Random Art

Whitney's rainbow, worm family, and peacock
McKenzie's flower, sunshine, cloud, and ladybug.
Sam's Yoda, C3PO, and R2D2---She is in love with Star Wars.
McKenzie's Kindergarten Turkey

We love living next door to my parents. This gives the girls the unique opportunity to see their grandparents as much as they want. Last summer my mom started something we call, "Nana Time." Each week the girls take turns going over to Nana's house one at a time--and they get a whole hour to spend, just them and Nana, doing whatever projects or playing anything they want with Nana. They LOVE the one-on-one time and all the attention they get at Nana's. Some of the perks of being the ONLY grandchildren and living sooo close. With the exception of the Turkey, the above art are pictures the girls made at Nana Time with these waxy straws that you bend and press into different pictures and shapes. I took pictures of them and tossed the real things---because there was no real way to store them . . . The Turkey was a Kindergarten assignment of McKenzie's, they needed to decorate the Turkey with different objects. We used beads and gumdrops and noodles and pipe cleaners. It turned out splendid! Kenzie got to use alot of sorting and counting skills. It was a fun project for us to do together!! :) Love you Kenz.

I love that your mom does this. It is such a cute idea, I think the girls will hold these times very near and dear to them for their entire lives. I wish we lived closer to grandparents...
