mondays!

These days I barely have time to make sure we're all dressed by the time Jonathan comes home at night.  As you might have noticed, a lot of the time, in the pictures I post, we're still in our pj's. 

Mondays are good days for us.  We don't have too much planned.  Going to the library is our main objective.  I've been feeling like I wish we had less to do as far as soccer and homeschool co-op.  I'm always tweaking my priorities.  So, Mondays are good.  We can just be home and read.  We can draw.

Yesterday, as I was sorting books to bring back to the library, I picked up this lovely book on seahorses.  Kids love drawing, and my kids are no exception.  But, they do need a little inspiration sometimes.  Like mom saying, "I think I'm going to draw some seahorses!!"  I do need to draw more, I think.  I need to build my own confidence in that area.

I just love Solomon's style of art.  For a while there, he had lost his spark (when I took him out of school) and now it seems that he's really loving it.  I think one has to be free of stress to really feel creative.  Or creativity is a stress reliever. 

I have to admit that seahorses are awesome!

It felt good to be with my three kids, drawing seahorses.  Just being together creatively.

I hope you're having a nice day!

great idea to get a book to help inspire! I've been sitting and coloring with the girls lately and it's nice.

You are so right about kids needing inspiration. I need to find the confidence to be more inspiring to Henry! What a lovely day!
