Art Class

Today was not only an Art Class...but a tasting class, too. We made a marshmallow "sculpture"....lucky enough for me, there were a few extra marshmallows that weren't needed for my masterpiece so I was able to enjoy them for a pre-lunch snack.

The picture on the upper right is a "yarn sculpture" made of, you guessed it, yarn...and a glue-concoction. The glue on my hands was slimy and gross, but that I did not mind as much as the yarn not dismounting from my hands when I was (clearly) telling it to "get off"! Thankfully, there was a large bucket of water where I could show of my thorough hand-washing skills.

You'll see three hand-prints on the paper in the bottom-left picture. No...I didn't grow a hand. My mom thought one more hand may just make the picture exquisite....what do you think? We were to craft snowman out of each finger. Clearly...you can see my fine motor skills are not up to par with my mom's, but I'm working on it!

Go Go Football!

Before getting upset...this is NOT our Steeler's helmet.....it is a friend of ours...yes a dear friend who has been steered in the wrong football direction. In any case, I love football, and my buddy Danny let me try his football helmet on- cool, isn't it? It goes well with the matching yellow snow-plow jammies, too! Just in case you're not sure of where I stand with football teams-
GO E-A-G-L-E-S!

Art Class


Today was our second day of art class. It is a lot of fun, and really stretching me as a budding artist! Today we made a mitten (seen here), hand print snowmen, and a yarn sculpture (to be posted next week after it dries). Our first week we "free" painted...here's what you get from a 2 year old who isn't too much into painting. We're looking forward to the coming weeks to see what art class has in store for us.

BIG Smile!

So for 25 months now we've been trying to get Bradley to smile on cue. He smiles all the time...just not for the camera! He caught a glimpse of himself with a big cheesey grin while looking in the bathroom mirror-and I said "WOW-Look at that big smile!!" Now...whenever I say to him "Show me your big smile..." This is what I get!

Cool Poncho

My Aunt Sandy made this super cool carseat poncho for me to wear instead of being stuck in my carseat wearing my puffy, restricting coat. It has dragons, knights, and castles on it, with a totally awesome spike-adorned hood! Thanks Aunt Sandy!

Legos

Anson and Bradley had a great time building...and rebuilding a lego tower that reached our ceiling!
