Elijah telling how he made his "Heart Love" painting made with oil pastels and water color paints. He did so good explaining each step
Isaiah decided to show a piece he did last year because it's "his favorite" His piece is entitled "Splatter Fun" inspired by Pollock's painting "Lavender Mist"
The group listening to a story.
Ok I couldn't resist these cuties...they just wanted to dress up and they were adorable. I thought "a picture of things to come with Hannah Bear"
I let the kids choose what they wanted to make for their valentines. Elijah chose to make play dough and then cut it out in the shape of a heart. We got the recipe from FamilyFun and it is a great recipe. Then we put them in baggies with a simple card attached. Isaiah chose to give paper airplanes with the instructions how to fold them also from FamilyFun. We rolled them up and attached a card that read "you're just 'plane' awesome" They were super cute.
The kids each had a bag and they had so much fun "delivering" their valentines to their friends. They got some really creative cards and giggled all the way home reading them.
Right up the street there is a little museum with lots of Olympic memorabilia. It was so fun to check out the pictures and of course to buy some souvenirs.
Isaiah and Elijah both wanted to represent the USA. Other kids choose other countries like Greece, Brazil, and Sweden. They were asked to bring in flags, wear country colors and also bring a mascot.
My dear sweet Hannah is all worn out and fell asleep. She was such a good baby. She laughed and cheered until she was all cheered out.
Elijah sharing why he chose the USA and about his mascot a black lab.
The whole crew!!
New Friends good times!

We finished our study on volcanoes...with what else volcano ice cream. yummmShe has so many contraptions but this is by far her favorite. She loves to get herself jumping and laughing. She is growing so fast. She's my super baby. It is amazing to me how much she is learning and developing. I joke with the boys when they are doing school that Hannah is doing her learning too, but she really is, from rolling over, to all her coos and squeals, to grabbing her feet and putting them in her mouth and even "swimming" in the tub with Mom, in just four short months she has changed so much. Last night I was watching her sleep and overcome with emotion realizing that just yesterday Elijah was that small, and Isaiah was that small. I could not resist going into their room to tell them how much I loved them and how amazed I am at the little men they are becoming. It is all happening so fast. I want to savor each stage of each one of these little people God has blessed me with.
