good knitting weather and... a painting in his hands!

it is about 69 degrees out today!!!!!!!!!! can't believe it. sat on the bench outside my grandparent's chicken coop and knitted while jack amused himself with the coop door.:) could have stayed out there for hours, but was starving for lunch. i opened up a ton of windows in the house. may go back out there to knit after i make some chocolate chip cookies.

today i got the postal notice that the painting i bought from my friend lauren's on-line etsy store was at the post office ready to pick up. !!! so excited. i packed jack into the car without even any socks on, just shoes. had to wait for them to open from their lunch break. come on!... when we got back to the car, i ripped open my package. inside was my painting and odds and lovely ends. i had a little flash of epiphany. took the painting (in frame and ready to be hung!) and handed it back to my son in his carseat. wow. that was amazing. i think that was the first time jack has held a painting. it meant so much to share that with him. i will have to teach him all about art this week. we'll go on a gallery tour of the house.:) maybe i will even paint something. shocker.:)
