\u201cSpring\u201d, huh? Then why is there a turkey on the left?<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing I\u2019ve been grateful for as I go through tons of parental possessions was to NOT find every single little thing that their darling offspring have ever produced as children\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026until I came across this pile of kindergarten images created by their first-born.<\/span><\/p>\n

Admittedly, I can\u2019t draw to save my life, but I DID find a few of these to be somewhat interesting, if for no other reason than the coloring.<\/span><\/p>\n

The paper is so fragile that it\u2019s a mess to clean up after trying to count them, but I think the total is around 70. Some of them say \u201cAM\u201d and some \u201cPM\u201d on them, which must be the half-day kindergarten sessions. Others have obvious teacher\u2019s handwriting on them and a couple have a cutout added that could not have been scissored by a 5-year-old.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve selected 14 of them, starting with obvious Spring images.<\/span><\/p>\n

I actually like this one for some reason, but it\u2019s REALLY falling apart:<\/span><\/p>\n

A bakery! (I think I deserve an extra donut for that hat):<\/span><\/p>\n

BTW – this is the only one of the 14 with an adult-written date on the back: 3-3-53.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On a less-appetizing note, here are some trees that appear to be up to their armpits in, um……….fertilizer<\/em>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Now you know why I take<\/em> pictures instead of trying to paint<\/em> or draw<\/em> them.<\/span><\/p>\n

(BTW – our very nice kindergarten teacher\u2019s name was Miss Baum. You think 5-year-olds didn\u2019t have fun with that<\/em> name?)<\/span><\/p>\n
