Refridgerator Art

At Kate's school, the teachers and kids do arts and crafts several times a week.  They do a lot of holiday/time of year related crafts.  We literally got three painted hearts that Kate made for Valentine's Day and a painted shamrock for St. Patty's Day.  They display the artwork all over the room so the kids get to enjoy their very own masterpieces which also decorate and provide vibrant, bright, and ever changing wall art.

Hearts.

Shamrock...that may or may not have ripped when I
let Kate hold on to it...

I love that the school Kate attends is so hands on with the children and teaching and holidays.  I really do, but I have a very hard time throwing these lovely pieces of art away.  If I keep them all, Kate is going to end up with 37 bins of artwork before she's in middle school.  And, let's get real, technically she's not really doing the art work.  You get what I'm saying?

Still, it is a big dilemma for me that I have yet to solve.  So, in the meantime, I try to display Kate's lovely pieces of art (that aren't too outdated) on our fridge.  (And by outdated I mean the Valentine's Day hearts that we got mid-March and the shamrock that we got early-April.)

This is our very first piece!

Yeah, it's a first edition.

I can guarantee you that Kate's art will be posted on our fridge, throughout our house, and even in our work spaces for many, many years to come!

We are going to need a lot of bins...

PS: Kate is officially sitting up!!!

PPS: I use "school" and "daycare" interchangeably but "school" is a lot easier for me.  While I am not with Kate during the day, I tell myself that she is in school - learning, socializing, playing.  Daycare just sounds so bland and boring, and where we are sending Kate is anything but that.  Sometimes it makes not being with her during the day easier...sometimes.
