Spring at school

The kindergartners have been making spring flowers and bugs 🙂

Wall 1

These were painted with a light blue paint wash, then a light purple one.

Daffodils, made with paper, a single egg carton cup painted yellow, and a chenille stem.

Poppies made by sticking colored tissue paper squares onto waxed paper with watered-down glue, then cutting out the flower shape.

Wall 2

Ducks and frogs (the base was an egg shape because it was Easter time) and birds and butterflies, with a couple grasshoppers floating on leaves in the pond.

Wall 3

Beehives with bees! The body is a thumb dipped in yellow paint, the head is a pinkie tip dipped in black paint, and the wings, stripes and stingers are drawn on.

And a group of dragonflies hanging from the ceiling.

So fun to see their interpretations of some of God’s beautiful creations!

Sun

A cool shot into the sun that my sister took

~ Took these pics of sunflowers on a bright, sunny day 😀 Can you see the bee on the last three?

Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:

~ Pictures taken by our family at the Getty Villa in Los Angeles

Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.

Hills

~ Some pictures I took of the beautiful Colorado Rockies 🙂

For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In His hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is His also.

~ Psalm 95:3-4 ~

Clouds

This picture I took in Colorado

He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

~ Job 26:8 ~

Saint Patrick’s Day

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

~ 1 John 5:7 ~

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

~ 2 Corinthians 13:14 ~

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

~ Irish blessing ~
