It's been a little (very) tough for me to squeeze in much 'art time' since I started my new job and work schedule.
In fact, this week I wasn't able to squeeze in any at all.
Last night, exhausted and with an aching back, I sat on the sofa and realized I hadn't even managed to do any lessons from the book we're now using in my Friday morning group.
I felt frustrated, cranky, and miserable, and I was just too tired to climb the stairs to my studio and do anything about it.
And then I remembered an easy little drawing project I'd been wanting to do.
I took the ten steps to the kitchen, got a Sharpie marker from the drawer, and took the eggs out of the refrigerator.
I sat at the counter and did this:
I was laughing, when I put the lid on the carton and put it back in the refrigerator.
I figured I might be waiting a few days for Miss Helping Hands (our main egg-eater) to discover them, and was just hoping I'd be nearby when she did.
But...
Tonight Prince Charming decided we should have what he refers to as 'big breakfast' for dinner.
All four of us went into the kitchen to prepare food, but I just sat at the counter and played with my phone; I couldn't get away with hauling the big camera in there, but I figured I could start snapping pictures with my phone without much to-do (this explains the upcoming poor photos).
I was so surprised by Miss Helping Hands reaction when she opened the eggs.
She literally pulled her hands away from the carton like she'd been burned.
"Why do they have faces?!"
"These are hilarious, but I can't crack them now."
"When I first opened them, I thought you were doing an art project and had just left it in there."
"Really. I can't crack them. They have faces."
Good thing Miss Mary Mack was home.
She didn't mind cracking them one little bit.
She liked playing with them, too.
I actually felt sad after dinner when I saw this:
When I pointed it out, Miss Helping Hands tried to bring comfort.
Yep.
I'm cracking up.
The yolks on me.
It was an eggcellent dinner, but it's ova.
Shell I stop with the puns now?
I will.
But only because I'm so tired...
...my brain is just fried.
