My 30th birthday party at Mom & Dad's
Angela, Me holding Adelle, Amanda holding Lola
We made a Pierce-size scarecrow, that I have yet to make a head for.
Pierce turned 4
Adelle is 5 months with two little chicklet teeth.
We went to a great pumpkin patch with our homeschool group.

Lots of big things are happening, I just have very little time to write about them. As I speak the baby is sleeping and the big kids are eating lunch and I inhaled some leftover sweet potato fries before I tackle this house ... again. I read another blog of a homeschool mom with four kids (a little bit older than mine). She's super artistic and creative. Her kids do all kinds of special projects and experiments. She paints. Right now she's on a coffee cup kick and they're so cute. I want to paint some and hang them all over my kitchen and dining room. But I don't paint. I know we all have different gifts and talents. I'm not usually big on comparing myself to others. But I do always think other people have it all together and must be doing everything way better than me. Yes, I do have four children under the age of 5. And this week after all the lovely hay at the pumpkin patch my allergies have taken a turn for the worst. Being under the weather always leads to lack of motivation.
Anyway, the kids are done eating lunch and are now all pretending to be puppies. The volume in this house just went way up. I think I'll send them out to the yard for a while. :)

What's the name of the blog? I want to see her paintings.
We should make a girl scarecrow.
Nevermind, I found her. Those are really cute. Surely you could do that!
I think I'm going to try!
Darlin', you crack me up.
I cried this morning out of frustration. And I hate that my poor husband just switched to night shift, and isn't here for bedtime. I'm ticked off that my favorite jeans don't fit anymore. And I screwed up not one, but TWO paintings today. :/ And you know I am -not- a perfectionist when it comes to paintings.
Don't compare yourself to me. I do crafty things because it's my therapy when I get stressed. :) It's out there to encourage others to get hands-on; not to make anyone feel less-than-perfect.
For the record, I just started painting this year. I never even attempted it (or thought of attempting it) when my oldest was 5-years old.
You are an inspiration. Don't forget it.
And art is just awesome as a process... don't worry about not knowing how. I own oils, and don't even know how to get started with them. Just get messy and have fun. :)
And Happy late Birthday!!
And I've always thought YOU had it together and wished I could take lesson! =)
