Wax Hearts




Originally, I intended this post to be about my favorite Valentine's Day art project. It involves melting crayons with a candle, smearing it on wax paper, and carefully ironing until the colors melt and mix. Adria, however, want this post to be about how much I love my children. Well, those children are trying my patience today. Adria has been asking endless questions about a book. Colin has been in a grumpy mood all day. Eva has been video taping death scenes heavily influenced by The Blair Witch Project. And, Liam has been jumping on the sofa with half of his hair sticking up and identifying everyone's imperfections as only a five year old can. They are now sitting in my room arguing about absolutely ridiculous topics. But I love them and wouldn't trade them for anything. I might be tempted to loan them out for a while though.

They are my Valentines.


One of Liam's best pictures. Smile wise.

Looked out the kitchen window one morning to see a flock of birds in the trees. Made me feel like I was in a Hitchcock movie.
Cookie time
Never let an artist decorate cookies. Nothing is ever perfect.
Midnight is never far from the action. Even when he wants to be.

He was truly puzzled by the packaging.
