Art Museum w the Robletos

MFAH Summer Art Detectives

Ms. Erin came over and pick us up in her cool 12-passenger van!  We went with her sons:  Aria, Nathan and John, to the Museum of Fine Arts.  We got to see the special Light exhibit (no photos allowed), sketch art, play detective in the European Art Gallery, learn about the Artists Jacques-Raymond Brascassat, who painted realistic dogs and bulls; and Wassily Kansinsky who was inspired by Monet.  Finally, we got our tool box; this week we got a ruler.  Lincoln used it to measure an art book- 10 points, I mean 10 inches long.  We also ran into Ms. Joelle and John, our neighbors

there!

Then we picnicked at the sculpture garden... And saw John again!  He had lunch already so his mom got him an ice cream.

We finished our lunch and stopped by HEB for Mommy to pick up some ice cream for all of us.  We enjoyed them in our kitchen.  It was nice to cool off at home!

What a fun day!  Ms. Erin invited us to her house next week.  Yay!

Making daddy's birthday present

Gabriel's mommy invited us to Mad Potter- $2 off Tuesdays!  Mommy had lots of ideas like making a hand print tree for Daddy's birthday but of all the things there to paint, Lincoln picked out the sports car.  Lincoln chose a muted blue from the color chart- Gabriel chose to paint his jeep green and yellow.  

Afterwards Lincoln got to go crazy with his paint, paintbrushes, sponge, and water bowl - the table - and Lincoln was a hot mess!  Fun fun fun!

We cleaned up and the friendly ladies wrote Lincoln's name on the bottom of his blue BMW.  They're gonna glaze it and bake it and we get to pick it up in a few days.

Mommy took me to pick up the car the weekend before daddy's birthday- so that I wouldn't spill the beans.  

I wrapped it up all by myself with a Cars wrapping paper and "scotch tape".

Daddy loved his "first ash tray like" present.

Good job Lincoln!
