Art is for touching, not looking...

"Mom, could you take me to the art museum sometime?" Sure Alexa I've never been myself, but you know you can only look at the art museum, you can't touch anything. "never mind then"

The Earth is not your trash can!

"Stop the car! I need to pick that mess up...I can't believe someone would litter on Earth day!"

Mother's are always in charge :)

Tonight's car conversation:

Alexa: "This sun is so bright I can hardly stand it!"

Me: "Don't complain, it has rained so much this year already and will be back on sunday"

Alexa: "Well, rain makes the flowers grow and I guess Mother Nature is just in charge here"

Me: "ya, I guess so, but wish she'd give us some warmth instead"

Alexa: "well, I always thought God, Jesus or the President was in charge, but I guess Mothers have more power"

Becoming a Woman...

"I"m trying to become a woman Momma...You know, it's not that easy afterall. Makeup, wearing clothes all the time and having to look pretty...geez"

The Brown Rainbow...

Alexa is learning how to play "Somewhere over the Rainbow" on the piano. Her piano teacher was shocked that Alexa had never seen Wizard of Oz...so we rented it :)

She started watching today and I said so...are you excited? and she said....

"I can't watch this, there is something wrong with the disc! It's all brown and stuff! Rainbows are supposed to be colorful not brown!"

I guess I should have introduced her to "Black and White" beforehand ;)

Something Stinky About this Project...

"Mom, I chose skunk for my animal project at school. In order to really understand it and get to know it, I'm going to need one as a pet" "Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

Mud Masterpiece....

"This isn't just mud Momma...it's art! I'm a total masterpiece right now..."
