At home Art Show

Over the past few days, the kids have all been bringing home lots of stuff from school. Only 3 more days of school left til summer after all. Name tags, gym clothes, and my favorite, artwork, have all come through the door.
Yesterday we were fortunate to have both grandmothers here, 3 piles of artwork and 3 grandchildren who were in good moods. 
I know, it's like the stars aligned or something.
So what did we do?
Impromptu art show/show & tell of course.
If I ever dared to homeschool, this is what I like to imagine it would be like.  Ebby, Will & Cuyler, taking turns, eloquently talking about the creating several varied pieces of artwork to a small, but loving audience.  Passing the treasures around so everyone could get a closer look, answering questions and sharing.  Of course in my fantasy the children would have baked refreshments, combining math, science and artistry in the kitchen for all to enjoy.  They may have even done a writing and art lesson and made and mailed out invitations.  Perhaps we'd go so far as to rent formal wear and a microphone.
But really, our little show was perfect just as it was : )

Listen, those are some talented kids you've got. Bubbe & Nana looking a little worse for the wear (Bubbe especially). God, I keep forgetting I'm a grandmother. The art show was WONDERFUL. creative, engaging, proud were those three wonderful kids. Yep, my 'get. I know they get their looks from you but the showmanship from ME. Great job, all!!! Love, Bubbe
