As you may have read in my last post we had my mother, Nana, visiting last month. Ellie has recently developed a love for art, and was so excited to hear that Nana is a real life artist! We were accumulating a LOT of loose pages of Ellie's "art", so we gave her a folder and told her it was her "portfolio". That portfolio travels around the house with her now and helps collect all of the days "art" which you can guess by my use of quotation marks is a word I am using loosely. Most of her pages include at least one smiley face with a tongue sticking out. So, anyway, back to Nana...I knew right away that her one job while she was here, other than doing "art" with Ellie, was going to be painting murals on the kids walls. Were we ever excited!!
Ellie got a collage of butterflies above her bed, with one little one over by the window who must have been trying to escape from the pack :) She has slept backwards in her bed ever since Nana was here, because wants to fall asleep looking at her butterflies.
Matthew got an alligator in a swamp, along with a little dragonfly by his window. He insists on saying "night-night alligator" and blowing him a kiss before every nap and bedtime.
And I got a row of little duckies along the bottom of the kids bathroom wall...We love it! Thanks Nana!
Your mom did a beautiful job with the murals yet again! And what an inspiration for the budding artist in Ellie! I love that she is still carrying around her "portfolio." She's too much!
