i have wanted to start this project for awhile.
but i was nervous.
yesterday i decided to
just do it!
i am letting the kids draw on the bathroom walls.
talby was unsure at first.
she drew a beautiful cat.
then a dinosaur with lots of kids riding on it’s back.
she looked at me and said “is daddy going to be mad?”
(hopefully not)
sean and scott drew more.
i plan on drawing it over with a black marker and maybe painting some of it.
she is working on the giraffe under the light switch.
a very original bathroom.
i love it already.
2 new pages i finished for talby’s book.
the “play” one is a bad pic. – bad lighting i guess.
for the play i painted green
then put letter stickers on
waited for it to dry
(i hate waiting)
then painted the white
THEN pulled off the letters
the ‘be’ words are rub-ons
i was giddy with myself.
i have seen this done many times but hadn’t tried it.
i will have to control myself to not have every title this way from now on.
just picking the patterns for the quilt side of this page made me
happy all afternoon.
i love color and patterns.
this was annie tonight.
she came outside
all on her own
in the plastic dress-up feather puffy high heels
into the driveway.
i said “HI!! what are you doing?”
she answered “i go’d to walmart and got M&M’s”
so matter-of-fact.
as if she really had.
and then we sat & shared imaginary M&M’s.
later we did go to walmart.
all 7 of us.
it was surprisingly pleasant.
they all brought their money & each picked a toy.
everyone was very happy.
(i did find it funny when we were ALL in the women’s underwear department together.)
craig then treated us to his special chocolate chip pancakes for dinner.
yummy.
