around the house


some images from this weekend. the girls had a dinner and art show at their preschool on friday night. it was lovely to see them so excited about their work. and i found out a little fun fact while i was there that creativity is at its peak in the early childhood years. no wonder i am amazed by my girls on a daily basis with the artwork they create, their ability to entertain themselves with make believe stories, and how they find happiness from living in the moment instead of being attached to electronic devices and superficial things (like i do).

we also got caught up in the moment making hand shadow puppets. the lighting was just right in the corner of our home and the girls loved it. 

and i really lucked out at our public library this weekend. found these 3 fabulous books that i have been wanting to get my hands on for awhile. 
1. chihuly garden installations
2. bringing up bebe: one american mother discovers the wisdom of french parenting. by, pamela druckerman. 
3.  food rules: an eater's manual by michael pollan, illustrations by maira kalman.

    Hi there Molly,
    Wonderful happy photos. BTW, there is a short film on Chihuly that my girls watched when they were a little bit older than yours... about the process of making his art. The girls loved it. We saw it at the Austin Art museum, but I bet you can find it on Net Flicks.
    Have a great week.
