Chalk vs. Sprinklers...

Sprinklers and chalk do not mix!I found the tub of chalk completely full of water from the nights lawn watering.

Yeah, that is not a good combination.

The stuff is like paint now.

We laid it on the ground and tried to dry it out...

That didn't work very well.

So we loaded it back in the tub and put it in the sun.

When it touches the cement, it is like thick paint.

The kids were covered from head to toe.

They, of course, thought it was the most fun thing on the block.

Party pooper... me... couldn't think of anything but laundry!

Budding artist...

Miranda has been painting in her art class.

This was her rendition of our fireplace.

She is slowly coming to the realization that she isn't half bad.

She is enjoying the creative side of herself.

I came home yesterday (from grocery shopping)

and found that my back patio

was covered in chalk artwork.

That isn't abnormal.

The little kids love to use the chalk out there.

The fantastic part was...

This piece that my budding artist had left for me.

If it is about family, I am all over it.

Thanks, Miranda!

I love it...
