Art and Grandkids Day!

Needless to say? I had a wonderful Sunday with my grand kids. They painted on one big canvas with acrylic paints. I taught them about "mixed media" and they added stickers and ribbons to the paintings! We played indoors and out, Grandpa and Grandson had a guitar duo going, they played invented games on tricycles carrying boxes on the back loaded with balls, and brooms, and rackets, being delivery people.
We took a nature walk where we identified lots and lots of flowers in bloom.

These are grandma and grand daughters shoes; and granddaughters favorite monkey dressed in a sweater I crocheted for her when she was a new born preemie, knowing full well that one day it would be doll clothes! And now it is.

  4. Love the shoes-once I took a similar picture of lovely laundry hanging on the line... and my boyfriend said, "Laundry?????" but it was so pretty, background of garden and apple tree. Your nestling intergenerational shoes make me think of that nice vision!!!

  9. Love the energy in that painting. Sounds like fun was had by all. Lisa, I happen to LOVE pictures of laundry on the line, and have written a poem abt laundry and also a short non-fiction piece about it. Laundry tells a story of the people who live in the house. Be well, Suki
