artwork and butterflies

Tyler's art teacher selected one of Tyler's paintings to be displayed in an annual exhibit at our school district's main Resource Center. Tyler's kindergarten class studied the work of Jasper Johns. The noticed he painted letters and number, usually with primary colors. Tyler chose two words he knew, and painted each letter, surrounded by a square, using a different primary color for each letter / square combination. Pretty cool, huh?

Later the same week, Ellie was playing outside when she spotted a butterfly in our neighbor's flower garden. Using her butterfly net, she caught the butterfly all by herself. With a little help from our neighbor - Mr. Kurt - we were able to transfer the butterfly to our bug cage. Ellie and Mr. Kurt made sure the butterfly had flowers to keep it company during its 'observation'.

It is the little things our kids do that makes us parents proud.
