Artsy

Every morning before school I'm rushing Eleighsa along to get into the car. Every morning she stops to draw on something. She'll push her finger across the fresh dew of the car to draw a family, city or something resembling modern hieroglyphics. Sometimes she'll drag her creative fingers across the frosted glass of our front door to create something I can't imagine or see. Every morning I say, "Eleighsa hurry up...we have to go." Each and every morning she leaves the house with her masterpiece left unfinished. It got me thinking that one day she'll be grown and I won't have all these little fingerprints around our home. What will this home look like without finger paintings, fingerprints and crumbs? This world is a blank canvas for her and she's drawing the pictures of life.

This is how Elaina sleeps in the car...hoping that a curious fly is never around, it might get swallowed.

Another Field Trip

Eleighsa went on another field trip. This trip was to the Festival of Trees. Various individuals and businesses decorate trees and they are put on display. It's gorgeous and zaps you with holiday spirit. The kiddos weren't so sure about it, I'll let the picture tell the story...

Well that's the story because that's the only picture I got. They had a train tree which she found amazing. Not much in the mood for pictures I guess.

Merry Christmas!

First Snowfall

Announcing the first snowfall of 2007...

Eleighsa is excited, she's in snowman mode. Ok so it's more like dandruff than snow...

Finger Foods

Elaina has learned that self feeding is much more fun and challenging than spoon feeding.

Come here lil' fella...

Gotcha!














Mission accomplished.













Chloe has been like another leg on the highchair. She waits for a morsel to fall and goes in for the catch. Elaina makes it easy on her. She looks over the side and throws food to her. So much for the doggy diet.
