New Life Eggs 2010

This year we only did a dozen new life eggs and Gabbi was with us to add her artistic touch as well. Enjoy!

Getting all the gear together. We used a Betty Crocker gel coloring that was very “neat”, no worries about spills like with those tiny squeeze bottles.
We had primary colors and then neon purple, pink, green, and orange. Isabel dipped all but 4 eggs; Gabbi added her personal touch to 3 and Gino did a very “special” one!

After Isabel dipped all her eggs, she drew on a few.

By this time all the eggs were done except for Gino’s “special” egg. Gabbi decided to dye a shirt, which turned out really cool.

Gino working on his “special” egg…can you tell what it is???

Without eggs we would not have life; without Jesus we would not have new life!
Happy Resurrection Sunday!

Building Blocks

Tonight Isabel got the blocks out and started building and as she was building she started to tell a story of what she was building. Enjoy!

“This is a fruit store (not to be confessed with a fruit stand). People buy fruit here. The building on the right is the store and it has a chimney on the roof. It has banana’s out front (the yellow box) and steps because it’s raised up off the ground and people need to get into the store. The man on the green block is a worker, he helps the people when they come to the fruit store. The man inside the building (on the left), that is his house, he has a chimney on his house too, and he makes fruit cookies from the fruit at the store and gives them to people.” Isabel says.

“This is a bakery, people get pies here and only pies. It has steps because it’s raised up off the ground and people need to get pies. When people come to the bakery, the workers come and give you slices of pie. The green slides on the right are for the workers who work at the bakery for when they get bored. They can slide on the slide.” Isabel says.

Drawing Class

After dinner tonight, we went to drawing “class” with Isabel. We each took a turn at the easel drawing a picture of something.  Enjoy!

This is Isabel “giraffe”.

I got to draw too but no one took a picture of it! Which is fine by me because I’m not an artist, all I drew was a refrigerator and it wasn’t all that good.
