Grass Sculpture



Maddy's latest creation during Family Awesome Night (craft night) is pictured above and called a Grass Sculpture. Kind of looks like an insect, but no, it's  more of a boat per Maddy.  I helped a little as those pesky blades of grass were hard to wrangle.  

I love our little peanut's creativity!
