Just what I thought, never seem to find the time! Well- here I go again trying this....
I decided to go a different route and just blog about my art at home- with my little ones being that is where I spend the majority of my chaotic but wonderful days! And yes, that 'ones' was plural.....Baby Sister has arrived! Big Brother is 'almost' ecstatic..... Continuous wet kisses on her face and sneaky squeezes of her head.. hmmmmm?
Back to life at home with a toddler and a newborn... not much time for MY art. But then again, when has there been in the past few years. My little guy has actually begun telling me "NO ART Mama!" This is new because for two years, I have enjoyed exploring all forms of art with my little guy that sometimes made less then artsy friends gasp and my husband nearly faint at the messes.... But now he's sick of it! I think the later months of pregnancy where I was too tired or large to get down and dirty with him had something to do with it.
Oh, how this breaks my heart! So I fake a cry and sometimes it results in 10 minutes of coloring and pasting! Faking out a two year old isn't wrong, is it?
My husband and I both love the arts. The hubby is a self taught musician; guitar, harmonica and a little piano. I had YEARS of piano lessons as a kid and have been a fine artist since as early as I can remember. So naturally, we want our kids to love the arts as well.... But somehow my little guy has become obsessed with ........FOOTBALL! Of all things! Not that this is terrible but the hubby isn't especially huge on sports and lordy knows it didn’t come from this right brainer.
So that’s it in a nutshell. This art-starved Mama needs some release... Hopefully when "Baby Sister" gets situated a bit more, me and the little guy can get back to some mess making!
