We took a long, painful trip to Seattle this past week. It was fun, don't get me wrong, but the car ride was definitely on the stressful side. Cody was crying often because he wasn't feeling well, and poor Caitlin was just sitting it out. She said, just as we crossed over into Oregon, "I don't ever want to go there again!" I honestly could feel her pain. It was a tough trip when neither kid slept for more than 20 minutes.
The flip side is that Brian gave Caitlin this little set of post-its he'd gotten in the mail, and let Caitlin create small masterpieces to stick up on her window. It was quite funny. I took one of the best ones she did and took a picture of it:
This is me and her walking the dogs! (Isn't it great that she wrote LOVE above it??)
I wish I had gotten a picture of all 8 of the small post-its she had drawn on, they were quite clever.
Today, we decided to go garage sale-ing again (can't wait for summer) and I found a little bag of stamps that I got for Caitlin. She really "went to town" (one of her favorite phrases) with them once we got home. Here's a picture she made:
I glanced through her book and decided to also take pictures of some of the others that caught my eye:
I probably take her for ice cream more than I should, but I didn't realize it until I spotted this one of me with 3 scoops and her with 2! =)
She loves polka dots and stripes, and a rainbow of colors!Then, I grabbed her little scrapbook for my finale:
This is one she did about the time she helped Brenda make brownies.
This is her and Sam (her birthday cousin) eating chocolate chip pancakes!
Finally, this one is from Cody's baptism. I think she thought that candle meant there was a party. Love how she used these party hat stickers!
I really hope she continues to love doing art. It makes me so happy to see how creative she is and I hope that only gets better and better!
