Reynolds’ Artwork

May 20, 2015 by Michelle Filed Under: Being a Mom, Decorating/Remodeling 1 Comment

One thing I really love about sending Reynolds {and Eliza Jane} to daycare is that they do all kinds of artwork with the kids there.  Hand and foot prints are by far my absolute faves.

Yes, it’s a minor reason, but with all those prints, it’s pretty great!  How else am I supposed to be able to remember how small they really were one day, especially when Reynolds is staring down at me and I have a crick in my neck from looking up at him…  I’m telling you, the kid is going to grow up and be enormous.

Anyway, Sunday afternoon I was going through a stack of glue and paint {even marsh-mellowed} smeared construction paper, all from Reynolds’ classes and tried to think of some ideas to keep the really good ones.

This is the best picture-idea I’ve seen, and I haven’t completely decided, but I think I’m going to do something like this, that I found on Pinterest:

And yes, going up our stairwell…because right now, our stairwell is pretty blah, boring.  And currently I have no better ideas for it.  No, I don’t want a gallery of grade-school photos…sorry to you out there that do 😛  But being in my parents’ home and seeing my 1987 bangs and crooked front teeth make me want to protect my poor kids from bad trends and pre-braces.  Although, don’t get me wrong, Andrew and I…and of course my brother get a good kick out of those old photos.  And everyone loves a good poke of the remember whens. {Nike pumps, anyone?  Not me! My brother…}

Now the great debate is whether or not we should go to IKEA for the picture frames or just get the basic white ones from Michael’s or Hobby Lobby {waiting for the 40%-50% off of course}…  Any opinions out there?  Either about the frames or about what to do with all the artwork?  I don’t want to just stick it all in a box.  And something about having it go up the stairwell seems so much more cheerful and real-life like.

Happy hump day!
