Our Pillow Fort (and Other Fun)

Playtime !

OK, so maybe it isn't exactly a "fort", but it was fun all the same.

Climbing in!



Bouncing, because that's what you're supposed to do in your pillow fort.

Again, "CHEEEEESE, PLEASE!!!"

The other day, my mom gave me a set of watercolor pencils. I have never used (or heard of) them and it has been a very (VERY) long time since I've drawn anything other than Christmas card doodles.

Every time we go to Austin, there are these crazy dead trees that are like sculpture and I keep saying I'm going to drive (two hours away) to take a photo of each of them. I don't know what kind of tree they are, but I've named the ones I've seen - each according to their posture (such as 'The Dancer' or 'The Prayer'). One day, I will get out there and photograph them all, but for the time being, I created my own interpretation.
