Jilly art

When our mornings go well and we get to school a little early, Mommy will take Jill's backpack to her classroom for her so she doesn't have to bother with it during the opening prayer service.  Often times Mommy will take advantage of this  to hide little notes for Jill to find during the day... in her pencil case, a workbook, etc.  (Much like Mommy used to leave for Daddy when they played hockey together at school!)

So on Tuesday Mommy was rummaging through her quiet time notebook and stumbled upon this page that made her beam and get teary all at once!

Mommy helped out in art class again this week and the kids made drawings of sock monkeys.  Again, Jillian's was one of the very best in the class! She drew the monkey herself, used paste and 'tiled' tissue paper (the blue) for the dress and then painted everything that is pink and white.  She did fabulous!
