crafting at the children’s museum
It seems kind of silly when your child spends most of her time at the children’s museum craft table. Can’t she do that at home? With all the cool exhibits to jump and play on, she picks paper and markers?
She is an artist at heart. Plus, she didn’t have a Tooth Box and the whole crafting section is about dental health this month. The Tooth Fairy will be pleased.
this moment: easy
A pocket note from this week. I laughed out loud when I realized my daughter had edited the difficulty level. She brought one home to finish yesterday, and watching her was amazing. I don’t even do crosswords that fast! It’s going to be a challenge keeping up with this girl.
This moment is a Friday ritual inspired by Amanda Soule.
valentine’s cookie for a friend
Last night when I picked my daughter up from Girl Scouts she had a huge iced heart cookie with her. My initial thoughts were: More icing? Not before bedtime! Combined with Valentine’s candy and cupcake decorating club…
“Mom! Look what I made for Mallory! Can we drop it off tonight? I made her a card, too!”
I love how excited she was to make this for her friend. I love how Girl Scouts encourages her to do kind things for others without a thought of getting anything in return.
Most of all, with five cupcakes coming home each week from club, I’m glad this cookie was a gift for someone else!

pocket notes
Most days after school my daughter pulls a little folded note out of her pocket and puts it in my hand. Sometimes it’s a doodle. Sometimes it’s a sudoku.
Today, it was a hedgehog named Sally.

your daughter has new artwork
I love getting email with this in the subject line: “Your daughter has new artwork!”
Not all of the art projects from school come home right away. They are saved and put together in a book that the children bring home on the last day of school. In the meantime, parents get emails of the artwork so they can see what the children have been creating.
I love these little owls. The description that came with this painting said: “Students made these Snowy Owls by using different painting and printmaking techniques. Can you see how we used pieces of cardboard to print the branches in our trees? Or the way we used the “wrong end” of a paintbrush to create the falling snow? How about our thumbprints that became the owls sitting in the trees?”
My daughter is a big fan of Ed Emberly’s thumbprint book series. (amazon link) I’m guessing she loved this project.

my daughter has a good eye
Every once and a while my daughter grabs the iPad and starts clicking away. I should probably start a series for her pics.
I love this shot. Yes, it’s grainy and blurry, but there’s something about the movement and composition that just gets me every time I look at it.
