| Beautiful fossils from the Natural History Museum |
Yesterday was a making lemonade out of lemons day.
I had a 7yr old trooper who carried a zip-loc all around a very crowded Natural History Museum in case she threw up. I carried her all afternoon once her fever picked back up. It kept me warm on a day when we weren’t quite prepared for the cold.

| Audio books a driving mother’s life saving device. |
We enjoyed much more of a great audio book than we expected to as I-95 was a parking lot. Nothing like a great fantasy novel to keep a carload of tired children happy and their mother awake and less stressed about driving in the rain. Shannon Hale is one of my favorite authors for young adult literature.

| Weekly progress – a face every day for a year. |
So here are the faces this week. Feels a little like regression when I look at these results. Or is it just that I wasn’t trying as hard most of the time – keeping it quick and light unless drawing from a photo. It was a good sketching week – enjoying it and not feeling like it was a chore. It’s all about the journey.
Have you had lemons this week?
Did you do a little mental squeezing and sugaring?
Tell me about it.

April 24, 2011 at 4:34 amLemons? What's that? I try not to remember the lemons and just enjoy the lemonade. So sorry about your little sick 7 yr old. I hope she is better and that you don't catch it! Shannon Hale is fabulous! Great idea to have the book on tape for long rides. You're a great mom!
Hmmm now that I think about it I guess I had one lemon – the dr. called to say she wants me to come talk to her because my sugar levels are too high. 😛 I'll just spend the next couple days floating in de-nile and enjoying the sunshine. 😀 Have a great week!

Lost my car, walked .3 mile around parking lot – which was just a 20 feet away to the right when I started my circle to the left. But I decided to embrace the joy of walking – plus found a nice twig
ok, I want to win too! But maybe I read the post too fast – cause I didn't realize there was a prize book….
