Haiku my heart- anniversary

and six years ago
with love and laughter we chose
to face it together

My husband and I will be celebrating our sixth wedding anniversary this weekend.  So much has happened in this last six years- the most important being the birth of our two children.  We definitely do not look like we did in this picture!  A lack of sleep and the trials and tribulations of parenthood have definitely made us both look a bit more frayed around the edges.  But I am glad we are facing it all together.  
Hopefully this year we can try to go on a date!  

I missed my haiku last week.  I think my general sleepiness is impacting my ability to be creative.
This week I began work on my cigar box shrine.
Here is a peek at my first drawing...

She will be painted- and applied to the inside of the cigar box.
I have some other ideas that involve a jar of corn and chile that I bought tonight at Trader Joes.
More pictures to come!

Haiku my heart - branches

A second haiku - but no picture


It is past midnight

and I am sleepy

Haiku my Heart- Leo

You can melt my heart
with your laughter and kisses
my beautiful boy

I decided for today, I would write about my son for a change!  My little girl often steals the spotlight, but today she fell asleep in the back seat- and it was my little boy who entertained me on the drive home... blowing kisses at me and laughing with that tiny little voice that makes my heart ache.
 
I have been so busy with my monster art, raising my family, being sick, and working too much - that I have neglected my Caya Papaya blog.  I am definitely on the mend, and  have some art ideas that I need to work on before they escape me... so hopefully, this week I can check in before next Friday's Haiku!
