Springville Art Museum

Clara's preschool class took a field trip to the Springville Art Museum this week.  They had a special exhibit with pictures of animals, which is what the preschool topic has been.  They had pamphlets there that explained about each picture.  The kids just thought it was a map and had a blast finding the picture to each artwork they were looking at.
The other cool thing about this exhibit is that they had things for the kids to make their own art.  Clara ran right over to the drawing section, and even hung her picture up.  When I told her that if she hung it up, she couldn't bring it home, she got excited and said, "That's ok.  This way EVERYBODY can see it and be so proud of me." 
Her picture is the one she is standing right beside.  There is a hand that is saying "I love you" in sign language.  There is a monster who is licking Clara, and has yummy treats on his tongue so that he won't eat Clara.  There are clouds with a sun, and then grass with LOTS of rocks underneath it.
The other kids had fun attempting to make origami animals.
Here is Hyrum with his origami puppy.
And here's all the kids in Clara's preschool class:
Also this week, our good friends came over with with twin baby boys to play with us for a little bit.  Clara LOVED those two little boys - almost to death.  It makes me so happy to know that she'll love this little boy that will be joining our family in a few months, even though she still claims to hate baby boys.
After they left, Clara has once again started singing, kissing, hugging, and talking to my tummy to be able to do all those things to baby brother.  See this post for another story.
