Today was a great day at school. We had “art day” where the kids visited stations with different artist all day. My students really loved the drum man. There was also a moment during lunch when one student attempted to join the band that was playing. I have such awesome students! One artist at school today was Ernest Lee, the chicken man. I had already planned on buying one of his pieces to put in the nursery. He is known for painting chickens and palmetto trees. Today before his presentation I was looking at his artwork. He noticed I was pregnant so real quickly painted a flamingo and put a baby in its beak to look like a stork. He asked me if it was a girl and I said yes so he painted “Its a girl” on the top. He signed it for me and told me to pick out a few more. I have two that I want to put up in the nursery. I can’t wait to hang them!

I LOVE the chicken man!! The palmetto tree in our kitchen is an Ernest Lee & we have a chicken one in O’burg that I need to retrieve. That is SO cool that he painted something just for you!!! What a neat story for Kennedy.
