Last week was an art show at Eli’s school. The hallways of the school were covered with art. I loved it! Sometimes I wish the walls of my house could be filled from floor to ceiling with Eli and Emma’s art work. They are constantly creating something, so this would easily get out of control.
We walked down the halls and first we came to Eli’s self-portrait. Notice he also included the name tag he wears daily at school. Love that.
Next, we came to shapes. I love the color combination. Who ever said red and yellow don’t go perfectly together?
Next, we found a bouquet of flowers he drew.
And then we came across some swirls. When I asked Eli what it was, he said “swirls of colors.”
We also came across a crab he cut and colored.
And a seahorse.
And a picture he made from career day. He drew himself as an engineer. Notice the way he spelled engineer. Brilliant!
We walked down the halls and saw art work from every class. Emma wore her perfect summer hat.
Eli posed for a picture in front of his class. He posed for the same picture on the first day of school in August. Sniff, sniff.
Then, we stopped so the E’s could draw a picture of our family on the wall.
Eli drew us. With a heart above our little family.
Emma also drew a picture of our family.
And we all looked the same and have really long legs.
Holy cow…only a few weeks until Eli’s kindergarten year comes to an end. Where did the year go? There’s been parties and assemblies, lunch dates in the cafeteria and report cards, field trips and field days, performances and reading logs. The year has been amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better kindergarten year for my boy. Sure I’d love to freeze time. If I could, I would go back to 3-year-old Eli and 6 month old Emma. When my days were all about nursing and diaper changing and balancing life with two babies while smiling because it was the life I always imagined. But, there’s no freezing time and my 6 month old Emma will be 4 soon and my first-born will soon be a 1st grader. All I can do is sigh because I am able to be home to watch this life unfold and watch them grow.
