Elementary Art Show

By
 Last Saturday, we went to our school district's elementary school art show.  I don't think we would have gone if none of our children had anything in it.  As it was, our school had about 20-25 pieces of art in the show ... if that many ... and TWO of our children had art displayed!


It took us forever to find Andrew's artwork.  We asked him over and over again what it was that he had displayed and he couldn't remember for a while.  And, when he did remember, he said it was thumbprint art.  I was expecting a piece of art completed by using his thumbprints.  Instead, we finally found his artwork displayed with his friend's from his class.  Definitely not the thumbprint art I was expecting ... it was so much better! 


We found Eliza's artwork almost right away.  For some reason her artwork was displayed without her name, and in a section that wasn't remotely close to the rest of the school.  Strange.  Kate and I asked her a couple times if she was sure that it was hers.  She was positive ... and I could tell after looking at it that  it was her work.  She did a great job with her shading, but she was quite critical of the beautiful flowers she drew.  I still think it was very pretty, and when we get it back we have plans to frame it and hang it on the wall.


After we found our children's artwork, we perused everyone else's.  There are some amazingly talented artists in our elementary schools.  These are just a few of what we saw ... I liked these ones the best.


It was so neat to see my children's art on display, and take a picture of them proudly claiming it as theirs. Brought teeny tears to my eyes.  I have such talented children ... I am so grateful I have the opportunity to be their mama.

Very nice! I love Andrews the best!! (Not to say that I don't like Eliza's because I do!) It's just so creative and different! I'm all for out of the ordinary art! Wonderful!! At least your school does art! Evan's just gives them coloring pages and expects it to pass for art. *Sigh* Wonderful! Wonderful!!

Pink Day

By
Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

My Two Teenagers

By
As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
