Sarah's Creative Outlet

Alright folks - it's Mary here - and I feel very prompted to blog something so as to bump the wonderfully hideous image of Evil Knievil from the very top of our family blog - Yikes Jeff!!! - what will people think??? Actually, I have been wanting to blog as well, but it seems that Jeff always get to a topic first and when I am on the computer - I am usually working. As many of you know - our little Sarah has an artistic side that doesn't come from either Jeff or I - she loves to color and draw and does so on a daily basis. Sometimes she feels very lazy about it and just scribbles across the page and calls it done and other times she is very slow and meticulous (she has cried more than once when she decides she used the wrong color somewhere and there is no way to fix it - it's usually black). Anyway, I thought I would attach a picture she drew this morning of her cousins Ruby and Alice (Ruby just turned 5!! and Alice recently turned 2). Notice the smile on Ruby's face and the frown on Alice's. Alice has an endearing and sometimes very obnoxious way to say "please","I want that", or "now" with a very distinct shriek - she has greatly improved over the last 6 months or so - but Sarah seems not to have noticed since this is how she always remebers her. She rarely refers to Alice without calling her "Crazy Alice" or "Ali-Bear - she's Crazy." Both Ruby and Alice have 4 fingers and a dark blot which represents their thumbs - which is an upgrade from yesterday's rendition which only included 3 fingers and a thumb - we'll see what tomorrow brings :) I also attached a picture she colored this morning - this was one of her semi-lazy and partially meticulous projects which of course involves many colors. Enjoy!
