Art, Sleep, & Rules

This is Mimi's portrait of Barack Obama after she watched the inauguration. If you are wondering what that thing to the left of him is...well, it is a rock with a snail on it, of course!

Thanks Sleep Fairy

Yes, this is Moe snuggling with his Tyke Light. We are finally getting the sleep we need. He snuggles with it for a minute or so, gives it a kiss, and then puts it on his nightstand.

Inspiration & Fatigue

I am so sleep deprived these days. Our kids have always slept well. We have never co-slept. They have always slept through the night. Now we are being punished for that. The sleep fairy decided to no longer grant us kid-free evenings. Moe has been waking up at 1 am or so and coming in our bed. We have tried putting him back, but mostly he has been staying. And to make matters worse, he is now getting out of his bed during his 2 1/2 hour nap to get in our bed! SEE:
I have been painting again. I am not a good painter. But, I had to switch art projects or else my hands will become permanently disabled from crocheting! Kevin has this rock and mineral book that inspired me to paint...Take a look at the inspiration:
Here is what I came up with:

I am okay with blotchy art like this. When it comes to detail...well, let's just say I think I may be on a grade school level...
Take a look at these:

I have mixed feelings about these, since they can and should be recycled. But I guess they are being upcycled into art?
Sorry for my randomness...blame the fatigue!
