The damage is done.

So I was in the kitchen making microwaving dinner ... right inside the glass sliding doors you see in the picture below. As I went to walk outside with a plate full of chicken nuggets, I saw a mess beneath my feet.The girls apparently thought it would be fun to throw soil all over the deck ... soil from my urn that was full of beautiful dead flowers. And Payton, being the artist that she is, thought it would be fun to paint her sister with soil.
As mad as I was at the mess, you know I had to grab my camera to document the damage. Here is culprit #1 claiming her artwork ...
At least nobody can say that my kids don't get to explore their environment!

  10. Hi Bethany,

    This is off subject but I have always admired your photography! I visit another site of a family that adopted from China and Guatamala (sp?). She is an amazing photographer too. I just visited her sit and saw that she has started an on-line business. I wanted to share it with you.
