my everyday life: week 5

Hello! What a week we had. We had lots going on, but it was super fun. Here's what went down:

Ollie got a new phone ... haha!

He also learned how to go DOWN the stairs this week! And would spend all his time on the stairs, if he could ... 

... or on the ottoman. 

A student painted, "The Fortress of Art" ... which I'll just leave here, but I love it. 

I got to see Kelly Clarkson (& Kelsey Ballerini!) with Danny's mom and sisters! It was such a fun girls' night!!

More parent and child pictures from fourth grade. :)

 
Ollie got to use a spoon a couple of times!

 And pulling down dish towels a million times. :)

He loves pointing to the big pictures on the wall as we say, "Mama, Daddy, Ollie" back and forth. 

 
Ordered some new watercolor books from some of my favorite Instagram artists!

So many big smiles. 

One of my students to our DIY shrinky-dinks into a headband!

Kids always know when you need a little pick-me-up, don't they?


Ollie got to visit Danny at his office.

And take a selfie ... :)

My art cluster worked on their murals again this week and they are turning out so cute. 

I went to a paint night with some friends from work and we made these fun sea turtles!

He checked out some Nike's at the outlet, but decided to stick with his sporty moccasins. He did pick up a new set of jammies, though. ;) 

I got to see the Utah Symphony play with my sister! The flutist's dress was GOALS. 

Sunday Selfie

Lastly, Ollie got to celebrate his first Super Bowl. Go Pats!
 (Please note sloth jammies.)


 Playing with Aunt Maddie. 

I'm excited to slow down a little bit this week and make time for more art, more runs, more family time, and more books.

my everyday life: week 4

Hello! I'm back. A quick update on the mini-muffins ... Ollie was not a fan. What can you do? Danny and I were though, so more mini-muffins for us! :) Here are some highlights from the week ...

Ollie's ready to go places! Too bad we were snowed in. ;) We got hit with so much snow on Monday! It was coming down all day. I'm so so glad we didn't have school!

So instead we did some organizing. Packed up soooo many baby clothes! We did not pack up Ollie though. ;)


 
Started Mother and Child portraits in fourth grade ...

made valentines in Art Club ... 

  worked on "stained glass" window art in third grade ... 

and finished nebulas in sixth grade!



I just love these.

We played a little too hard and finally hung some more pictures!

Ollie worked on his car ...

... and drove his bear around.



Ollie was super into his Red Sox hat this week!



Ollie's so into water right now ... more so playing with it than drinking it. :)

First time in the car cart!

I've waited ten months for him to wear this shirt!!!
 Love him green.


That's all for this week!
