G r r r … Jack-O-Lantern Heads !!!
Boo !!! … The pumpkins are carved … And we’re ready to frighten the neighbours!!!
This is the first time we played with toothpicks for teeth. Lots of spooky fun !!!
Jade created the pumpkin with the “heart” eyes and I created the other one.
Visiting Unikitty at Cloud Cuckoo Land
Jade’s been talking about The Lego Movie for months now … Jade’s gone Lego Movie crazy !!!
Jade still isn’t very comfortable using scissors so we brainstormed a project. She really wanted to create something with the Unikitty character (I had nooo idea what she was talking about). After some internet research, we recreated Unikitty’s home in Cloud Cuckoo Land.
Finally, last week we purchased The Lego Movie DVD … and now I finally “get it” !!!
Happy Happy Birthday Chalk Art
My daughter is super, super excited about her upcoming birthday this month.
She will be FIVE and starts kindergarten in September. It is a very exciting time !!!
I asked for “Pressed Pants” not “Plants” !!!
All joking aside, Jade and I had a blast at StrongStart yesterday.
StrongStart is a FREE early education program in BC, Canada.
The top drawing is a fun doodle from our pressed plants (shown below).
Jade really loved being in the trails and picking leaves and flowers.
And I really liked drawing from our exploration.
This exercise helped me focus on unique details and shapes of our local plants.
Grandma’s Art Gallery
Lots of new art on Grandma’s fridge.
My daughter Jade, her cousins and myself drew voraciously at Grandma’s place.
Visiting Grandma’s Home
We just came back from Grandma’s home in Saskatchewan.
Grandma is “old school” and doesn’t have any cable tv or internet connections.
Because of that, we spent a lot of time drawing, going to to the playground, etc.
Jade had a wonderful time seeing all her cousins, aunts, uncles …
And Jade especially loved seeing her Grandma again.
The Jellyfish Garden Party
I drew the green seaweed and the top blue line.
Jade created the rest of the drawing.
Those pink jellyfish really love to party.
Dog Days Of Summer
Lately, we’ve been dog-sitting our neighbour’s amazing black lab.
The dog’s name is Gunnar and he’s eight years old.
He has the perfect temperament for children.
Gunnar doesn’t jump up on people and he doesn’t lick faces either.
He’s the perfect friend for Jade.
She absolutely adores him.
Jade’s Hotel Transylvania Birthday Party
Happy Boo-Day !!!
My daughter Jade absolutely adores the animated movie Hotel Transylvania.
It made a super fun theme for her 4th birthday party.
Enclosed are a few memorable pics from the day.
Group Mural
The party craft was a giant 8 foot wide poster.
Each kid drew a monster and decorated their own bat.
Even some parents joined in the fun.
In the end, the mural was like a HUGE card for Jade.
Group Photo
Everybody smile !!!
Jade and her happy friends with their finished product.
Pin the Head on Frankenstein
Jade was the 2nd closest.
The game was a “monstrous” hit with all the kids !!
Birthday Cup Cakes !!!
Of course, no party is complete without some sugary goodness.
Jade had a great time but was COMPLETELY exhausted by the end.
She went to bed at 4:30 that afternoon … And didn’t wake up until 5:oo the next morning !!
Jade’s Cool Chalk Drawing
Jade drew the fun character and then I thickened the lines (above).
We made a bunch of drawings and Jade danced around (below).
