Our Artist...certainly not a starving one :)

Now that Mitchell is in pre-school, our house is quickly becoming over-run with art projects! My favorite so far is a finger painting (PURPLE!). It won the coveted spot in our artwork frame that my Mom and David got us as a gift. We love it!







The item below is a family tree that Mitchell created at Pre-School. A note came home the day before they created family trees explaining what they were going to do and apologizing ahead of time in case the kiddos forgot any family members. I was honestly really curious to see if Maverick was going to make the family tree. Mitchell likes to have selective memory about his little brother sometimes :)



So here is his family tree. I am orange. Daddy is blue. Mitchell is brown sitting on the swing...and if you look closely you'll see a little brown baby in the tree. Yeah, he remembered :)

Mitchell goes to his traditional pre-school 2 mornings a week. We also go to a Bible Pre-school once a week, in addition to Sunday school. All of the kiddos created a white tile with their hand print on it. When we came to pick Mitchell up from Sunday school, all of the tiles were nicely lined up outside. Each of them had one little colorful hand print right in the middle of the tile. We started searching for Mitchell's. When I saw this one with two messy handprints, I just had a sneaking suspicion that it belonged to our active, independent boy....I was right! :)

Mitchell seems to be learning a lot in school these days! The other day, I was asking him to tell me the names of the other kiddos in his class.
He starts..."Wyatt, Roman, Christopher... But not Christopher Columbus. Christopher Columbus rode on 3 ships. But not that really big ship that is sitting in the ocean leaking oil."

Holy cow...his brain amazes me!
