Born out of parental guilt. Of course I KNOW this is important. But it's so easy for us all to be left to our own devices (in this day and age, quite literally) and drift off to our own corners. And then I wonder why they show up with those devices, right under my ear, and yammer and yell and fight with each other until I either 1) blow my top or 2) realize what they're looking for, even though they may not even know it, is some one on one. A game. A conversation. A book. A walk. Real life things -- together. So now I'm going to make bread with them.... before they grow up and don't want to do it anymore.

It's so true, Aimee...sometimes the worst behavior is simply the call, "Hey, Mom, notice me!!" Love the little figures in your doodles...so sweet!
Words to remember here! That will probably be the best loaf of bread ever! Love your bold and bright colors- so much fun!
Whenever I'm frustrated, irritated, fed up - I think the very same thing...one day they won't want to do this stuff with me anymore.
Hope the bread was yummy and not *too* messy!
So true, Aimee! That's why I haven't blogged so much lately, because even art takes time away from little children, and I have one to spend time with while he is still small! :-)
