Tracing Fun

I can remember using this tracing book when I was in fourth grade. Each page has something new you can trace... face shape, eyes, nose, mouth, hair, body, earrings, etc... I took it out the other day and Ellie had some fun.

She picked the items for this picture, but I did the tracing.

This one she did all on her own.

When Ellie Takes the Camera

Ellie occasionally asks to take photos. Here's a couple that I found.

Another To Do List

This list was dictated to me by Ellie...including the fact that she wanted me to draw the line and what order to do the colors in. I would also like to clarify that "Michael Learns to Rock" is her daddy's influence... not mine. :)

When I Went to Bed...

When I went to bed, this was what my computer looked like. Franklin was in the middle of fixing it. :) I woke up to a computer that was working better than it had in months! What a great husband!

Fun with Bubble Wrap

Ellie's hat

After sorting out the craft drawer in view of Ellie, she told me she wanted to make a hat. I asked her what she wanted to use. She said, "Paper, feathers, and glitter glue." 

Later we also added some letters.

Riding bikes Out and About

We don't take our bikes out very often. The other day we had meetings just down the road, so I let the kids ride their bikes. I had to run to keep up even with Abraham.

Homemaker in the Making

She made cinnamon rolls with me on a Saturday morning. After mixing the ingredients, she got her own bit to knead, she rolled it out, she buttered it, she put on the toppings, she rolled it up, she cut it. And she was proud to serve some to her daddy and her aunty.

She sews, too.

One day I woke up from my nap and she had cut the pieces out to make her brother a kabilato. She just needed help threading the needle and pinning the pieces together. Then she sewed it together and her brother loves to run around in it. It's nice for him to have some dress up clothes.
