a little late night art

I’m hoping you can see the jellyfish in the first picture. 

Ellie drew one, and then told me it was my turn to draw one. The first time, apparently I didn’t do it right (how does one draw a jellyfish wrong?) because i was told “that isn’t very good, mom”. Nice…an art critic at 3. That one does a lot for my ego.

I guess it’s a good thing that Evan didn’t try to get in on the jellyfish art. His art skills are still developing and I would have hated to hear her “constructive criticism” in that case.

His art consists more of straight lines…or performance art…running around and throwing the chalk. That’s art right?

morning chores

The girls helping grandpa with morning chores on Labor Day weekend.

There is nothing cuter than the bitty ones lifting buckets of water and cans of cat food and carrying them out to the old shed…still wearing jammies, boots, and old sweatshirts (in Ellie’s case). Miss K was a little more fashionable…her coat wasn’t 8 sizes too big. :)
