Color Me Happy

February is a blah month. We are stuck inside. Too much snow on the ground to be "fun" anymore. We are sick of playing with the same toys - and quite frankly - sick of looking at each other. Weekends become a thing of fear, as we don't know what we are going to do to fill a 12 hour day with entertainment. And with this blah month, I really have nothing to report on. We haven't done anything of note, nor have we gone anywhere. I'm hoping to change that this weekend. It's my mission.

In the meantime, I can show off Sadie's art work. She certainly inherited the creative bones in her bod from her aunts - both Kristin and Megan - who have a solid track record. Sadie comes home with piles of art work every day. Paintings, drawings, colorings. I should buy stock in construction paper. There is so much that I end up tossing most in the recycle bin. I feel guilty, but then again - I know she didn't strategically places eyes or whiskers on a given paperplate cat. When there's a collaborative hand involved, I feel less guilty about the trash.

This is the ladybug Sadie brought home yesterday. It was cute and delicately colored on each side. Nice balance of color. Polka dots and feet suspiciously perfect.
