Art Day With Auntie Em

Auntie Em surprised us today with a visit. We haven't seen her in a while, so Peter was so excited!! He had the best time playing with her.
They started out with play dough. Once Peter was finished, he told Auntie Em to finish making her pizza and then clean up. He sounded just like I do when I ask him to finish what he's doing and then clean up. I guess he does listen after all...While Peter found paper and glue, Auntie Em hung out with Danielle. I'm sure Danielle was sharing some really good secrets with her.


Peter loves glue, so he was very excited when Auntie Em agreed to help him with the glue. Peter and I usually just glue paper - Auntie Em was way more fun! She let Peter glue rice. :)


Peter drew a picture with glue and then used his measuring cup to pour rice on the glue. He had a hard time realizing that he had used enough rice once the glue was covered, so we had quite a bit of extra rice covering the kitchen table!


After playing with glue and rice, we moved onto scissors. Peter has been wanting to use scissors for a long time. He finally got his chance today. Auntie Em tried to show him how to use them, and he really did try. She tried to help him cut hearts at his request - they turned out a bit rough on the edges, but Peter was really proud of himself.

Auntie Em - Thanks for stopping by today! Come visit anytime!!!
***Please note...this post is actually being written on the day it occurred. This NEVER happens anymore - guess that's life with two little ones who almost never nap at the same time. Thanks to the pool this morning, they are both taking wonderful naps at the same time today!!!
