Craft Room and Demos

Don't adjust your glasses..these photos are all blurred.

I am in a constant state of trying to organize Finn's things. I can never get it right. His room always feels like the walls are closing in.  Recently we decided to make a small extra room his "craft room." We put his tables and drawing things in there along with play doh and hands on kind of things.  

 This room was originally meant to be Tosh's office.  He painted one wall in chalkboard paint.  He never used it for a chalkboard though.  Eventually, Tosh got an office and this room has since been a hundred different things.   We have never let Finn in on the chalkboard wall.

 The other night Finn and I were in the room. He was playing while I was organizing.   He said, "Mom that is a chalkboard wall?"  He continues, "That is a chalkboard wall just like at my school."   He then asked me in the sweetest voice, "Can I use it mom?"   I couldn't believe he knew all along and never asked before.

 So of course I said YES! So he was super excited to draw on it!!  I really love his craft room and am happy with how it turned out. Now I can focus on his bedroom.

Recently a friend of mine stopped by.  Finn will tell you it is his friend.  She played ball with him and even let him push her on his "maxi" car as he calls it.

 It is impossible to photograph someone riding this thing. I dare someone to get a picture of Finn in motion...

And lastly, a few weeks ago I started to process to have one of my songs turned into a professional demo.  I had been talking about doing it, and talking about doing it, and not doing it. I was a little nervous.  A few weeks ago I was talking with a sweet friend about writing. I found out that she writes books.  We got all excited to find out that the other one wrote things.  So after our talk, I came home with the motivation to go for it.  

So I think we are at about 2.5 weeks until I will hear the song. I cannot wait!!  Tosh, Finn and I will be driving around in the car with it on repeat.  Tosh might be more anxious than me. I can't wait to get the song and to share it. My "version" with me singing and playing guitar in the laundry room has only been heard by about 3 people.   I guard that because it make me nervous to share, but when Nashville musicians are playing it, you better believe I will be sharing it with the entire universe!
