Unexpected ... SURPRISE!

Every time I go shopping, Carmen expects a "surprise"...

But she doesn't only like receiving surprises... she likes to give them too.

On Wednesdays we normally walk to school.

She always picks up rocks, flowers, and things.. I always convince them to get rid of them before getting home, but this last wednesday she kept saying:"They are for my project!"...

I asked her what her project was, but she didn't know at that point.

Anyway... I saw her playing with some stuff but I didn't really piad much attention to what she was doing.

But this is what she made.

I think it is lovely.

I think SHE is lovely.

She presented to me as a surprise.

I love how many times I'm "surprised" by her.

I'm so proud of her. I hope this little thing lasts for years.

It is amazing to me how she perceives beauty.

It is amazing to me how she made something so beautiful out of a rock, a pine cone and a little red wild fruit....

I think it is amazing how I could make something so beautiful as HER!
