The Life of an Artist

Ah, Saturday!  Here's our artist, creating masterpieces with her dot pens.  Her basic technique involves: 

1.  Taking a coloring sheet (pictured here are the tools from Handy Manny).
2.  Covering every square inch of the images with whatever color she wants.

Here you can see she's entered her "yellow" period.  She knows what she's doing - try to offer her a different color as she fills the page, and she'll insist that she continues with whatever it is she has in her hands.  She uses all of the colors - even knows some of their 
names - and hangs her favorite drawings up on the refrigerator when she's done.  We're going to need to get a bigger refrigerator!

Tomorrow, all her grandparents are coming back!  Of course, Daddy's parents live next door - but they've been on a trip to Colorado and the Grand Canyon for the last few weeks, and are returning tomorrow.  Madison can't wait to see Ye-ye and Ni-ni again!

Also coming by are Mommy's parents - Ba-ba and Nana, who are visiting from Florida.  Madison will be thrilled!  As we cleaned up the house a bit today, we found this fez below.  I couldn't resist posting this picture here:
