lookout picasso

I took these for my friend Kate (who is an art teacher)- just wanted you to know that it's not just all music around our house... Audrie is getting her art time in, too! :)
Audrie actually really likes to color and it only took us about 20 million coloring times to get her to stop eating the crayons. But now she just scribbles away and loves it.

I got her a booster seat this weekend and we're working with her to eat from a plate (plastic kids plate). She really likes sitting in her "big girl" seat and since it's been so incredibly rainy all week we've been doing a lot of coloring.
When school is out in a few weeks I have a finger painting art project planned for her. Did you see the episode of Jon and Kate plus 8 where she had her kids paint on a large art canvas? Turned out really neat, so I'm going to let Audrie have a try at her first masterpiece! (PS- I'm a little worried about Jon and Kate plus 8... LOVE that show, but don't love the latest news about them. I hope it's only just media gossip.)
