We’d like to know if you’reinterested in doing this again. If so,please call the office or let us know onFacebook. Looking forward to hearingfrom you.

Baggies are ready and waiting for the children.
Holiday Arts & CraftsFor this event, we prepared all the
makings for each ornament inadvance and placed them in baggies.Each child was given three baggies,one for each ornament. One held theitems to make a small snowman withearmuffs. Another one had the itemsto make a three pom pom snowmenwith a hat and scarf and the lastbaggie held what was needed to makeRudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.There was some serious painting andgluing going on for about an hour anda half. I think we had as much funwatching the children make theirspecial ornaments as they did makingthem.
