Ellie as a Monet

For one of my assignments at school I had to bring in a picture and recreate it using another artist's style. I chose to try and recreate a photo of Ellie in Monet's style. It is not completely done, but I really like the way it is turning out and wanted to share it. I will re-post it when I have finished it, but for now... enjoy this sneak preview.

Ellie's favorite food is....

BROWNIES!

This morning as I was getting ready for school Ellie brought me a brownie mix and asked if we could make them. I told her that maybe we could make them after I got home from school. She was disappointed with my answer and asked if I could stay home. Unfortunately that was not an option, so off to school I went leaving a sad Ellie holding a brownie mix in her arms. It made me wish that I could ditch out on school that day. When I went to pick her up from grandma's house the first thing she said to me was, "Can we make brownies?" Of course I told her yes, but we had to wait until after dinner.

After dinner Ellie ran into the kitchen and put on the apron aunt Eileen made her and exclaimed, "Get me a chair mom, I want to help!" I let her do all the mixing, just look at that concentration!

Of course you can't make brownies and not lick the spoon.
