Spare Moments

If you are anything like me, you often wonder what happened to the day.  Then you start to wonder what you did during the day.   How can you be busy all day but not have anything concrete to show for it.  Then your partner comes home from work, looks around and asks, what did you do all day?

AHHHH!  

I got the wee ones up, dressed, breakfast and off to school (without yelling to hurry up and without rushing for the bus)  I kissed a sore finger, snuggled on the couch while watching Franklin, got snacks and drinks, hung out in the bathroom while someone was trying to 'poop' and needed someone there and I read books, lots and lots of books.  

So sure I actually have nothing to show for what I did today and the house looks messier then when we got up but I did do something worthwhile and meaningful today.  Not everything that is important can be seen. 

So tonight I had a few spare moments and thought that I would do something that can be seen and that will  show "what I did". 

Sadie had a little ceramic donkey that she was playing with, it's not pretty or even finished but she really likes it.  Seth was jealous because he didn't have something like it.  I had a few little ceramic pieces and let him pick one.  I know it is a Christmas penguin but that is ok. 

I just used acrylic paints for this and used a spray varnish for over top.  Now he will have something to play with when Sadie gets out her donkey and I can say, "look, this is what I did!"
