Art

Connor loves to make art.  Lots of it.  So when his school started an art class, I knew I'd have to use some of my kid-project-processing skills.  Basically, that just means taking pictures of everything, then getting rid of most of the originals.  Connor was super excited to display the contents of his kindergarten portfolios - one is from Fall Trimester, the other Winter Trimester (they did a music class in the spring.)

While my mom was here, she was kind enough to do Elise's hair whenever asked.  Elise thought it was deserving of a photo.  I have to mention that I can't believe I didn't get a picture of my mom in our pool.  It must be years since she's been near a swimming pool, but she astounded us by doing perfect olympic-style dives and cannonballs off our diving board.  I guess I forgot she minored in P.E.
            

I have no French-braiding skills, so Elise has to beg extended family.

   
The rest of these pictures are just us hanging out at home.  Elise and Evan went through a phase of obsession with our double-tricycle.  Evan can't pedal yet, so he thought this was a total thrill ride.  Oh, and the last two are what happens when a baby finds a dried-up disk of watercolor paint. Mmmm, blue.
     

Evan's making his ah-bah-bah Indian noise.

   

   

I took too long to find the camera - it was worse than this when I found him.
