Craft Time 2011

Just a few of the projects we've done the last few weeks. Marlee and Cooper love to paint and do any kind of art. (Oh and I enjoy art too, if you can't tell. )

The Love Affair Continues

Marlee's love for all thing Horse continues to grow. She still plays with her horses and my little ponies. She bought a truck and trailer for her horses and loves drawing horse families.


She came downstairs one night, when she should have been sleeping to show this to me and Chad. It's me petting a horse. She drew it on the Leapster 2 she got for her birthday.

The Heat

The heat over the past few weeks has been killer. The kids and I have tried to play outside in the shade before 9am and still end up with sweat beading down our faces. So indoor play has been the majority of our days lately. Not a good combination with two energetic kids. There have been several time-outs, early bed times, and a frustrated momma.

Thankfully, preschool starts back up in a few weeks. I know the kids are looking forward to seeing their friends and being back into the routine we had established. Thank goodness for our playgroup, too for saving my sanity these last few weeks. I am so glad that Amanda invited us that second week we were here. It has been wonderful for us. The kids have made several friends and so have I.

CHEESE!

I couldn't get the camera quick enough to see the cute doctor play with my grandmother's old stethoscopes.

Shut -In in the toy room so mom could have a few minutes. Notice the "cleaning job" Cooper did on the windows? Nothing like a little spit to make a window shine!

Food coloring art. Super messy. Don't try it.



Teaching Coop all about her new favorite thing: Zoodles.

Raw Talent

Marlee has some serious raw talent when it comes to art. I have not taught her anything other than colors and shape names. I haven't worked with her on form or any of the technical art techniques out there. I really hope she continues with this love and her skill improves with age.


She painted this picture the other day. Flowers, grass, water, sun, and balloons floating in the sky. I just sat and watched.


She had her giraffe as inspiration. She didn't trace it but used it as a guide. She signed her name like any great artist.
