Entry's from the Woog's farm journal:





This weekend I want to try and take in a night of star watching. Hopefully we'll get a clear night!

You can see my visual account of the weekend here.

This is the second entry in the Woog's farm journal. She saw, what she claims to be. her first firefly, but she's seen them before. It was about to storm so we couldn't catch any but plan to this weekend. She likes it hilarious that their "bottoms light up."



The next day she found a little snail and wanted to draw it along with a nice big tree.


We also hung her a swing from the tree in the front yard that you can see here.

Our Woogie Wednesdays will be turning into Woogie Weekends this summer and probably continue from now on. Since the Woog will start Kindergarten in the fall, Wednesdays will be full of school work during the day and church a night. We'll see what we can fit in during Wednesdays though.

This summer we've decided to spend our weekends on my grandparent's farm, enjoying the outdoors while doing some improvements to the farm house. I blogged about this more on my blog if you wanted to know more.

These weekends will consists of different "art" projects for the Woog and I. This past weekend was our first weekend and we both started an illustrated journal to document our summer. She didn't get into it as much as I did but still drew some pictures about what she saw as we explored the farm.

I forgot to post this over here on Wednesday but the Woog and I worked on an Earth Day project for Woogie Wednesday:

Today the Woog wanted to make a bumble bee so I started out with a sketch this time which was totally art directed by her. It need to be a girl and hove make-up:



She started out painting and stamping some paper:



And then decided to play cowgirl and left the rest up to me. I did 2-D work on the body and then added various 3-D elements. Here's how it turned out:

It's Wednesday and we stayed in today so we had time for a Woogie Wednesday project. We finally got around to making a unicorn (since we abandoned our one from before) and these were the parts we used (plus a few more small add-ons later):



She did all the "rainbow" painting and I did the embellishments. It turned out to be more of a pegasus than a unicorn. When it all dries she will put it in "her studio."

Finally, a snippet of what we worked on last week. Last Thursday it was the Woog's turn for a "I am special" board at Mother's Day Out. The Parents put them together and then the kids share it with their friends to learn more about them. This is just a small area of the board since it included pictures of friends and family members and I don't want to post their images online without their knowledge. She did help a little with the board but mainly helped with the art direction of it all. I think it turned out really cute and will be a great keepsake for her. I think it kind of scared the other mothers into thinking that they had to do the same. I'm going to get in so much trouble when the Woog starts doing science projects!

Today's WW didn't really happen because she found an old toy she had forgotten about and played with it ALL morning. Maybe next week!
