One of my favorite things in the whole world are the creations that my children create for me. I have adorned my kitchen windowsill with all of the different collectibles throughout the years. I love to look at them as I stand at the sink and do my dishes. Kayla came home with the mother of all loads the other day. Apparantely in the 6th grade they create what are called "ugly jugs". They are water pitchers made to look really grotesque and hideous. Kayla knows how much I love pigs and so she created an ugly pig for me. I absolutely LOVE it. If you click on the picture you can see it in greater detail. These are my greatest material possesions and I will continue to treasure them as my children get older.

I love the ugly pig...it's so great! I love the details with the single tooth and it's tongue sticking out. It's actually so cute! Your kids are so talented!
i should follow your good example...I've been known to "misplace" some of my kids creations! good for you, they look cute in the window.
KAYLA, nice work on the pig!
You are such a great mom! Kayla's pig is great. I think she has talent!

Love the ugly-pig. That is great. I can't at for my kids to start doing these kinds of art projects. We are still in the painting and coloring phase and I love displaying those.
Becky, you are the greatest mom, with the proper idea of what it means to be a mom. You value what is important and for that my hat goes off to you. I think your house must be so full of love and laughter, even with so many health challenges. It's fun to read your funny stories.
I love the ugly pig! I also love reading your blogs!
Love from the other side of the continent--from Cheryl's sis-in-law/Elder Erik's mom (he'd say "tell Stevie HI!)

Wow. That is truly heinous. Way to go Kayla!
Hey B.O.--tell your daughter that the next time she sculpts a likeness of me, I expect her to ask my permission first!
