Make a Messterpiece Music Time

The theme this time at Make a Messterpiece in Glenview was musical art.

He got to put paint on a xylophone, play it, then it was placed on musical note paper so it looked like he designed a song.

Really concentrating on his song

We have no idea!

He made an edible microphone. Its made out of an ice cream cone, food coloring, and rice krispie treat.

He did the drum painting again, this is what he has to wear into the place.

Look What Molly Learned

Molly had learned to climb all the way to the top of the stairs! Now there is no stopping her, unfortunately.

Checking it out for the first time.

I'm not doing anything

This is pretty cool

So that's how you get up here all the time big brother

Stair bonding time

Move out of my way!

Last week we went to Lego land and had such a great day. We rode the dragon ride only once, the other ride 3 times, watched all 3 4-D Lego movies, saw how lego bricks are made, learned how to build the Sears Tower, played in the jungle gym, and of course built with Legos. Matthew made friends with 3 ten or twelve year old girls in the jungle gym. I looked over at him and he was sitting on their laps and they were tickling him. I guess he's a ladies man.
