Addison's work

Random Findings

Girl Scouts: I Am...

Valentine Crafting

 This idea was learned from mom.  It's simple and fun.  

Sewing skills

Sewing

Delilah stated she wanted to sew a skirt.
She persisted and I finally got organized to assist.
(they are her fashion glasses...not real...but super cute!)

Dolpharina

Handmade with love to accompany the book

She has a barrette to switch out as a fashion accessory

From the heart

Last year Delilah made a book for Addison about a dolphin named Dolpharina. She made a sequel this year as a gift for her sister.

Art

Addison: this is my caricature I did in art class.
Mom: what's a caricature?
Addison: they are exaggerated portraits

It's perfect. She got her own details that are special to her individual character.

Halloween Festivities

The girls went to a celebration at the library and did games, crafts and face-painting.  (They were fortunate that the neighbors invited them to go as I was banning this event based on previous experience)

Scooby Doo all the way

Delilah was pretty insistent upon making her own trick-or-treat bag.  She asked me to draw her a picture of Scooby Doo and she set off to making her own bag.  I was pretty sure it would be too much of a hassle to carry.. especially after the string broke.  She didn't care...the compliments she got throughout the night were well worth it to her and she's already planning for next year.

Halloween

Old Photo Friday

Pineway Pond Fishing

Ezra gave tips.

Addison fished.

Delilah sewed.  

I took selfies!

Camping

We were able to be entertained inside for crafts and games.  At night, we returned for the ice cream social.

Skee ball was a quarter...that in itself was a bonus!

Some little kids figured out how to cheat...not that this way raised their score that much!

Art show

Art Show

Delilah has been dying for the last few months....so excited to talk about her artwork that she was sure would be picked for the art show.  She was right...so we got the invitation to see her piece at the college and go to the art show presentation.
