12-12-12 is a once in a lifetime date. We had lots of fun noticing when the number 12 appeared throughout our day (time of day, math answers, etc.). We took a "good" pic and a "crazy" pic.  You can decide which one is which!

Artwork inspired by Vincent Van Gogh

Here are some of the finished products.
