Thank you Easter Bunny!

This morning I had this conversation with Violet :

Violet: Where's Easter Bunny?

Me: He went back to his house.

Violet: I want to hug him!"

Me: Well, if you just yell THANK YOU really loud, he'll probably hear you.

Violet: No, I want to call him. Can we call him?

Me: Easter bunny can't talk because he's a bunny, so he doesn't have a phone.

Violet: But I just want to hug him Mommy!

Me: Let's just yell thank you really loud together.

Violet: No, we need to find him. I need to hug him.... He's brown.

Me: Oh, he's brown? I always though he was white, but I've never seen him... Wanna take a bath?

Violet: Okay!

Just say no!

WHAAA???
What happened to Joaquin? Ryan thinks maybe he's totally in character for a part in a movie, but it seems a little too real too me... Who knows? He IS an amazing actor! What do you think?

Ophelia

The painting "Ophelia" (1851) by the Pre-Raphaelite painter Sir John Everett Millais.

In Shakespeare's Hamlet, the daughter of Polonius. She loses her mind after Polonius' death.

A painting that has always caught my eye.

The Eyes of an Artist

This video is so cool! It's in French, so I really have no idea what he is saying (Dayna, you probably know). I think we often forget what a beautiful world we live in. We sometimes just need to put our "Imagination Goggles" on!

William Blake

I've decided that every so often I would post a piece of art that I love.

This piece by William Blake is so inspiring. He was way ahead of his time, doing this mixed media in 1794! He was an English poet, painter, and printmaker.
