Monday Raine and I got to enjoy our first weekday off of the summer, and while it was rainy, we both basked in the warmth of our special time together and simple flow of the day. Raine had received a special package a few days before from a very well loved grandpa Jeff. It contained a crafty stained glass pirate kit and was immediately voted to be one of the things we did together that day. We got out all her brilliant color markers and set sail on the high seas of creativity and adventure. We laughed as we imagined what it would be like to live in such a world and what we'd be like as swashbuckling sword welding scallywags. I of course would be missing a leg and have a wicked temper while Raine would be sporting an eye patch and lurking in the galley(for were the food be so too will she)!
All of this silliness led way to some beautiful pictures and talk of tattoos and we decided right then and there that it was high time we both got some! Oh yes, you heard me right! For the next half hour those washable markers came in handy as we added vivid color to our lily white skin. Take that you untanable pasty palate! We drew ships and bones, serpents and hearts, an ocean, a cherry, and a blueberry tart. It was whimsical and heartfelt, a great start to our day. Funny how sometimes it is they little joys in life that simply carry you away...
