Summer Week 7

Sunday
We went to church.  Ava wore one of her new outfits we bought the night before when we went shopping.  


We came home to find Miley sound asleep in her favorite spot at the bottom of our bed cuddled up around the folded laundry.


Monday-Friday
This was a pretty boring week.  Karen Latimer and I had a 3 day workshop about common core reading to attend.  Carol and her family were at the beach all week.  Carol kept texting us pictures of the beach while we were in this workshop so we sent her a picture of us and all the fun we were having.  HA!


While all the neighbors were out of town and I was at workshops, the girls went to art camp.  The last day of the camp was Friday, and we got to come to an art show to see what the girls did all week.


They painted self portraits.



They took a walk to downtown Arlington and painted a building down there.  Elia painted the old barn.


Ava painted the tree in the middle of the square.


Elia painted the church where the art camp was held.  


They also painted a table of fruit.  Here is Elia's fruit:

They also painted a picture of a dog.  Elia's dog:

Their favorite project was the 3-D buildings they colored with chalk and then glued on to the black board with wood glue.  Elia's was very neat and orderly.


And of course, Ava's turned out very abstract:


After the art show on Friday, we went to Michelle's to swim.  The kids had a blast.



They had fun jumping off the side and into the hole of the float.  





That Friday was the day our Arlington Taco Bell opened.  Carol and I picked some up for dinner that night and we had a little Taco Bell picnic in the cove.


Saturday
Carol and I went and got our nails done.  We got this very pretty peach color!  Great summer color!


Sunday
After art camp, Ava had the "art bug" so I went to Michael's and got her some art supplies.  Ava got her ipod and found a YouTube video where a guy shows you step by step how to paint a landscape.




Here is her final product:
