Time to Relax

Monkey has an art class on Monday afternoons that she enjoys.  She has it with Friend Mia, so that is always fun.  And the girls have made some lovely things.  Last week, in addition to working with clay, they made paintings, and I thought Monkey’s was lovely:

While Monkey has her hour-long class, the little ones and I have time to play around.  We might look through any new art in the community center gallery, or read books together.  If the weather is nice, they’ll climb on the cement sculptures by Lake Anne, or, if I’m feeling free, we’ll go to the coffee shop.  Here’s how the Buster looked on one of our recent forays there:

That is one happy little man.
