Today did not really go as planned. But, alas some days are like that. Work ended up going a completely different way and consumed me most of the day in a negative light. But I still exercised and read to David and, well that’s about it. But that’s ok. I will work on my newsletter tonight. Comment more in my class. Do my art journal. I did snap some photos my boys.
I love them so.
And they’ve been angels about playing quietly, wonderfully. Both together and apart.
I am still trying to figure out my plans for the portraits. I don’t really feel like doing them anymore which is a sign that something needs to change. I also want to sketch more but I haven’t been able to come up with a system I like. So I need to work on both of those. Find a way to play and look forward to it. I have too much on my list already so I don’t want to be dreading these personal goals. I want them to be fun and educational.
The plans for this weekend are wide open and I am very grateful for that. I will work on my newsletter. I have already made the digital downloads so make sure to subscribe if you want those as they are exclusive to the newsletter members. I’ve also added a button on the left for my blog. A few people asked so I wanted to make sure I did it. I think that’s it for now. I am off to rest, rejuvenate and relax. Here’s to a great weekend!
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for a tiring but good week. I feel like I made so much progress on everything this week.
2. I am grateful for kindness and art and people willing to teach and share. I feel so grateful for the internet these days.
3. I am grateful for a wide open weekend. I will try to make good use of it. Journal a bunch and make some progress on the food, sketching, portraits and newsletter. But I will also rest a bunch.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that we finished our book {* his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that I played with my brother (i told him it was the last time he can use this one.)
3. I am grateful that mommy got me some new games on the iphone.
You take the most amazing photos, Karen! They are PERFECT, yet natural looking. You should give a tutorial on how you get those beautiful skin tones.
Training time! Nathaniel has already learned that his tears bring his wants. Now it’s time for him to learn about the four voices of children: (i) the park voice – the scream that’s far too loud; (ii) the outside voice – the voice used in the backyard to show delight; (iii) the inside voice – his normal voice; and (iv) the library voice – the whisper. He’s quickly approaching two – time to learn.
he’s been much better in the last two days, thankfully!
