Michelle is one of the few friends I am still in contact with from my days in Chico. We began our jobs at OSH the same week, worked our way through school slaving over 4o hours / week for just over 4 years; And then the best thing happened! We found other jobs and gave our 2 week notice on the same day! (Somehow that felt like the most cruel thing we could do as payback. We still hold to the fact that we were 2 of OSH's HARDEST working employees in the day!)
When we really think about it, Michelle and I have very little in common on the surface. She is stylish and can pull of ANY outfit (though working for Banana Republic and Gap does give her an advantage); I dress to be comforatble. She is artistic in all that she does, and followed her heart by majoring in the arts while in Chico. I, on the otherhand, have no eye for creating art. I just enjoy what others create. But somehow through the differences, our friendship just simply works. And I love that. Though we seem to have the hardest time getting together, when we do it's like no time has passed at all. She loves Sophia like family and jumps right in on the night time routines around here.
Needless to say, Monday's fun activity was finger painting. (Thanks to my 1 elementary art class while attending Chico) We took full advantage of the cooler weather and set up outside. Here are some pics from the adventure:
Sophia dipping her finger in the paints
Getting some paint on the paper
Thinking about tasting it
Digging in now
and then it started...body painting
It must have felt better than on the body than the paper
So we filled the pool, covered her body with soap and bathed in the backyard. Somehow nothing has felt as summer-y as this day did.
Creation #1
Creation #2
As you can tell, Sophia has an eye for color! So there is bound to be more creative arts days in the near future. Stay tuned for future artwork!
