We had a fun day of Tye Dying! I think the boys had so much fun with the colors and the rubber bands! Their shirts came out pretty awesome, too!

Wii Boxing Fun!

The boys playing Wii boxing. Camden stripped off the Buzz light year suit because they were both jumping around so much he said he was getting hot. LOL. Today they asked if they could put on their costumes and play again. Something about playing in a costume helps them do better. LOL.

This blog...

*****Edited****** Thank you all for your wonderful comments! I have decided to continue with this blog. I don't have time to update two and I really would like to focus on one! I appreciate the comments about raising children in a creative way, and I'm striving to do that every day! Thanks SO much everyone! I'm glad to know that there are folks out there that enjoy my blog!

---------------
This blog has somehow morphed into my daily adventures with the kids and I've left out my art, which was what this blog was all about to begin with. I'm making a change and will be only showing my art on this blog from now on. :) Of course if I make art with the kids that will be featured too. Bear with me while I get used to this change. My posts may be few and far between.

Ella's Photo Shoot

I did a photo shoot today for Ella's First Birthday Invite. Although we are just having a small party with family, I still wanted to do an invite, as a keepsake for her scrapbook (when I ever get to THAT!)... and... well just because!


The bunny pose...


The cute clapping pose...


The fairy princess in the grass pose...


And my favorite... she was laughing at her daddy...


But I chose to use it in black and white since the rest of her invite was in color!

And I'll show the invite when it gets closer to the bday. :)

That's it for tonight, going to watch Freaks and Geeks with Joe now! :)

Finished the Art Quilt


Photos by: Jessica Chapman


Joe played in a softball tournament this week so I was able to finish the art quilt wallhanging Etsy order in the evenings this week. It came out wonderful. This is just one of the views of thread writing that I did. I also quilted the little girl's name throughout it. I'm very pleased.

In other news, there is nothing much going on. We spent the day today at the pool and that coupled with a long weekend and an even longer week, I'm pretty much exhausted.

Love

Just wanted to post something quickly today. I've been sick with a miagraine and throwing up all day. That and taking care of kids made for one rough day. I'm just posting a fast one today.

I love it that my little boy asks for a plate of veggies as a snack before dinner. Raw. Veggies. (With a side of dressing of course!!)

I've been exploring Meal Makeover Moms. And if you have picky eaters in your house (or are just looking for new healthy recipes and tips, they are a GREAT resource!
