Samuel Art

Since turning 3 in the fall, Samuel is suddenly very into creating. He loves to color and paint and do art projects like his big brother and sisters. :) Here are a few of his recent creations.

His Adorable Penguins...

And he wants to do everything himself now, which makes for a big mess most of the time, but it's always worth it!

His heart tree...

All I did was trace his hand and cut out some hearts for him. They had to be green, not red, he insisted. :)

Stamping hearts with a squished paper towel roll cut to a small enough piece for him to easily hang on to.

And another Valentine craft with lots of glue and yarn...he was pleased with himself. :)

WAY Back in January...

Life has been so busy in the Adams' household, I haven't blogged in ages! WAAAAAAAYYYYY back in January we were having quite a bit of fun! We did a lot of 'snowy' themed art and play, went on an awesome field trip and enjoyed a fun dress up night at Awanas. Here is a glimpse of some of the things we did...

We enjoyed some fun black and white snowy art.  :)

Faithy made a cute snow family picture and practiced writing all of our family names on the circles.

I LOVE that she drew each of our faces so differently!

We also got to go on an awesome field trip to see the Chinook Helicopters with our homeschool group!

The kids loved it!

One of our sweet friends had a birthday and I got to make her fun artist's cake.  :)

We did another fun snowman project with marshmallows...and of course we had to eat some too.

Joy and Joshua got to dress up as snow people for a theme night for Awana. They were so cute!

Joshua spent many days playing with the dominoes and making all sorts of shapes and designs to knock down...

We got a few more snow flurries...

The kids always love to sit at the window and watch it fall down, it's so pretty.  :)

It was fun for awhile, now we are praying that spring will come quickly! We are so tired of the cold! Hopefully it will be here soon.  :)

Snow Day!

It finally snowed here today! The kids were SO excited to wake up and see flurries out the window....

It wasn't much, but it was the first we've seen so far this season. 

It barely covered the ground, but there was enough to make some snow angels!

It was here and gone again quickly, but hopefully we'll see some more soon.

Snow Painting!

This was TONS of fun! The kids loved it! I brought in a bucket of snow from outside and divided it up into three big bowls. They were REALLY excited to have snow in the house! :)

First we did some basic color mixing. I gave them each one color to be in charge of while we made the rainbow...

We used both paintbrushes and a medicine syringe to get the snow really soaked with color.

After our color mixing in the snow, they each had their own bowl of snow to paint. It actually lasted much longer than I thought it would! I thought for sure in the warm house that it would melt quickly, but it didn't. :)

Joshua enjoyed spattering the paint on and watching the snow soak it up.

Joy made a very interestingly colored snowman!

When I asked her why his eyes and mouth were on the top of his head she said,"He's praising the Lord!" :)
