Flags and Valentines

Maddie had to make a flag for a school project, and they were going to be here the weekend before it's due.  So, I did what all Nana's do - I searched Pinterest and found an easy one using beadboard.  Pop and Maddie headed to the shop and cut it out!  I am pleased to say that she did most all of the painting herself.

Lillian also joined in on the fun!  She was super excited that she finished her flag first!

Lots of serious expressions and concentration!

Lillian actually did a great job!  She didn't stop until every stripe was complete! Maddie's took a little longer, so she took a couple of tv breaks!!

Soon, it was complete!  We were all quite pleased with this project!  She was a little worried until she pulled off the painters tape!

Her mom helped cut out the stars, but she proudly put them in place!  Uncle C said he thought it looked too good for a first grader, but I promise she did it!!!  God Bless America!

Lots of fun on Valentine's morning!!  

Who  in the world gave those sweet babies candy??

This one doesn't get a lot of candy, so it's safe to say he was a just a little wired!!  He loved it!!!  He also ran in a circle through the house for quite some time! Love this little one so much!!
