Here are some snapshots from our week:
there’s a pond near here that we like to drive to sometimes and I love taking a walk with the birds, the planes (it’s near an airport) and the green!
it always makes me happy to be near water. Any kind of water.
we went to this wonderful museum of children’s art in Oakland. The kids started with the painting wall.
it took a little while for Nathaniel to get into it but once he got it, he loved it.
so did David.
he painted a scene.
and Nathaniel checked out all the fun tools.
they even got along relatively well.
and here’s david’s boat almost done.
then he just had fun.
then it was time to do a pop-up scene. this week’s theme was gardens. but the kids just did their own thing, of course.
there were sequins and gluing and just having a ton of fun.
next up was a mr. potato-head competition.
here’s Nathaniel’s under way.
the boys working and hot glueing.
David’s all done. I love love love this.
Then we went to lunch. I snapped some photos while we waited. for a long long long time.
my sweet boy.
my other sweet boy.
i am so grateful for these kids.
after lunch, we went back and it was time to play with clay.
The kids really loved doing whatever they wanted.
Nathaniel and I made this one.
and here’s his finished Mr. Potato.
Then it was family photo time.
there was hugging.
and laughing of course!
and here we go. so grateful for my life. i hope your week was lovely, too.
