Humpty Dumpty

It has been a while since I've posted any of the girls art, so here you go!  The girls are bringing home increasingly more art since starting preschool, so I'll probably be scanning in a lot more, just to get them off my counter.

They made these pictures at school during nursery rhyme week. 

The above picture is Emma's version of Humpty Dumpty.  Not bad.  He's wearing a hat and has a crack on his chest.  Emma has come a long way since her scribbles of the summer.

This next picture is Taylor's version of Humpty Dumpty.  I have to say, I was a bit surprised by this.  Taylor is always so neat and precise.  In true teacher fashion, I said, "tell me about this picture."  She informed me that if Humpty Dumpty was so broken that he couldn't be put back together again, then he would have cracks all over him.  That makes perfect sense.  And I thought they were just scribbles.

Budding Artists

Its been fun to see how the girls artistic abilities are developing. They have very different styles. Taylor is neat and always colors in the lines. Emma, on the other hand, is more of an outside the lines kind of girl. This totally matches their personalities in other areas of life too. Emma is always a little crazy and out of control. Taylor works hard to follow the rules. They draw and color a million pictures a day. We hang them on doors, bulletin boards, and the refrigerator. We really are running out of room. Taylor drew something on a white board today that I wanted to keep, but like I said, who has that much room? I took a picture of it instead.


Do you see it? Its me on my "married day". Will is the one in the hat and the other is a flower girl. Emma asked "where are the arm holes?" Taylor responded, "Mommy didn't have any arm holes." She's right - my dress was strapless.
