I had big plans today to get a lot accomplished.\u00a0 But I, of course, got distracted with picking up the house.\u00a0 Then I had a friend over for lunch and a Bible Study (thanks, Taylor!!\u00a0 looking forward to next week!).<\/p>\n
This afternoon got away from me, too, but that was because we had some much needed kid-messy-crafting time this afternoon. Man, they love to paint, and I just don’t let them often enough. They were engrossed in it for an HOUR.\u00a0 Of course with close supervision as I hovered over to keep them from handprinting the couch or my plantation shutters (interesting that I work so hard to get handprints on plates and stuff, but I don’t want them elsewhere in the house.\u00a0 Hm.\u00a0 And yes, I could move them away from both the couch and the shutters, but that would be too easy.\u00a0 And I’d get bored if I didn’t have to hover.\u00a0 I’m rambling.\u00a0 Can you tell I’m doing this post late at night? \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 )<\/p>\n
Anyway, a couple cute photos of my serious little artists.\u00a0 Josiah sticks his tongue out when he’s really concentrating, but I couldn’t quite get a picture of those moments.\u00a0 Maybe because they were the moments I needed my hands free to keep him from decorating the wall? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
