Cora's art (and Quinn's too)

Lauren Foster (one of our 3 amazing Lauren babysitters) kept C and Q Saturday night. Aside from making her argument for why we should name baby #3 Lauren... She showed us this art. Q went to bed early; Cora and Lauren sat next to each other and did this:

There is a lot of art happening at our house this summer. Today, this Hello Kitty backpack. 

I'm getting full commentary right now on what color is being selected and why. "Mom let's color the edge of her face pink... Like she's getting a BiG face painting".

I pulled these figures out of a box yesterday. Honestly, this year has been so wonderfully chaotic (new house, Landon was still in school, work was busy, new neighbors to play with, I tgot preggers) that I hadn't unpacked a few boxes still in the guest room. I remedied that Saturday. When these Hallmark figures came out, Cora said, "Oh Mommy I love these! We just need to draw them eyes a nose and a mouth". If these get decorated, you know who did it. 

I'm writing in real time... Landon is in kitchen and just said, "nuts! I keep meaning to have you order nuts".

I said, "ah man! I just put in my Harris Teeter order". Cora just said, "you should say, 'what in the whiskers' but 'ah man' is ok to say, too". Callie's Wild West is a favorite around here, if you aren't tuned into disney.

Since I'm in real time here's an update of Cora's bag. The set only came with green pink and yellow... Cora wanted brown so she told me she was using green then pink to make brown. 

Lo and behold, it worked. 

Quinn's bag.

Good summer morning from the Messal house.
