Weekend in Vegas
Last week was Spring Break. We were so lucky it fell after Tax season was over. So on Wednesday we headed down to Southern Utah. Then Friday we went to Vegas. Vegas isn't so kid friendly anymore. There is still alot for the kids to do and they had a blast. But oh my, what can I say.
We stayed at the Mandalay Bay. They have a beach for a pool with a wave pool and a lazy river. It was great.

Eggs
I taught art in Hallie's class yesterday, we did Easter eggs. I love covering the eggs with tissue paper. It is a little messy for first graders but they still turned out well. The prep work took all my morning free time. Trying to be an Artist and a full time my mother of five is difficult there is always something or someone needing my time.
Tomorrow is April 15th tax day (well technically it's the 17th). I should have a husband again by Tuesday. I can hardly wait for life to be somewhat normal again.

It's Sunday
It has been a long week. Hallie has been ill this week. We haven't been quite sure what was wrong. Throwing up, which is not that unuaual for her. Then a fever which she usual doesn't get much of a fever because she has weird body temperature issues. Friday she went to bed and we just prayed that she would be better in the morning. She (James and Madeline also) had a part in a BYU student film that they were shooting on Saturday and she so badly wanted to be in it. Saturday morning she seemed well enough to go so we let her. I worried all day and spent most of my day at the set or close by, but she made it. It was along day they had the kids there from 7am to 6pm. They were exhausted. Next Saturday is going to be the same.

I'm Done!
I've finally finished. At least for the moment. I'm sure I'll go back to it a few times before I frame it. The mouth looks weird in the photo but I tried to fix it on the painting and it looked fine. Miranda (pictured) wants to call it Paradise because it is a picture of Laguna Beach her favorite place.
Now I would really like to try a few new things. I have a commission to start but I think I'll take a week and experiment with some new mediums.
Instead of finishing my latest piece I'm writing. I'm trying to finish the eyes and they scare me. So why not put them off a little.
We had a wonderful time visiting with family this last week. It really took all my time. Last night we all got together and the kids decided to go bowling. They all left and shortly after we get the dreaded call that they had been in an accident. Thank goodness no one was hurt and it wasn't their fault. Some poor girl turned left in front of them.
Well I've got to stop procrastinating and get back to work.
