(this photo so perfectly captured the essence of the day)
(today the wings were down thanks to the wicked wind) 
(the view from the back of the museum is a masterpiece all its own)
(uncanny really when life imitates art)
(love the simple shapes and bold colors)
(but this chagall is my ultimate favorite...my man's too)
(miss bit soaked it all in) 
(she thought these nudes were "weird") 
(and she was sure she could create this on her very own)
(our resident degas)
(miss bit fancied this chihuly for her room)
(inspired by Leger to take on our mosaic project)
(a little andy)
(cliffs constructed entirely of buttons...the kids called it "cool")
(unique and different mediums stretched the littles' minds)
(this protrait was made completely from...)
(combs!)
(the infinity chamber was a favorite from my childhood...it's still entertaining children and thus, living up to its name...defying the test of time)
(miss bit adored this bottle cap bunny and renamed the piece bunster)
(t. bone sized up the janitor and questioned who was real and who wasn't the rest of the visit)
(miss bit had a little lamb...little lamb...little lamb)
(taking on the trombone...and quite well i might add)
(t. bone tackles the tuba)
(the only sun we'll see today)
(my kids wonder if there is anything i won't take a picture of...no)this weekend i finished one book and started another.
i laughed so hard i almost cried watching the 1st season of modern family in its entirety.
both littles had sleepovers, but on different nights so someone was pretty much dog tired the whole weekend long.
we didn't see or hear from t. bone for 24 hours whilst he was away.
miss bit was gone only a few before calling home in tears desperately missing us.
she stuck it out though after her dad gave her a pep talk.
the kids each brought a friend to the movies.
don't even ask how we were hoodwinked into paying money to see hoodwinked too.
we spent almost as much on snacks as the movie tickets, and we even smuggled in some drinks and candy.
after that no one was really hungry for dinner, but we whipped up an old tried and true... chicken marsala and a new worthy contender...broccoli with asian sauce just for good measure and a bit surprisingly they paired well together.
the wicked wind knocked the power out across the street causing quite a raucous in the hood.
it was still cold and gusty today so we headed to the art museum after church as planned.
it was a very popular destination this morning for many.
we each had our own very different favorites.
try explaining beauty is in the eye of the beholder to a sleep walking 6 year old, or art for art sake to a know it all, i mean, wise beyond his years 10 year old.
she was a little beside herself that certain pieces qualified as museum worthy, and he was happy to play blind man walking and name that piece with his dad.
t. bone and miss bit made some music while we there too.
they each played the recorder, flute, tuba and the trombone.
we headed north up the lakefront in search of some lunch having worked up an appetite during our scavenger hunt through the galleries.
our great lake was awash with frothy white caps.
we ended up at a local diner/institution the kids had never been to before.
t. bone was happy because he got pancakes with a side of fries and miss bit was beside herself because she had a side of bacon with her chicken tenders.
we hurried home to finish homework and progress on procrastinated upon projects.
now she's celebrating with friends at a birthday party and he's running around with his band of boys.
sunday dinner is cancelled because we just finished lunch.
the way i look at it...i have a couple precious hours of lost time and there really is no better way to end a full to the brim weekend.
i'll take it thank you.
