Garden of Love?

Julia handed me this picture today - a very cheerful, summer drawing. She calls it the "garden of love" for some reason??

Three Amigos

We found this cute drawing in our mailbox the other day. Katie drew this picture for Julia and Ellie. Three friends! It's great to have neighbors with young children.

Spring Flowers

Julia: "I made it with pink and green and I love it so much. Mama...can you put this in a picture frame for me?" Julia did some painting today but most of it was on very large paper which I can't scan. Pity! She soooo enjoys art.

Smells Fishy?

The girls had their weekly games & crafts session at the county park here (a summer program). They enjoyed playing duck, duck goose and making these fine fish!

Ellie: "I like my fishy."

Julia: "My fishy is so special because I can play with it and make a puppet show."

Garden Critters

Mama took us to the new Michael's craft store today and boy did we LOVE that place. We wanted EVERYTHING!! She let us pick up some fun, new crafts that were on the clearance racks...this being one of them. We painted these lovely "garden critters". Papa even painted the middle one for us! Mama says anything to keep us busy...
