Well, I did not count on them being SO resourceful. I told them 'no' on TV every time they asked, and they came up with loads of things to do. Most of them were terribly artsy.
 |
| Last week of swimming lessons. |
 |
| One day, the kids were learning a bit about water safety. |
 |
| And there was the fun day. |
 |
| One afternoon Saara asked me, if she could go ahead and paint. Sure, I said. I had no idea that both kids painted for four days and at the end of it all we organized a little exhibition. |
 |
| The next levels accomplished. Saara's swimming instructors were shocked when I told them Saara was just five years old. She was the youngest in her group of mainly 9-12 (or so)-olds. |
 |
| More painting. Now on the the rocks. |
 |
| Andrew's rock faces. |
 |
| I have been going over and organizing things for the new school year. It is only two weeks away! One day, I dressed the kids up in the Wild West style stuff and made some WANTED posters. Andrew and Saara thought it was a lot of fun. |
 |
| Wild Wild West. It is going to be a Wild New School Year! |
 |
| Drum roll, please! Andrew setting up the art exhibition. |
 |
| I think, some abstract pieces Saara painted are worth a pretty penny (as if I would ever sell any). Totally 'frame-able'. |
 |
| The artists 'discussing' their work just before the 'official' opening. |
