It seems as though the change of the season & schedules has brought the icky crud right along with it. Our whole family has been battling a bad cold over the last few weeks. We just keep exchanging symptoms & trying on new ones. Sayer & I are still feeling less than our energetic selves today & decided to take it easy. On the agenda (while Chris is at work) is a little painting, a possible puppet show, fire station, & some cuddling on the couch with our favorite books & magazines. Hopefully we will be all energized and inspired by tomorrow. What do you have planned for the weekend?

It was too cold to play outside, not to mention, the snow wasn’t that great snowball/snowman snow- it sort of just fell apart. Sayer & I ventured out today, but decided that we rather have hot cocoa & paint inside. I love the stage Sayer is in right now- although I’ve enjoyed all of them so far. He is just so cool & really fun to play with. I broke out my watercolors & painting materials (but was grateful I had Sayer use his own paints). We turned on the music & painted for quite awhile. Being that I’ve taught college level painting classes over the last 16 years, it was really refreshing to paint with him. His willingness to experiment, play & just enjoy painting- without a care in the world as to what the finished product looked like, is what I always tried to encourage in my students. It’s much trickier as an adult to be that way. Sayer was definitely an inspiration to watch & be around. I’m going to love sharing my studio with him over the years I can just tell. When his painting was done, he picked up a pair of Chris’ old glasses sitting on the bookshelf & started goofin’ around….
I really think that the pictures speak better than my words as to what I saw. Let’s just say, that I had a really good Saturday & the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Hope you’re having a nice weekend too.
