pace is sick with a cold and hacking cough, so we've been hanging out lounging all day for the past couple of days. too bad--it feels like spring outside! so while the boys have been busy watching the magic school bus and bill nye science guy, i've been busy finishing max's painting. this project dragged on a LONG time, so in part i dreaded doing it, just because it kept. on. going. on the other hand, though, it's been really fun to work on it while the boys are old enough to see what i'm doing and participate. max will walk over and point at the animals he knows and makes the animal sound, and then try and repeat the name of the animal when i tell him what it is. pace will come over and cuddle on my lap to watch me paint, and ask questions about what i'm painting. yesterday while i was painting max toddled over to my paint basket and started pulling out all the paint tubes, naming the colors! then pace joined in, matching up the big and small tubes of the same colors, "look, mom (hack, hack, hack), i did a match!"

This is terrific and beautiful art.
My favorite thing? Noah either has some great eye brows or terrific make up!
I like the dolphins too.
Are you going to make me a print like you did of the Star watercolor?
