Crazy yet fabulous weekend

I haven't posted this past week because my brother-in-law, Aaron, was visiting from London. We had a blast! He came for Ben's birthday...can't believe that he is 2 already! Our baby's birthday started with him going to the doctor's and finding out he has a double ear infection and while we were there he tripped over his brother's foot and landed face first into a cabinet! Got a lovely gash on the side of his head that almost needed stitches. Luckily we got the bleeding under control and held the slit together with tape. Poor kid, although he is so lovely you would never know that he was ill or cut.

Anyway, we went to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History on Saturday to see the dinosaurs. I have begun to really love dinosaurs. Never did I think that would happen but I guess that is what happens when you have 3 boys. So here are some funny photos that we took while we were there.

Max, Aaron and Ben acting afraid of the bear:



Then...heavy sigh...why is it so hard to get a good photo of 3 boys (click on the photo to see that the dinosaur behind Remy posed better than he did! LOL)...here is one of the attempts:


I will be posting my new finished illustration tomorrow. Just have bit left to do on it...stay tuned!

Have you considered doing dinosaurs? Did anything at the museum inspire you? I would love to see what you do with a dinosaur!
