These are Eva’s contributions to the Kids ATC Swap. She really enjoyed participating–making her own art and then receiving envelopes from around the world. I’m so glad that Blair and Erin put it together. Thanks guys–900 swappers is a lot of work!
I totally expected Eva to choose collage for her medium, as she had been doing a lot of that around Christmas. Instead, she went with pencil drawing of presidents and American-ish stuff, I think highly influenced by recent subjects at school. Parents, we never know, but we are always tickled. So there you have it: Abe Lincoln, George Washington, Barak Obama, the American flag, and the Statue of Liberty.
Also related to famous historic figures, Elie and Eva made some kick-butt Hamentaschen this weekend. Mmmm-mmm. Purim is on Tuesday, and this is how we’re marking the occasion. In case you’re not familiar with them, Hamentaschen are cookies that are shaped like Hamen’s (a wicked, wicked man) hat. The centers are filled with something tasty and sweet. Elie’s favorite filling is poppyseed, so we have a lot of that, and our Hamentashen are made with bread dough and not cookie dough. You could do it either way.

Hag Purim Sameach!
We’ve been loving our kids’ ATC swap packages, too! I am totally obsessed with ATCs now. I’ve already joined a couple for myself over at Craftster and I’m thinking of hosting a parent/child ATC swap from my personal blog.
