I'm going to try something different for a change... a midday post. Everyone has gone to sleep except for myself so laundry is going and I have taken care of a few odd things around the house. One of those things was to frame a new print we picked up at the Art Fair today. It was really a quick grab, but with a 3 year old on your arm you don't get much time. Squirrel had spotted a whimsical style that she likes and so I went in with Sissy and we came out with this:

It wasn't my favorite piece, but it was the one that spoke to me that I had to grab it or I would always think about it. You see, we tell the girls often that we are going on an adventure and it has helped us try so many new things together.
The piece is frame now in a poster frame so that it can be hung in the girls' room. A little something more to make this their home. Sissy and I have already picked a spot for it.
The whole trip to the Art Fair was done with much skepticism on Squirrel's part. Last night the girls were terrible about bed so we were all exhausted this morning. I think for a 2 and 3 year old, we did marvelous. We walked through most of the booths, we touched very little, we admired a lot. Bug admired things that were 3 dimensional and Sissy more the painting and 2 dimensional pieces. We already seem to know that we have an artist and an engineer on our hands.
An interesting point was when Bug saw three women in "fairy" costumes and went running up and gave one a hug. When Sissy saw them she freaked out and wouldn't go near them. We now have coupons for the Renaissance Festival so maybe that will be a fall adventure.
The rest of today should be just a bit more on the normal side. We do need to go out to the store as we promised Sissy some more underwear. They have also eaten all the bread, cheese, and milk in the house.
Off we go, I may add more later today.
