Time flies when you're makin' art!

It's been awhile since my last post!
The end of May is near...we have preschool graduation, a #6 birthday party for R and R and a much anticipated vacation in June to see Shamu the Whale in San Antonio, TX! All of this plus our regular household duties are keeping us very, VERY busy!
I just had to laugh while walking past my kitchen table today:

...yup, this is what it looks like! Let me point out some of my favorite parts...the egg cartons on the table have a "rainbow" garden of flowers and vegetables growing in them...compliments of Preschool...there is a bowl with two suckers that haven't been finished yet...truly, it takes more than a few licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop! Next, a pack of clay, beads, watercolor paints, suncatchers to be painted yet...a basket full of flowers that were picked off of a neighbors bush yesterday, paperwork that needs to be looked at, my purse and of course, our lunch plates...I'm sure there is more...but let's move on to the window that is smeared with dog snot from Tripper knocking with his nose to get in...ew.
Remember, I said I was walking PAST the table! I was on my way outside to enjoy 70 degrees of perfect weather and heading straight for my bike...the kids already were outside waiting for me. I could have cleaned off the table and gotten all frustrated with my/our mess...but I am the one who helped create it...I created two children who love and appreciate art and who breathe it everyday of their lives.
So, past I went to see the best artwork that I have ever made:

The other stuff can wait...and yes, my kitchen is still a mess!
