paint with me thursday!

Simply Feather
So here is my "art" on umbrellas:
I was outside with the boys yesterday
drawing with chalk and I thought it would
be a perfect time to do my art~
All spring break this year, it rained
and was really crummy weather.....
and we had no umbrella
 but really wished we did.
i especially want the one we saw at Target,
 a bubble umbrella.. so super cute.


Today I did a little spring cleaning.
I washed the slipcovers on the
 couch and found the usual:
top ramen noodles, a gummy worm,
 money, and some game pieces.
 Well, not actually money,
just a penny and im not even  sure that it's considered currency anymore.
What I really want to know though,
 is who ate top ramen on the couch?
Seriously what kind of mother would I be
 if I let my kids eat soup on the couch??? 
 I'm rambling a bit and this last paragraph had absolutley nothing to do with umbrellas.

 Oh well, enjoy my art...

Ha! That is so funny that you found ramen in your couch...I find similar things under the cushions too!.:) Thanks for stopping by my blog, I would be flattered if you bookmarked it.
I love your umbrella!

sidewalk chalk doodling is one of my favorite activities outside. i just bought a new package of chalk...is it just me or is a new package just about the best thing in the world? anyway, your drawing is so vibrant! i love the colors in the umbrella. it's making me want to get out to the sidewalk. but is just so windy!

So cool! How did you do that? I mean, I know you drew it with sidewalk chalk, but there's more to it than that. I love the look and bright colors and shadows in this picture.

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
