Chalk Art

May 20, 2015

For Easter, GJ sent the boys these chalk “paints”. It’s basically chalk powder in a bottle with a sponge top and you add water to it to make it like paint. They ended up being AWESOME. Look at the cool art Maxwell drew on our driveway!

Phase 1 complete!

He did all of that himself except for the head. I drew the circle for the head as he was still figuring out how to hold the paints. Once he got the hang of it, he didn’t need me for anything! He then decided it needed to be all orange!

And every artist has to sign their work!

We ended up with quite a colorful driveway full of cats…

and even a “Maxwell loves Momma” sign!

Maxwell ended up writing his name again above the tiger and then had me write Spencer and Samantha’s names…

The paints were super fun. My mom got them at Target but they are now sold out. Luckily I found some more on Amazon so bought more for us and several for birthday presents! Perfect! Love my little artist!

End of the school year!

May 19, 2015

I can’t believe this school year is wrapped up! Both boys had their last day of school last week and I’m going to miss both of their little classes so much. They each had the sweetest classes with friends that I hope will be in their lives for a long time! I signed up to be the party mom for both of their classes and did these little buckets with a beach ball, candy and sunglasses…

I think the kids liked them. I also did cookies and popcorn for Spencer’s class while another mom did the food treats for Maxwell’s class.

Spencer did GREAT this year in his older toddlers class with Mrs. Alice. He really came alive – especially in terms of talking! – as the year went on and I know school played a huge part in that! We love Mrs. Alice!

He had an awesome year! Loved this note Mrs. Alice sent home…

So sweet.

Maxwell could not have asked for a better year either! Mrs. Kathy was wonderful for him. She loved him, he loved her and I love them both! Maxwell learned a TON this year. He’s a smart kid and I’m grateful that he has such a good school to encourage that even at a young age.

Not only did Maxwell love his class this year but he also loved doing Soccer Shots before school this semester. I went for the parent observation day and got a kick out of seeing his new skills!
