Mosaic Table and HEARTS!

My dad made Harry and I a Mosaic Table. Biebs LOVES drinking water from the plates.

Leah bought Harry a boob mug in Florida. She broke it and was too cheap to buy another so my dad used pieces of it in our table. My mom used the circles to spell out COVID since this is definitely a year to remember.

We also decorated our front door with hearts. Hearts for Heroes is a hashtag around the world. Harry had no idea how to cut a heart. He had success but only when he used a pair of surgical scissors. :-P

Harry wasn't working very much at this time which meant he was home to help me record videos. He was even featured in a few videos which my kids loved!

Frozen Pants

The Frozen Pants trend took off in 2016. I tried it today for the very first time and it was fun. It was COLD! It's -55 here in Minnesota. We have been out of school for the past three days. It's a record low. Aren't we lucky?

It's art!

Wax Art!

For Christmas, Harry's mom, Kathy, created wax paintings for each kid. It's Encaustic painting to be exact. It amazes me all the details she put in Harry's painting, but when you wax it some of the details go missing. Take the tea bags for example- in the before they are there but then where did they go? Harry works in the Operating Room, so his mom put in part of a surgical mask and a spine. Harry is from Kenya. Kenya is famous for tea so there are a lot of tea farms in her painting. He also loves tea ie the tea packets. The exit signs are to remind Harry of where he's been. His mom is talented. I am wowed by her artwork. I am proud to display it in our home.

Before.

After.

All the kid's art.

Owls, Owls, and more Owls!

The big one reminds me of Broccoli.
