Week 2 of the art challenge is up for viewing over at paper and planes.

This week my lack of time and lack of inspiration collided fiercely and even though Jeremy gave me some good starting ideas to help me get my brain going, I still sat staring at a blank piece of paper on Saturday night. So I grabbed a pencil (which unfortunately, like most pencils in our house, had no eraser) and I started doodling the chaos of our previous week. All the little things here and there that added up to fill our days. I was feeling tired, a little worn out, and a little overwhelmed with the disorganization of our house and the whirlwind of days that had just flown by. But it was amazing how enjoyable and relaxing it was just sitting down and sketching out all those things and noticing and remembering all that had happened. Whether they were stressful, funny, messy or annoying. Whether they were memorable or not. Regardless of the significance of each thing they are all a part of us, our week, our family and our view of home.

Oh and by the way..... Happy Valentine's Day! We celebrated this past weekend by buying ourselves some sweet little yard lights at Costco, new running shoes for me, all topped off with Frosties and french fries at Wendy's. A serious treat!
