Today Was A Good Day

Today one of my kindergarten students from last year, Presly, came to visit Harper and me. Presly is the best. We love all the same things like art of any kind, especially painting, cookies, “weenie dogs” and lots of other great things. She is definitely a child after my own heart. It probably doesn’t hurt that Harper and her favor each other with their big brown eyes and dark brown hair.

So today we had the BEST time. It was so much fun. Harper loved staring at Presly all goofily and trying to pull things off her crocs. Presly was great talking to Harper and letting me know when Harper was going up the stairs. Not to mention all the other fun we had. We started off by decorating a fork and spoon Presly brought from home. Presly picked out all the beads and I slid them onto the metal wire. Didn’t she do a good job? I love how Presly chose buttons to put on the fork and spoon along with some beads.

We then started with our cookie decorating extravaganza. I haven’t decorated cookies since Christmas so I was super excited to get started. Presly even made me my own cookie with my name on it and I already ate it. It was yummy.

I also had made Presly a Valentine can to carry all her cookies home in. All I did was decorate a small, empty paint can (it never had paint in it, it was NEW) with some pretty fabric and felt. I think it turned out pretty cute.

Last, but certainly not least, we painted. Presly is so good at painting and I really enjoyed painting with her. I haven’t had too much time to just really paint anything I wanted to so this was nice. I liked sitting at our dining room table with Presly just talking and painting with our jars of water and paints everywhere. Presly did a great job. She painted a 5×5 acrylic heart and a 5×7 acrylic sunshine. I painted a quirky little 5×5 acrylic painting for Harper.
