She is pleased with it (it is pink) and it has increased her longing for the snow to come. I can't say I have the same sentiments. She has drawn the scene she imagines will happen. She had to match the pink crayons he was using exactly with the actual suit!UmSuhayb b Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03587563811118131949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154995554987224905.post-82130096033150600152011-08-18T09:12:00.000-07:002011-08-18T09:12:42.938-07:00What do you do with your kids' art?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhh9mlE8OoB16paTqOBBQZVaAg7cAY5W5UouO3Q94NxPSHHg3YMrwsicdY2br8QlIX6kJdD1aI7r_3c4ekZ4RDh7Vw0q1EhHz0qlWfVMfv78PIz77PC4roqrXnMFXtEi-VlyOxzUbdnMK2/s1600/img001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhh9mlE8OoB16paTqOBBQZVaAg7cAY5W5UouO3Q94NxPSHHg3YMrwsicdY2br8QlIX6kJdD1aI7r_3c4ekZ4RDh7Vw0q1EhHz0qlWfVMfv78PIz77PC4roqrXnMFXtEi-VlyOxzUbdnMK2/s320/img001.jpg" width="197" /></a></div>By Muhammad, about 3 or 4 years old- a page from a story he made up, dictated to me and illustrated.<br />

This has been on the hall wall in a frame for years, as it always brought a smile to my face. It had survived various assaults, as people whizzed past it, but it was for DH, attacking an annoying housefly, to remove it permanently from the wall.<br />
So hanging them on the wall is an option, even in a proper frame. But where else can they go? I mean that children can produce exponetial amounts of pictures, some that are worthy of retention, some are barely indistinguishable marks which will soon be used as a shopping list. In my house they first reside on top of my microwave, until I read the latest Fly Lady email saying to declutter a 'hotspot'. In these terms, my microwave's upper surface is a towering inferno. Then they get shoved in one of the under-bed boxes until I have a yearly sift through. But what happens when these boxes are full? Well mine are pretty-much bursting- but I've always been meaning to scan and upload the pictures I want to keep, and so this blog was born!<br />
Another note- remember to write down the name of the artist and date as you'll<i> never</i> remember.<br />
