Leilani got a new Dorothy and Toto alarm clock. She was really happy with it and drew it:
I think that’s Andy
Sunrise on Sept. 19th
One of our summer art projects. She had gotten a bucket full of girl “foamies” and decided she wanted to arrange them around a globe. She worked probably 2 weeks, off and on assembling each girl, and then I drew the globe for her with a sharpie and she painted it with my acrylics. We were a few girls short, so I helped her to trace them on paper, she cut them out and made the same dolls like before, just paper instead of foam. When we had enough I helped her glue them on the cardboard around the globe, but even during this step she did most of the work.
The fish mirror was our other summer art project. Just this one lasted 2 months, twice I took it away for more than a week, ready to give up (or finish it while Leilani was asleep ) The time it blocked our living room seemed endless… and I was so happy when it finally was done.
I had gotten it on freecycle, and it was all faded green, and off white, first I wanted to paint it, but Leilani wanted to help. I let her paint with small paintbrushes, and sat next to her and wiped up the mistakes. I also traced the edges and made sure she didn’t paint on wet paint. Finally, I painted the blue part and about half of the leaves. And the orange and silver fish. Several leaves and one fish were painted by her friends Sophia and Olivia.
Go away humans. Let me sleep.
Happy Birthday Andy. I baked an Austrian chocolate cake, a Sachertorte.
Can you take out the trash please?
Termites invaded us briefly… there were thousands swarming in Leilani’s room
The castles get better
I think I published that already
