art & s'mores....

audrey's creative streak was a mile long today.....whew, she must have a little picasso pinned up inside her trying to get out!!

but before that, the morning started off quite interesting....surprise, surprise ~ both children managed to sneak into our bed early this morning...as i am cuddling them i realize they are both burning up....ugh....we knew grant has been battling something but audrey was fresh meat....stomachache, junky sounding cough & fever won itself a trip to the doctor....but before i could get out the door ~ i know what you are thinking and YES, our pediatrician is open first thing sunday morning...talk about a blessing! ~ and brett off to his meeting at church i get called into work.....ugh ugh....so much for brett's meeting....brett took the kids to the doctor and i headed in....as murphy's law would go, they get to the doctor and the kids are acting fine....motrin kicked in, fever down.....it's just viral & the typical prescription ~ motrin & fluids.....ugh . ugh . UGH.....we all managed back home around the same time and that is when all the *real* fun began....

art day & s'mores!

audrey is the *rainbow of the week* for her class.....part of her rainbowy duties is to make a poster all about her....she had a lot of fun painting, cutting out her name and fixing the pictures....of course, grant is never to be out done ~ he too had to get in on the painting action....though, bless his little two-year-old attention span, he didn't last as long as audrey...

grant's masterpiece.....let's call it abstract :)

audrey's poster......rainbow ready!

after wild man decided to move on to bigger and better things ~ cleaning the toilets with daddy ~ audrey had one more masterpiece to create.....and was it ever!!

i really like roosters.....a few of them inhabit my kitchen here and there.....i also really like children's art....i keep a picture frame above the table with audrey's art.....we've had a pig, a tiger and now this gorgeous rooster....

i am so proud of her....she has wanted to make that for me from the first day she saw it in her art book.....audrey is so creative and sweet...always thinking of others.....man, i hope that lasts....precious, precious *drama queen* child.....the drama must come from her creative side :)

like i said before....her creative streak continued....cooking....she broke out her awesome paula deen children's cook book and found the perfect thing for this cold day.... s'mores! ....yummy....they were ooey, gooey good :)

now, if i can just stay home the rest of the night and not have to go into work.....ahhh, that would be a perfect ending to this day.....hope you guys had a great weekend and enjoyed the cool weather!!
