She's Creative!!!
I am so glad that Miss Ava Jean is following in her mama's footsteps in the art department. She loves to draw, do crafts, decorate her bedroom (if you can call it that!) and TAKE PICTURES!!! I have my old Sony camera that she has take over, and you better believe that I will teach her everything that I know. She's been asking me lately when she can start assisting me at weddings! I told her when she's 14, but she wasn't satisfied with that!
Ava and I made a Native American woman from the Hopi tribe for Creative Arts Week. I was amazed at all of the details and ideas that she came up with. I think it turned out pretty darn cute! I also got to help at school when the kids made their pueblos. They did such a great job, and it was really fun to watch them work together.

Weighing the damage
This week's destruction includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- One toilet- dropping the lid of the tank into the tank will lead to a large crack in the tank, and therefore, you will need to replace the entire toilet. New toilet- $150
- Marker on the kitchen cupboard DOES come off with 1 magic eraser- $1.00
- Sidewalk chalk on the wall will come off with water on a rag- free.
- One telephone base- ripping the phone off of the base repeatedly will cause the phone to no longer charge on the base, which leads to 4 very dead phones. $75.00
- One vase- Used for decorative purposes, but not a necessity, so it will not be replaced.
- One completely cleaned, labeled and organized closet- torn apart, clothes pulled down, toys thrown in a large pile, blankets everywhere- 2 hours of my time.
Due to this constant destruction and lack of respect for one's personal property, this mama NEEDS a vacation!
On a more serious note: none of the breaking, ripping, tearing, coloring or destroying could ever make me love my amazing kids any less. I know it's a phase,(a very, very long one)and they will be slowing down the destruction very soon...at least I hope so!
