Creativity

I really want to be creative. I am in the kitchen, but I want to expand what I do, so after neglecting the house for 3 days I finally made birthday hats. Paris' birthday is coming up and I have been wanting to make these paper hats for about 2 years, but because everything has to be perfect it hasn't happened. My house has to be clean, I need uninterrupted time, all the right tools (my kitchen has it all), and the right space where I can leave my project. That is a big order to fill and it most likely won't happen like I want it untill all my kids are gone. So with a little motivation from Rich I made 3 hats! It feels so great!


The first hat is for Paris' birthday and the other two are for her two little friends who are having a double birthday party later today!
Late Tuesday night after a late dinner and a late bedtime I made lunch and dinner for Wednesday- that is how I had time to do that hats- not having to cook dinner- and I do put all the pressure on myself to have it be just right. I made little tin meat pies and shepherd's pie. The meat pies I sent with the kids to school with reservations. They are different and I had never made them before... would the kids eat them? When I picked them up from school I asked how their lunches were and Atlas and Emilia told me how much they loved the pies! Emilia told me she wished that I had sent three with her! I asked Leif about it- one never knows with him and he said that he liked them too. I think that he threw it away without tasting, but for his after school snack he ate 2 more!
The nest Richard found back in July. He took the kids to Hobble Creek and found it, but back then it had 4 little blue eggs in it. Luckily he remembered where it was and showed it to me!
