Friday, the weather hadn’t warmed up quite enough yet to go out in shorts (like the kids wanted to) so I had them sit down in front of the patio door, gave them pencils and paper, and asked them to draw me something that they saw outside.
Laurianna drew a great picture of one of my plant stands and pots on the deck.

McKenna drew a little of everything: the table, the umbrella, a chair, the truck across the street, a house…because variety is the spice of life!

Zachary drew the table (and this is verbatim): “This is to the left, and this is to the right…(and then I asked what this large oval shape on the paper was)…”and that’s the whale. He got lost in our backyard.”

Who could have known? I completely missed seeing that hanging around the backyard.


Zachary sounds like our oldest daughter. She would totally see the whale in the back yard :)
I had TOTALLY forgotten about that post. Thanks for the good laugh this
morning!! :)
