Summer fun, weeks 1 & 2

I'm having so much fun this summer and it's only just begun!  The first week of vacation, I went to gymnastics camp in the morning.  We swinged on a pole and landed in a foam pit.  I flipped over on the bar; it was really fun because there were some other bars that you could flip over and the last day I had to practice one thing on each of the bars.

I asked Mommy if we could have a picnic in our backyard.  The blanket in my picnic basket was too tiny so I asked Mommy to find a different blanket to sit on.  We read books and we ate food and we did drawings and we did stamp pads and we looked at photo albums too.  It was really fun.

Take me out to the ball game!  I got to go to a Dodger baseball game with my Mom's part of the family.  Uncle Rob, Uncle James, Aunt Chris, Aunt Christi, Grandma and Grandpa, cousin Kurt and Mommy, Daddy and Lil'Buddy all came.  

This is a picture I took of my toes that are painted.  Do you see the pattern?

This week, my brother and I are at Vacation Bible School (VBS).  The theme is SKY, so here we are in front of the rockets.  Do you see the smoke coming out the bottom of the rocket?  Today our verse said, "Don't let your heart be troubled. Trust in God."  Yesterday, the verse was "People judge by the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."

My art

School is almost over!  Tomorrow is my last day of Kindergarten.  We have a promotion ceremony at 10 o'clock.  All of the kindergarteners get to sing two songs.  Then my class is going out to pizza.  Mommy and I made a beach cake today to share with my class.  It has graham cracker crumbs for the sand, and blue frosting for the water.  (If the decorating turns out well, Mommy will post a picture of it on my blog tomorrow.)

Below are more pictures that I did this year in the after school art class, and the art class on Thursdays in school.

 This is my last picture from after school art class.  Mommy really likes it.

 This is the picture that Mommy thought she wouldn't get from the school because it wasn't in my portfolio.  But my art teacher gave it to me today.  It is a picture of kids playing at a water park.

 For this picture, I first did a big circle then a tinier circle then a tinier circle then a dot.  Then we put a background in, then the teacher sprinkled paint on our pictures.  We got to pick the colors.

 I did this dot-to-dot in school today.  First we did a 100 page.  That is where we write the numbers from one to one hundred.

This is a picture from Diego Rivera.  But I did a copy of his painting of a girl.  It's oil pastels on black paper.  Daddy has it hanging in his classroom; you can see the magnets if you look closely!
