Painting Ceramics

Gavin painted a beautiful little ceramic dog today. It is a planter. There is a hole in the middle for a small planter and we will point some seeds in it. It is supposed to grow grass in about 5 days. Should be cute. But for now, he did all the painting. He didn't leave a single white spot without paint! Look how beautiful. :-)

Luca's 2nd Birthday

Monday was Luca's 2nd birthday. It's amazing she has made it that long and we didn't kill her first. :-) Gavin and I took a trip to the grocery store and got her a little cake, some treats and a new bone. We put candles on the cake and sang Happy Birthday to her. She didn't care - she just wanted her cake.

Spaceman!

Today's project was... Spaceman!!! Gavin wanted to be a spaceman so we made a spaceman suit. I didn't have all the things I would like to have had but we made do. He did very good helping cut all the holes in the box, stapling the construction paper and coloring some spots on the box as well! He likes it and he looks so cute. :-)

Gavin's Holiday Party

Friday was Gavin's Christmas party. It had gotten canceled due to a snow day around Christmas so we finally had it. It was SOOO cute. His teacher had a pretty structured day. They did their regular morning routine of stories, songs, bible verses, bible songs and exercise. Then we ate and played. She also gave the kids presents. She got each child 2 books. It was very cute and very fun. This one picture is of the kids doing the song "Head & Shoulders, Knees & Toes." As you can tell, the teacher is on toes and a few kids (including my babydoll) is on head still! :-)
