Seri's First Art Show

Seri entered the art show at our school this year. I'm so proud of her. She worked very hard. Bravo little lady!

Sick day

My boy has an awful cough and runny nose. The doctor thinks it may be the smoke from the fires in the air. Anyway...we were home today. Just the two of us. We snuggled, read books, painted and watched a movie. I'm still in my sweats. Awesome day.

Art Show

Jett had his first 

Preschool ART SHOW 

tonight. 

 Bravo Buddy!

Rainbows

We decided to do some rainbow activities today for St. Patrick's Day and spring.  

It was a beautiful afternoon and the sun was shining in the corner of our little kitchen.

It was beautiful, calm and quiet.   

We tried a cute idea from pinterest.  

They wouldn't stop giggling when I was painting their foot.  So funny.

 They were both ready to be done with Mama's Art School and do their own thing.  

Jett painted a picture of the ocean, of course...

  complete with a turtle, puffer fish, starfish, crab and octopus.  

 Seri made a flower garden with a butterfly that she can't wait to take to school for sharing tomorrow.

Jett was trying to ride Clara this afternoon.  

She bucked him off right after I took this picture.  

"That was AWESOME Mom!"  ~Jett

A dance party and colored ice.

There was a dance party in our living room this afternoon.  Everyone was invited.  

Giraffe.  Frogs.  Dogs. Octopus. The Cats. 

AND I guess Jett thinks you don't wear shirts to dance parties because once the music started his shirt came off.  

Hilarious.

 Clara came but just sat and stared at their craziness.

 Henry didn't even go to the party.  

He was too comfy on the bed.

We tried something new today.  

I put food coloring and water in an ice cube tray, covered them with saran wrap, stuck in sticks and put them in the freezer.  

 

Hours later they were ready.  

They LOVED it.  Once they started melting, we put them back in the freezer to use again.   

Our week. Lots of Pictures. Beware.

This week was busy.  

The kids painted their ornaments they created last week after school one day. 

I love Mod Podge.

Jett is so proud of his Santa.  

It still amazes me.  

We had so much fun finishing it off with glitter.

I'm in love with Jett's snowman and

Seri's tree turned reindeer after she painted it.

Their hand prints turned out adorable.

 I did a lot of Christmas shopping online and the boxes have started to arrive.  

 Jett had his Christmas program this week.  His goal was to participate.  He wasn't too excited.  I don't think our boy is going to be a performer.  He did a great job.  He didn't sing much but he at least stood there quietly.  That is BIG for him.

 I love this picture because he never slows down.

 Today was a day of laundry, play and relaxing.

 I found these sweet little ornaments.  

Jett and Seri were so excited to open them this morning for their advent gift.

 First Christmas without my brown man.  

Miss him still everyday.

 Look who did the laundry without being asked.  BIG PROGRESS!  

 We were so lucky to get a house with a pencil sharpener.  Don't be jealous.  

I left it up.  It makes me laugh, especially how high up it is placed.   

It's actually very handy to have.  

Now that Seri has homework, we use it a lot.   

 The big red pillow BALL is my thrift store find this week.  Love it.

 There was a Santa band performance this afternoon.  Jett on drums (with spoons as drumsticks since he can't find his) and Seri was the singer.

 Santa came to town and we had to visit him.  

Jett asked for 100 books, art stuff and Rudolph.

 Seri asked for a ballerina outfit for 

her and her doll.

 Jett went right to work writing Santa a letter when we got home.  

 I love the holiday season, especially experiencing it through the eyes of my little ones. 

One busy week is done.  

Tomorrow starts another one.  

5 more days until 14 days off.  

Hallelujah.
