Ellie's Artwork

Haiku

Ellie had to write a Haiku for school.

Snow

I like hot chocolate

When it is freezing outside

I like icy snow

Little Bits

At Christmas, I gave Ellie her first electronics set called Little Bits. On this night, I gave her a challenge to have the LED turn on when she turned out the lights.  It only took her a few minutes to put it together and then we tested her creation in her bedroom.  When she turned out the lights, her kit lights came on.  She was so excited that she created this all by herself.  Cooper wanted in on the fun and he turned on and off the lights many, many times.

Building

We purchased some big rolling drawers for under Cooper’s bed.  They looked simple to put together but Ellie and Copper both though I needed help.

Cooper style

Ellie has these big pads of paper that have a blank body on them to create people.  On this one, she wanted to draw Cooper and then came up with his style all on her own.

Lake - Part 2

During our holiday, Ellie spent most of her time in the water or on the water.  She was excited to find out that we could take the boat to the end of the lake and get ice cream, which we did twice this trip!  She even drove the boat back to the house. Her driving was much better then Cooper’s, who made us go in cirlces! 

Sea Biscuit

Last year at the lake, Ellie rode in the sea Biscuit with her friends.  Since it was their first time they all took it easy and fun.  This year it was very different.  When two of them rode together they went fast and bumped over the wake a few times.  Then Ellie wanted to go faster and knowing that she loves roller coasters, they gave us a good ride.  Ellie had a blast! (Daddy did also!) Thanks Victoria for taking great pictures!
