Spark day 1

Had an excellent day at Spark. 12 hours of non stop creativity. Today's classes involved felting soap, mix media collage with pastels, mixed media with stamps, paper & decoupage. Tonight was filled with multiple make in takes, including jewelry and tissue flowers. Here are some photos of the swag and decor. I'll post pictures of the projects soon.

Tomorrow is loaded with more fun. Very inspiring!

Playing at the park

As most little boys do, Nicholas love the park. We have been arriving early to most of the boys baseball and soccer games and spending some extra time at the park.  Nicholas is fairly self sufficient but it nice to have an older brother on hand to help him down the larger slides.  Ready, set, go!  This is the phrase Nicholas chants at the top off each slide before he heads down.

Pumpkin Patch

This weekend we took the boys and we went pumpkin picking.  Andrew and Benjamin were all over looking for the biggest pumpkin thy could each find and Nicholas was content to pat, pat, pat the pumpkins.  After we made out pumpkin selection Andrew wheeled these heavy, heavy pumpkins up to the enormous payment line. There was also a corn maze at the pumpkin patch which was thrilling for all three boys.  Andrew and Benjamin would run ahead and hide and then Nicholas would come along and get spooked.  Lots of giggles.

I tried my hardest to get some good shots of the boys.  They are are so impatient with me and having their photo taken.  I need to get myself a super long lens and disappear from their view.
