Fine motor skills

Kierstyn got a late birthday present yesterday--an art set. What a perfect gift! Art in progress. Stage 1:

Stage 2:The final masterpiece "Sunset"
And while Sis was working on her fine motor skills, Trev had to fine tune his as well. This time it was an old walkman that was "operated" on.

Well she certainly has an eye for color! What does the rest of this masterpiece look like?

And I cannot wait until C is old enough to really get into exploring like T. We are giving him some more tools for his tool bench for his b'day, but right now the tools are large and plastic, some with lights and sounds. :)

I love the artwork. And, you are a fabulous photographer. I'm amazed you felt 'inadequate!' I've been inspired by so many of your pictures and only wish I could capture some of the things you do!

And, I just love that Trev takes things apart. It is a fun little glimpse into his personality!

That is a beautiful sunset!! I love it. Do you just get things for the little man to work on like that?! I can't imagine my kids ever sitting down and taking apart anything like that to explore it with given consent from me. Of course, I did it all the time growing up. And now I can actually fix my own vacuum cleaner most of the time.

No recommendations for the cabin. We have yet to go, although that would be interesting to go and learn the history of it since my maiden name is Payne. Hmmmm. Fall Break.... staying home and (hopefully) spending time with Great Grandma & Great Grandpa who should be on their way driving from OR. Have fun!!

Such crafty and handy kids! I wonder who they get it from????

Looks like you have a "budding" artist and a tinkerer (does that make sense?)

Grant mostly only paints rainbows now because that's what K painted when she was here....loving all this creative play!

Jennifer,
You've inspired me. I'm going to let Logan bust open our old CD player! I love your blog!
