Little Artists

At the market yesterday, the arts center set up a table where kids could help build a mountain range using clay.  Lena added some layers and then moved on to the kids yoga class and running around with a friend.  Joseph stayed at the table for over an hour making boulders, snakes, trees, monsters, and people to put on the mountain.  You can see some of his work in the last picture.

Kindergarten starts soon!

Joseph got to visit his Kindergarten classroom today and meet his teacher.  He was very excited to go, though you may not be able to tell from his face.

Give and take

Lena was super nice at the art festival and shared her snow cone so that Holden could have his first taste.  Notice how her face changes as she realizes that it is now Holden's snow cone.  Don't worry, we got her another one.

Almost There

It was a very busy weekend.  In addition to the Renaissance Festival, we went to a music and art festival here in Clinton.  Joseph tried out the climbing wall.  He ended up hanging out in the same spot until his arms felt tired, but he was happy to give it a try.

Fairy Lena

Lena took advantage of everything the Renaissance Festival had to offer.  She watched some dancers, a puppet show, got her face painted like a fairy, visited some horses, and fed some goats.

Renaissance Festival

We went to a Renaissance Festival in Rome this weekend.  Lena looked like quite the maiden in her dress courtesy of Aunt Rhea.  Holden sported his knight's helmet until it got too hot.  Joseph designed a full set of armor complete with a sword (silver thing on the left) that Daddy helped him cut out of boxes.  He got a lot of positive feedback.

Maybe it's time for a haircut.
