I had the kids create Mother's Day cards for their Grandmothers tonight. Unfortunately, we did not get an early start. I had to divide up the assignment between Lexi & Jordan. Lexi started with Granny Lou. She drew a picture of herself with Granny Lou and Granddad in Granny's garden. Next, she worked on a picture for my mom. It was getting late, so I was trying to rush her. We quickly talked about what Grandma would like. I mentioned a drawing of her 5 five kids. Lexi got right to work and had no other input from me. I was completely amazed at the accurate details that she added especially since she hasn't seen my brothers in a few years. She asked me if it was ok that Paul (labeled Poll) had his hands in his pocket. That is exactly what my dad & Paul do quite often. Then, I noticed that Alma (labeled Allmo) had bare feet. He is a legend for his bare feet. People around here still comment on them. Yes - he even has bare feet in the snowy cold weather of Wyoming/Montana/Colorado & all those cold places he has lived. Then there is Clayton doing bunny ears on Paige. Of course, that is what he'd do in a real picture. This is quite a realistic depiction of a crazy group of siblings. I’m sure my mom will love it.
