Discovering Mommy’s Art Box

I haven’t gone into my tackle box of art supplies in a long time so the boys hadn’t seen the contents. I should have opened it a long time ago as L quickly broke out the calligraphy nibs and ink. X, eager to try as well but I only had one holder for the nibs. He simply grabbed one of the feathers from his collection on the window sill, dipped it into the well of ink and started writing it old school. Kewl stuff, my boys.

Gotta love being a kid. That glorious time before life has put up imaginary boundaries on your intuitive ways of problem solving. So free and full of life and all the wonders it offers!

The Talmud

Every blade of grass has its Angel that bends over it and whispers, “Grow, grow”.

(Found in The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. It’s what I should have been doing all along but somehow got sidetracked after graduating from art school. Ironic.
I’ve always wanted to be an artist. Nothing else has really stuck.)

Little Man’s Baptism today!

We finally got our act together to get the Xman baptized. Whew! He was a little reluctant at first but when I told him there would be a little celebration afterward with cake he was all for it. He did great at the church, no shyness at all. Really proud of my boy. It was a wonderful day, weather and all.

Here are a few pics for now. Will post more when I have time to edit!

Oh, and the boys LOVE the telescope – they could hardly wait to use it! Thank you, Godparents! 🙂

~Blessings~

This last one is an iPhone shot of the leaves on the trees out the boys window with the telescope. Just incase it’s hard to tell… 😉
