Church Art

Saige was drawing a lovely, scenic picture today during sacrament meeting-you know the one-the top inch of the page is blue for the sky, the bottom inch is green for the grass, the middle has a few flowers and maybe a sun. Here is the conversation that occurred when Trent looked over to see her picture:

Trent: "What's this down here?"
Saige: "Grass"
Trent: "What's this blue up here?"
Saige: "Sky"
Trent: "What's in the middle?"
Saige: "Lines" (She was drawing on lined notebook paper.)
Trent: "But what's between the grass and the sky?" 

Saige proceeded to add mountains to her picture between the grass and the sky.

Trent: "What's between the mountains and the sky?"
Saige: "Air"
Trent: "Well, what's air?
Saige: "Um, sky?"
Trent: "Yeah"

She then filled in all the white space with blue.

It turned out to be a very lovely picture, but my very favorite picture ever drawn by Saige is this one (also drawn during sacrament meeting):



She drew this when she was 3 and a half years old. It was me watching her draw this one and I could not stop laughing. I watched as she drew a body, hair, two big circles with dots in the middle for eyes, two big circles with dots in the middle for...hmmm...

Me: "Who's that picture of?"
Saige: "Me, when I'm a grown-up."
Me: "What are those?"
Saige: "My muscles."

BEST PICTURE EVER!

So, is this one of those blogs that need to be flagged for questionable content? :) You've got to love kids and their innocent honesty.

Hopefully she won't be too strong. . .

That's great! Courtney really wants to be a mommy so she can "chest bumps" too. Apparently it only happens when you have kids. ;)
