The county art show

E was chosen by her art teacher, Mrs. Mitchell, to have a piece of art in the county art show. She worked so very hard on this project. Grandma and Grandpa were in town that week and were able to see it, which made it that more special for her.

E and her good friend and our neighbor, Hannah.

Mrs. Mitchell, our amazing art teacher. We were so glad that our school district fought so hard to keep the arts in the schools in spite of budget cuts. I think Mrs. Mitchell and Mr. B, our music teacher, are hugely important to my girls and their education.

Her piece was an interpretation of a sock monkey. Her painting is the monkey with the yellow dress in the back. A budding Picasso.

church art show

I found a picture from the fall of the girls that I forgot to add. Our church did an art show. The girls and their best friends got together and created the Garden of Eden. They spent days on this and were so proud of their work. We are so lucky that our girls have such dear friends that they can both go to church and school. Here a just a few of that great group of girls.
