My Picasso's

Aging is a bittersweet process.  I still miss my little babies but I am really just enjoying the little people they are becoming.  One of my biggest surprises in the past year has been homemade art from Harmon and Rachey.

It started when we moved to the new home.  I lost my office because there was one less room.  So my work desk is in the dining room.  Harmon loved to dig into my craft drawers and he just went off and running with crafts.  Miriam encouraged it by looking up ideas for crafts on the internet so I have been blessed with everything from puppet shows, door hangers, spider webs, and calendars.   Every day either at home or during school he will do something sweet for me.  

Rachel is similar.  Ever since she was an infant she just loved painting especially.  We have this beautiful little wall of her pictures from OT, DD-Pre, and home made crafts.  My favorite was this one picture she painted for me.  It is me as a princess with a castle.  Every room in my home has a few masterpieces from either Harm or Rach.  It reminds me of myself as a child.  I loved art and I still love creating art.  

Of course I have 3 little kids and one is missing.  At this point art Callum's calling.  Never say never, but for now it isn't his thing.  The other day I found a cute picture and asked Callum if he wanted to color it for me so he could have something on the wall.  He said sure and a little bit later he came back but the picture looked oddly familiar.  That is when I realized it looked identical to what Harm did on a similar piece.  Cally confessed he wanted me to have a picture but he hates coloring so he asked Harm to help.  It made me smile.  I love Callum for who he is.  He picks me flowers and sings me songs; he doesn't need to impress me with art.

It is always a boost if I'm having a long morning or a had a rough day to walk around my home and see the different art work.   Even my bathroom mirror is crowded with art work.  I love my two Picassos.
