a day of art

First thing I made this for myself. I hear a lot about caring for myself.

Dash had his heart set on crafting gifts for a dinner we are invited to on Sunday to see his Aunt and Uncle (beloved brother) We are all going out for burgers on Sunday.

Little Dove desired to make a gift for someone.
So we made these bird houses that I had set aside.

The "Painting bug bit" then as I was preparing a cardboard for them Dove asked if she could use one of my canvases. I gave them each a real canvas to do art "for their bedroom walls.
Little Dove makes a smile face.

Dash paints me in the sun with a tree and sky.

Dash Hawk and I cracked nuts and I taught him the way to do it. We had a nice conversation about "love" the greatest force...Dash was telling me that it is more powerful than hate and war. Then he said something I have thought before but had never really shared with folks. That God must really Love satin. It must really hurt Gods heart that things turned out the way they did . Because she said "The world would be such a place filled with love if satin did not make such a bad choice.

That boy is eating MEAT, if you know what I mean.

Beloved came home at the old regular time and a little early at that. After a sweet call with Denise. We all left to go to the picture show. I was struggling with staying home and sewing but really wanted to be with the family. So I went. We had popcorn and some of the candy from home and a big water. I get a very large bottled water then ask for water cups at the register. We get a refillable Popcorn and use the water cups to dispense it. Then run and got a refill before the movie started.
We saw "Enchanted" a cute Disney flick that has been out a while. It was fun. We went to get a taco after and Dove was a ll upset because she did not get to have a soda. I did not want more sugar lowing into them before bed. It is an expense that is not necessary when we ar 5 minutes from home.
We went to the neighborhood light display., but Dash had a tummy ache so Daddy Man drove him home to use the toilet. He came back for us with Dash in the back seat with a pan ill. So we all all home dash is better after a BM and is now resting and story time is over .
I am a bit used up. Dove is grumpy with me and I have little tolerance of it tonight. Man she is going to be a teenager too soon! My kids are very interruptive and I am getting to a point that I get irritated by it. It is a real problem in my family. Even a sewing friend who was over noticed it. I am interrupted constantly by Hubby or kids. Hearing Impairment is a part of it with Dash. Boy it is annoying. Then it bothers them that I am irritable well DA~ is what I am thinking but they just do not get it. Even when the message is clear. I wish this was a issue with an easy remedy. Any ideas? Bet I have tried them... Be cool
is there was a fresh idea out there for me?
