Claire tells about her new garden hut

My hut has a chair in it. My mom started my hut on Saturday. I like to do school in the hut. Emily likes to have cookies in the hut. The door is made of bamboo sticks.

Emily's Poem

Your Face
 February January
 blink, blink, blink
Nose, nose, nose, nose Cheek, cheek, cheek
Teeth teeth, nose nose, everything, everything
 Hair, hair, lovely, lovely
Row your boat across the sea.

 (Jen added the title)

Still taming the mess. I am actually sorting through some of the chaos in the entryway and filing and or categorizing things in useful ways. Should be able to find supplies for creative projects easier after this.
The girls have been having fun working in their art journals (and mine) with stencils, oil pastels, crayons and colored pencils.

tremenduos mess

I have a tremendous mess spreading from dining room to living room. The girls and  I have done multiple art projects including art journals and we have art supplies, magazine scraps etc. scattered over two tables and spilling onto the floor also the girls have also pursued other interests while I've been editing photos on the computer and reading blogs.YIKES! Today we left it all behind and went to the zoo. Tomorrow we will have to tame the beast.
