Drawings

Great Grandmas House

We are still helping out at my Grandparents house once a month.  After we are finished we stay for a while and visit.  Sometimes we draw.

This one is Lilly's picture of her cousin William.

I think it's pretty good.

My grandparent had some birds build a nest under their porch in the backyard.

I mean the birds did it on their own; obviously.

Kiddo's Art work

The first two are Lilly's and are pretty self explanatory,  and the second two are Max's (as always) Halloween themed drawings.

A little shack in the mountains

The B.F.G with really, long hair like Rapunzel.

Spooky woods with a graveyard and a Zombie (on the left with blood)

Once again the SCARECROW THEME and apparently a "Dogo"

Pictures that Max made

I get really nostalgic especially when it comes to my children.  Almost to the extreme.  I hate throwing away things they've made or drawn in fear that I will forget what they were like at that age.  So I try to remember to take photos of things they've made or written so I can throw them away without feeling so bad.  Because I can't keep every paper that they ever make.
In Max's workbook that he does before bedtime it had a page that showed them how to draw different things using shapes.  The next morning Max drew these balloons and colored them.

 Here you can see he is practicing writing all the words he knows.  With a few people drawn in there too.  They are in the circled part.  Two  HUGE eyes, and legs and arms coming out of the eyes.  I love them.  He usually draws a scary mouth on them.

 Alphabet and numbers and I think he tried to trace his foot or hand.  The Alphabet is continued on the other side of the paper.

Primary Talk

When I was in Primary, (Sunbeam, I think) I can remember my dad helping me do a talk about Pioneers and he drew awesome pictures for me to hold up while I was giving the talk.  

This is certainly not Lilly's first talk, but I thought it would be cool if we could have some pictures to go along with it.  Her talk is about Service and we found all the pictures in the Friend magazine except for one of King Benjamin.  We looked and looked.  Finally I decided to just draw one.   Now that she can read, (second grade level, I might add, (and she's only 3 months into first grade, and just barely turned 6 )  Living proof that reading to your child helps.) we decided to type up the talk and tape it to the back of the pictures so she can just read it while holding up the pictures.  Good luck Lilly!
