Week-in-review

The girls play so well together. I love that they are so close in age and enjoy doing the same things! Here are some of their highlights of the week.

Selah is definitely reaping the rewards of having a big sister that can read! Here Charis is reading children stories from the New Testament.

For Selah's birthday, she got a mess-proof paint kit. I told my mom (who gave it to her) "Don't put it past my girls to figure out how to make it messy!"
Raegan watching her big sisters from the kitchen floor. She may not be able to be involved yet, but she's definitely into watching every move they make.
Uh-huh. The top of the paint bottle...you know, that thing that guarantees it won't be messy, exploded off the top. Globs of paint came flying out. So much for "mess proof".
The "finished" product. We had to stop painting before it was done because of the paint malfunction. Oh well...it was fun while it lasted.
Charis loves cutting!! And she actually does an AMAZING job...she can even do detail cutting work!!

Selah loves uses her glue stick! She loves being a big girl like Charis
The finished product! Raccoon puppets.
I have a dry erase board for letters and numbers. Charis was doing her letters and Selah was watching. Just to give Selah something to do, I handed her the ones with the numbers to trace. I was Amazed at how well she did! She just turned three! And we've never worked on her writing anything (even though she showed me months ago that she could write the letters A and E). Thank you Lord for self-motivated children, who learn despite me! :)

She was actually upset at how "badly" she did, even though I was gushing over it. So I took a picture and said that I was going to show it to everybody. Her frown immediately turned into a laugh. "Really? Grandma and Granddaddy will see it?" Yep. They will! :) She left the room dancing and quite proud of herself.

Here is a Christmas Tree that Charis drew and cut out all by herself. In fact, I didn't even know she was doing it. She's like me...she loves the Christmas season and everything about it :)
And last but not least...THE COW. This is, by far, my favorite picture Charis has ever drawn. I love it!!! And will have it framed.

She had given it to me about an hour before Jet got home from work. When he got home, he saw it and said, "Charis!! This is awesome! Can I...?" I interrupted him. "Nope. don't even think it, buster. She gave it to ME!"

Hee hee... Charis loves making pictures for people. And giving them away. I'm just glad that I was the recipient of this lovely heifer. :)
