Art Pictures

Our tables, walls, fridge, etc., are overflowing with art.  It's exhausting.  I tend to look at them, keep most of them a few days, and "file" them.  Recently the children had a stack for Mike, though, and I told him to go through and take care of them and when he started opening them he saw some real beauty in them.  It's hard to keep them ALL but I did ask him to grab my phone and take pics of the ones with fun details or that were particularly heartfelt.

Here you go!

(Daddy liked this one because of the detail at the bottom...see Natalee's depiction of her easel with her on own side and Xavier on the other?)

Another from Xavier...we think a motorcycle?  He draws a lot of motorcycles!

I'll probably do this periodically...upload some of the children's art to be kept in our "online" scrapbook here as it does get overwhelming to keep them all.  I do occasionally snag a few to put in their yearly binders but at a rate of 3-5 each per day it's just a TON!  What do you do with your little artists' work?  Don't say keep it all and shame me to tears!

No! I do not keep it all. But I do take pictures of many pieces of artwork. These are precious--I especially got a kick out of the motorcycles! :)
