Artists in Residence

Tori has been a big fan of coloring, drawing, and generally making things for quite some time now. And I am very pleased to announce that Garrett has finally jumped on the coloring band wagon. We could get to him to color things, but only for a minute or so and then he was done. But over the past few weeks, he will sit and color as long as we will let him! Garrett currently likes to draw circles, big circles, dolphins, whales, and Diego! Tori is now starting to tell stories with her pictures and she is getting so good at writing her name!!!
Two kids hard at work creating!
This is a picture of  Daddy and Tori cleaning up bird poop! (It's so funny to see what she decides to draw!)
I love how intent he is on his coloring!
A fabulous creation by Garrett!
 It's so fun watching the two of them!
Another piece by Garrett!
So, I have been totally putting off introducing painting. I think I was afraid of the possible mess and then the need to clean it up. But, we finally pulled out the paints and let Tori go to town!
Tori's first painting was fantastic!!!
Let the creative juices flow!
Garrett's masterpiece thus far!!!
I love how Tori draws her people and how she writes her name. After she wrote her name on this picture, I pointed out that she was missing a letter. She said, "oh, I forgot how to make and 'r' so I left it out!" (We have some practicing to do!)
This is my Mother's Day card from Tori! A few fun facts about this awesome creation-the Belle sticker is the stamp, she cut around all the edges, and then asked for tape to hook everything back together!
I love watching our kids learn and grow! We have two awesome budding artists on our hands!!!
