July 19th

Today we've had painting painting painting!!! Randy and Kaiden were both busy artists getting ready for the big art show coming up. Randy seems to have found a nice groove and is really going with it. His newest work has a different feel but is still very colorful and full of energy. We can't wait to share with you all!

:::The show will be on August 11Th, 4-6pm, here in Sarasota. The art gallery fell through but one of Randy's biggest fans, Robin Jensen, is hosting the show at her house. We'll be sending out invitations soon!:::

We've also had a little cook in the kitchen today. Kaiden has discovered that cooking can be pretty fun - especially when you make a big old mess! He started out helping me make spaghetti and sauce.

Adding spices here and there, olive oil, a bit of cheese, garlic, stirring, tasting...and then his mind got to work. He soon realizes that we have all the ingredients to make pizza!



We used soft tortillas for the crust and Kaiden personalized each of our pizzas with toppings - olives, onions, tomatoes...He was very thoughtful when deciding who got what toppings!

And to make things even funner this evening - Kaiden got a letter in the mail from our friend Jenn, and inside was a sheet of paper containing coupons to color and cut out just for mom. He hid in a corner being super secretive not letting me know what he was up to. A bit later he hands me a coupon, cut and colored all by himself, entitling me to not have to do the dishes for a whole week!!!!

Kaiden was so proud to be helping out tonight in such a fun way! And even though a nice mess was made I was happy to oblige!
