sidewalk chalk

Middle school girls and hormones. Enough said, ammiright?? Sometimes it seems to be a daily struggle to get them to act their age and stop pretending to be 18. Sometimes they just need to relax and be kids. So we bought some sidewalk chalk.

 

Do you play THE GAME?! If you do, then you just lost.

We escalated to Frozen quotes pretty quickly:

I actually got him to sit for this photo! Squeal!

I love hanging out with our girls and being kids together.

subway art by me

so we've been in our new apartment for about a month, and it looks pretty bare. 

so i decided it was time to jump on this subway art bandwagon and make us something. which i hung in our teeny-tiny little "hallway" over the fuse box. 

i used one of husband's favorite quotes, from dostoevsky's house of the dead.

i painted the letters in orange and outlined them in orange and brown sharpie {classy, i know} i didn't want it to look perfect- i like a little sloppy in my art. but i think it might just be all sloppy. oh well, i still like it!

about hugs

 "It’s like an emotional Heimlich. Someone puts their arms around you and they give you a squeeze and all your fear and anxiety come shooting out of your mouth in a big wet wad and you can breath again."
