Bragging

Bayli had her 4th watercolor painting lesson yesterday and I just have to brag. She is doing AMAZING!!! She didn't get her talent from me because I can't draw a straight line with a ruler. Marshall, my brother, can draw and paint very well, but he doesn't anymore and that drives me crazy. If I had that kind of talent I would be using it to the extreme. This sand dune/ocean painting is the one she did yesterday and I love it! We are going to frame it and hang it in her room. She is enjoying her lessons so much and Sam Reilly is a wonderful artist and teacher.

Shrek Spoon

When I got the wooden spoon it reminded all of us of the spoon Shrek eats with. Since my husband is quite a bit bigger than I am I sometimes lovingly refer to him as the Jolly Green Giant, Grape Ape, Ogre, etc. etc. He recently switched job duties and is now doing more physical work than before. He came by where I work one morning and said he had bought a bag of frosted flakes and a gallon of milk and was considering going home and just pouring the milk in the bag of cereal because he was so hungry. I then being very considerate of his hungry state asked him if he was going to eat it with his Shrek spoon. He didn't find it as funny as I did and since then I picture him eating with the spoon every time I see it or him eating and usually make some mention of it as well. Today he sends me this pic of him holding the said spoon over a large mixing bowl. It made my day! :)
