Nature and Art

Last week's storm was a little bit crazy.  I really don't think my husband fully appreciates how calm I was (for me) during this storm.   The fact that tornadoes were forming and I was not in fetal position is nothing short of a miracle.   My parents can testify that my normal storm approach is full on panic.  With bad weather coming, we headed to Tosh's office to get in the basement.  We woke Finn up in his sleep and took him up there in his pajamas. He had no idea what was going on. When we got there he said "Is this the new apartment?"   He thought it was "cool."   

The storm did a number on the trees in the area.  Our backyard was covered in branches and leaves.
 Luckily everything turned out okay.
In other news...
   Finn has enjoyed the yard and getting to ride his cars.
 We took a trip to the Discovery Center.
 Last year the stairs had to be enclosed so as Finn did not try any stunt work.   This wall has stayed bare.  I am bad about committing to wall hangings.
Finn has been bringing home lovely art projects from his MDO.  I thought they would be the perfect thing to put on this wall.  I am very into straight lines and order.   I didn't want this to be orderly though. I want to add to it over the years.  So I had to just hang stuff without trying to hard.  Here is the after...
 I love the way it turned out.  I think toddlers + paint=really neat creations.   We have let Finn paint some canvases that hang in his room...
 He did this one when he was two. 
Notice he couldn't reach the middle. I love it.  It will always be in our house.  It is priceless.
