art show.

Amelia's school had an art show one evening last week. Amelia was so excited to show us the artwork she had hanging in the school. She was also thrilled that she won a prize in the raffle. One of Amelia's favorite things about school is her art class. We are constantly picking up papers all around the house that she has drawn on. We love to see the creative things she comes up with.

There are farm animals in the courtyard. Elsa loves to check on the giant rabbits.

100 days

Amelia's school celebrated the 100th day of school a few weeks ago with lots of fun activities revolving around the number 100. I was able to help out in her class that day. Elsa jumped right in and did all of the activities and made lots of friends. All of the kids loved Oliver and loved to smother him with affection.The whole class was in hysterics when he climbed into their laundry basket full of stuffed animals.

I helped the kids make portraits of their 100-year-old selves. It was amusing to hear what they would do when they were 100 (sit in a chair, sleep, go to the bathroom a lot, go fishing, knit, etc).
