First Comes Love...

Here it is  :)

I know...you've all been waiting for this so patiently 😉

Here are some things Abigail has been working on in class during the Holidays.  Increasingly, I see her bring home more freestyle art and love seeing her personal expressions / what she is drawn to create:

Here is George's latests work. It's beyond adorable watching him bring it home and explain to me what he's made. A short but sweet installment: Created with Ms Judy (SLP)

I didn't think I would be at kid #3 and able to track a first piece of art, but when I never do any at home I suppose it becomes more obvious  ;) Ben worked on this a few weeks ago with George during his speech therapy session.  I had some paperwork to fill out, so Ms Judy offered to bring Ben in for George's sessions.  Both had a great time and Ben was thrilled with his masterpieces! He's been pointing at it with pride on the bullet board for a few weeks now  💕

Abigail is bringing home a lot more "work" and homework these days than actual art, so I've put a mix of both in here (I'm sure it's only with your eldest that you find classwork so adorable...)

The fall collection is here!

It's that time again! A few cute Valentine pieces, a get well card to George, and an adorable wand among other treasures.

The board has been getting full, so it was time to take things down, save the good, remember the funny, and say farewell to the pedestrian pieces 😉 George had an especially creative Valentine's Day, bringing home 5 pieces of art; three of which he would eat pieces from or licked a bit each day.  As funny as it was, no one is going to miss watching him salivate over his papers each morning 😝 George didn't draw the little people on this one, but I love that he dedicated it to me in the height of his Dory obsession Before the infamous Valentine art, the trend of eating your art had already started a bit.. I'm not sure this was worthy of an "awesome" or "great" stick, but that's why we love Mrs. Harig! The green heart was the daily licking piece 😆  I was tempted to keep it, but a picture will do. Self explanatory It's so fun seeing George's style develop!

Here is Miss Abigail's 2016 Fall / Winter Collection!

The wait is over - I give you the George Lauckner, Fall / Winter 2016 collection...

Both George and Abigail attended Evergreen this summer.  George was still too young for camp, but Abigail had a great time back with so many teachers she loves (particularly Ms. Forzon, who always runs art camp). Most of the artwork was from that week, but there were a lot of fun weeks this year: ceramics, drama, gymnastics, and cooking, to name a few! Anatomy lesson during health and fitness week The class drew fish with step by step direction.   Abigail's Piet Mondrian My favorite: the sweetest little wind chime A flower shaped frame made in ceramics class

George started early preschool at Evergreen Academy back in May and began bringing home artwork. While there wasn't much, it was fun seeing his handiwork, and he was so proud of each piece. My little creator! The day he came home with this was the day we discovered he knew his colors! Well, red and blue, anyway. Fourth of July art More holiday art A life sized installment.  Lucky us! With 3 year old big-league preschool starting at St Joe's this Fall, there will no doubt be more where this came from. George is such a smart, quick learner, and I can't wait to see everything he creates and learns in the year ahead!

Abigail brought home so much artwork this past winter / spring!  She's been doing great at school, having learned so much this past school year.  She completes her work correctly and is writing her name like a pro. I'm a one proud Mommy!
