Weekend Snapshots: Bunnies & Undies Edition

Going to the mall with a toddler is both terrible and extremely fun. It's terrible when you do things like accidentally stay one iota of a second longer than said toddler wants to walk or be in the stroller (that's when Dad's Shoulders - and Grumpy Dad - come into play) and when you announce "Let's go get an Elsa toy!" only to discover that the Disney store has experienced a catastrophic run on anything and everything Frozen-related, leaving only a sad, sad display consisting of a shirt (size 8) reading "Let It Go" and two Hans dolls. It is wonderful when you happen upon the merry-go-round, which is apparently a sight of incomparable wonder, or when you discover sushi and Coldstone and a movie theater within five feet of each other.

Seeing the Easter Bunny is somewhere in between those two extremes. On the plus side, our son was very excited and happy while waiting on line. On the minus side...

well...

Painted Rainbow

This happened last week, and it was so much fun, and I totally forgot to write about it. (If I've seemed slightly checked-out these past few days, there's an extremely good reason for it - I'll explain very soon.)

I used to be big on painting and drawing - I even went to art school during the summer of 1998 and spent hours and hours every day drawing naked people (an example, above) and painting fountains and buildings - but in the past few years…not so much. I really like it; I just…sort of forget that it's an option, I suppose, and default to things like reading and knitting and watching Lindsay to relax.
