Blue Ribbons!!!

Kylie and Brayden had the opportunity to enter a few art projects at the Louisa County Fair.

The kids and I went to visit Grandma and Grandpa for the week, since Brett had to work at the Oshkosh Airshow. Our week at Gma and Gpa's coincided with Louisa County Fair and Grandma thought it would be fun for the kids to enter a couple of their art projects, and what fun it was indeed!!!!

Kylie entered 3 paintings for the Children's Expressive Arts expose

She won "Judge's choice" "Best of class" and a Blue ribbon for this absolutely beautiful picture that she actually painted when she was 31/2 years old!!!
The judge was impressed with Kylie's choice of multiple bright colors.

This is a painting that Kylie made for Grandma and Grandpa-- Christmas 2009.
She won a blue ribbon for it!!!
Kylie used glitter pens to draw this picture and it is one of my favorites!
She also won a blue ribbon for this picture and let's not forget about the cash....Yes, there was some cash to be made at the fair and from all the awards she received, Kylie earned a grand total of $9, which I am sure she will love spending on our next mother-daughter shopping spree!
Brayden had entered a project as well!!
His was a snow man picture he made this winter.
The judges liked that he used a multitude of cut-out shapes to create the picture and the use of markers and crayons to color it in.

Brayden won a Blue ribbon for his picture and a cash price of $2. :)
We are so PROUD of our little darlings!!! Good work pumpkins!!!!
