What the heck?

So most of the people that read here and follow me on facebook probably know by now that I'm going through some very personal stuff. That is still very much going on but I am realizing that pushing the creative side of me to the backburner wasn't doing any favors for my soul. Yesterday was a very bad day, so when I saw Sophia slipping off for a nap, I got to work and created this:

I'm still playing and tweaking but I must admit it felt so good to get back on the wagon again.

So catching up: I'm way behind. Halloween. We all know I hate it but I do love the costumes :)
Joseph and Joshua both wanted to be more of a feminine costume with Joseph being a bunny and Joshua being a witch. Before you ask why there isn't a photo of Jordan, that's because he decided he was too cool for Halloween. He wasn't going at all. Then at the very last second he decided he was going and wanted to use his old costume from last year, except the mask was wrecked, so he couldn't use it. That's when he decided to get mad at me for ruining his Halloween! Ummm, excuse me? Then he decided he wanted to rip clothing so he could be a hobo which I quickly vetoed. More arguing. Finally he decided to use one of Terry's hockey jerseys and be a hockey player. He asked me to paint him a black eye which I did while biting my tongue. I thought it looked pretty decent and turned around to dress Sophia the kitty and Jordan comes out of the bathroom without his black eye! He thought it looked terrible. Needless to say, I told him he better run out the door before I changed my mind about trick or treating. *sigh*

So photos of 3 kids:










Sophia really didn't want to be a kitty. She fought me with those ears tooth and nail!


I'll be back later with photos of Joseph's birthday.
