  • Good morning


    Its a new day without flaw or blemish in it.


    I'm so glad new days happen. 


    I bought new water colors for my kiddos yesterday.   And actually spent the dollar extra a paint for Crayola.  Man is this one instant in which name brands are better.    I've been buying the cheap craft stuff cause we go through it better.   But I tried to use a no-name color crayon the other day and was highly disgusted with its quality.   So splurged and bought "real" ones, and yup crayola crayons are soooooooo much better.  Brighter, color better etc.       Anyhow yesterday it was a splurge on water color paints.   As winter is setting in and I need some things to entertain my kiddos in the house.


    So for almost 2 hours they broke in the "new" table my mom brought by and made beautiful art work.   Okay Rainee would put 3 dobs of paint on a piece of paper and bring it to me.   I had 30 of her "art projects"   Sad to say they are all gone now.  *snicker*


    But this one...this one I thought was worth sharing.  Kaylin did this.  She's just four.    The date on it is NOT written backwards,  its on the back of the paper and leaked through on the scan.  I did that as I'm adding this piece to her scrapbook.    


                         


    I have several others of her artwork, but this one was my favorite.  


    Anyhow its actually sunny out today.  *cheers wildly*   So I'm majorly looking forward to kicking my kids out of the house in a few minutes.  They need the wiggles really, really badly!


    Okay I need them to wiggle.  


    Yup sent 'em out...their grumbling 'cause I told 'em it was coat weather.   Sam up until a week ago was still running outside shirtless.   Well the result of this is of course coming in in ten minutes crying cause he's cold.   And leaving the door open to let all the cold inside etc.   So now its officially coat on BEFORE you go outside weather.  Moms are just so dang mean. 


    I have the option of running away today.   I have a good DH.  But so far I'm not inspired.   I don't have money to spend.  I'd just go and eat breaky and still not sure if I'm going to go.  If I don't go today it will be at least Friday before I can, so I probably should.  


    I *do* have a new book to read however....so maybe I should.  


    Okies think I'll go.  I've found the energy.  Have a day all!

  • I agree with the brand name stuff--sometimes it IS better...I recently threw away a bunch of cheap colored pencils because when I tried to sharpen them, they just cracked all along the side and broke to pieces as a result. 

    And alot of stuff "disappears" too. LOL  It's the only way I can keep from drowning in papers.

  • Ohhhhh yes, Crayola is infinitely better and they have some absolutely terrific products out there. I gladly pay the dollars for their stuff. *g*

    Love the watercolor!
