I just adore capturing moments like this...
It was such a darling surprise, I had put him down in the living room in his car seat to get a breather, and the next thing I knew he was sound asleep.
During my pregnancy it was very difficult to motivate myself to do any extra handcrafts with the kiddos. The creativity was all put into the growing baby. Lately, I have been able to do a bit more artsy fartsy projects so I decided to work on making alphabet rocks with the girls.
So far we have made it up to the letter 'j' and added a couple of lady bugs.
We have also read and studied the art in Lon Po Po, a Chinese version of "Little Red Riding Hood" drawings by Ed Young.
These are the drawings the kids did, imitating the illustrator's style.
Eliana has been giving art a shot, too. Of course she is much better at drama!
Here she is copying her baby brother, it's a play called, " I Want to be the Baby Again".
Do you see the resemblance?
For this drama called, " I Want to be the Muti-Tasking Mama", she deserves an Academy award!!
I think the cat has got the right idea. Forget the crafts, forget the multi-tasking and forget the drama; just stretch out and take a nap. If I could only be so lucky.
As the day winds down, I sit and look at my road side find, a simple black and white table. It excites me because I can set up my sewing area once again. Summer is coming and school will be out. In the extra time I would like to hear the whirl and rhythm of my sewing machine. I want to make some unique clothes for the babe and the other kiddos.
When life becomes busy, hectic and sometimes even chaotic I try to remember there are always some good moments to capture in between!
