A few fun projects!

Preston might like painting better than just about anything else right now! We have been doing a variety of projects, but here are a few that involved paint! Preston really loves loves loves to create with vibrant color and I think he must feel free when I hand him a brush and put some paint on a tray :) I love to watch his little face while he concentrates (with his tongue sticking out the side of his mouth!) and he works to create his masterpiece! I love you little buddy!




Somehow Preston really thinks it is more fun to obey the frog than to obey Mom-- works for me because these frogs have the best ideas of what to do next *wink*

Here is our attempt at creating a solar system poster! We have been loving the summer reading program at our library! It has helped our library trips be much more consistent these last few months! Last week we got a book about our solar system and the "milky way". We definitely were not going for accuracy as you will see, but it was a very fun way for us to apply some of our newfound knowledge about God's great Universe!



Preston painting his "very dark night space"!

Burke helped Preston run the glue, and the Preston decided where they ought to go! I think we ended up with an extra planet and a very chaotic cosmos!


Preston was so pleased with the finished project that he begged to hang it on his bedroom wall :)

What a fun mom you are! I am terrified of letting my kids paint, so they rarely get to, but those frogs are too cute. We may have to try them!
