Frame This Moment - Drawing on the Porch

Happy Thursday!! And Frame This Moment Day!! Today's little moment is just a small snapshot from our little three year old whose creative heart is in full-swing over here... 

I mentioned yesterday that I have been trying to figure out an after preschool routine two days a week that might work for us this fall... Her little school ends a little too late for her to still take a good nap, but her little body still desperately needs some down time after a morning with friends, and Andy still needs to take an afternoon nap too, which leaves some time where meltdowns x2 can happen without much effort 😉 So one day I made Jane an after school snack, moved her little table to our porch on the most "fall" day we've had, and put out paper, markers, paint sticks, etc. She was OVER the moon about having a space to "create," and I had to snap this picture when I looked out our window. I wrote a little about our screened-in porch a few years ago here, and this was just a sweet addition to add to the memories for sure. Since then, it has become a bit of a "studio" for our little artist the past week or two... Paper, markers, paint smears on her desk, and it just always makes me smile. 

One afternoon, she lined up some drawings and wanted me to take a picture to "send to Daddy" of all of her creations that day haha Love this little one and her creative spirit. From drawings and watercolors to actually starting to color in pictures in her coloring book, it has been SO fun to watch her love for all things artistry grow...in this way, she most definitely takes after her Nana ☺️ So, I will be over here still trying to figure out new routines and rhythms, but soaking in the snapshots and moments as we make our way through this sweet fall season.

And there's just a little Frame This Moment for your Thursday!! Thanks as always for following along and for sharing yours too!! 

I'm going to take tomorrow off and enjoy this September weekend with the family, but I'll plan on seeing you back here next week!! As always, here's to enjoying the little things, celebrating the big things, and soaking in all the moments in-between!!
Sending lots of love!!
