Anneke's food

Anneke -

My favorite food is macaroni.

After school I will go to a restaurant.

Lately Anneke has been doing a lot more artwork. Today she gave me these two specimens.

Self Portrait

Anneke -

There are 5 letters. M for Mom, D for Dad, C for Caspian, M for Marcus and a blown up A for the artist. Oh and this is a self portrait.

Valentine's

My children love to make their own Valentine's. I don't know if I save money or not. That is not why we do it. Last year I spent a couple of weeks cutting out hearts from construction paper. I gave them stickers, glue and paper along with the hearts and they personalized each card.

This year Anneke wanted "a heart note" and bat signal to give away. I thought of putting a bat symbol in a heart, but of course my husband thought of making a bat symbol in the shape of a heart. He made 4 different versions.

Marcus chose this one:

I made this heart note according to Marcus's specs and Anneke liked it, too.
This is the one Anneke chose:
Quite frankly I liked one they didn't choose. Anyway, they were for our children. It was fun to let them personalize and come up with sayings. Marcus wants to give conversation hearts, too.

Anneke at work

I am sorry it has been a while. Things have been a bit crazy. When Anneke gave me these, though, I had to share for a few reasons. 1) She finished her work and drew on the back. 2) She is moving away from stick figures and "tad poles". 3) Her writing is improving so much. (BTW she is still not as old as Marcus was when he started kindergarten. Weird, huh?)
