M6 ~ Grand Opening at the YMCA

Time to share your child's artwork again!
It's Magic Marker Monday!
ok, and call me crazy, go ahead, I dare you! Call me crazy!
But, it's also ...
Makes My Monday!
So, nothing better than taking two things that make me happy, my kids and artwork, and combining them to play along in two of my favorite bloggy memes...
Featured Artist:
Emma & Will
The town where my parents now live recently opened a YMCA and we attended their grand opening celebration with my parents, my siblings and our kids.
There were lots of fun things for the kids to do and lots of yummy snacks to eat.
But, the one thing that actually kept both Emma and Will busy was coloring in the toddler room.

It's not a big surprise to see Emma pick up crayons and color in a picture...
but, Will...
that is quite another thing!

He didn't color perfectly and he ate way more crayons then he decorated the picture, but still... it's a start and that Makes My Monday :)

Don't forget to head to 5MFSN to see who else is playing along for Magic Marker Monday and be sure to head to Twinfatuation to see what's Making everyone's Mondays :)

Awwwww, he's adorable! Our local children's museum has an art room similar to the one in your pics and my kids go crazy in it...they just love it! Looks like you all had fun!

I'm having a giveaway on my blog for a Lullaby CD...stop by and check it out!

I just love seeing kids keep busy (and out of trouble!). ;)

I think its a boy/girl thing, too. Sarah loves to color...will color every square inch of a picture and will be content for at least 20 minutes doing just that...Jacob gets in about 4 scribbles and is done and on to something else...

I used to love to color as a kid! I sometimes love to pick up a crayon and color along with them!

Cheryl Lage said...

I'm with Barbara...still love to color and seeing your kiddos having such fun makes me want to pull out the crayons!

thanks so much for playing along, Debi!

Renata said...

Oh that is so cute! Glad Will is enjoying colouring!
By the way what is YMCA?

Childlife said...

Go Will! So great to see him having some crayon fun! :D

Emma's becoming quite the proficient little artist, isn't she?

Happy MMM!
