desk work.

pssst. guess what i'm doing right now?  okay.  i'll just tell you.  i'm printing off my thesis.  YES.  three copies to send out to the reading committee, and then i will meet with them in two weeks for my thesis defense.  WOOHOO.  So i am done.......ish.  I still have the defense and everything, but i really can't help but celebrate this moment somewhat.  actually, my insides are throwing a little dance party quite similar to the one henry threw in the kitchen a while back.  now, i am going to study study study and prepare myself, but, i thought i deserved some blog time first.  have you been enjoying the henry overload lately?  GOOD. because i have even more for you.  
i was in the storage room the other day...can't remember why, but i came across this little chair that my brother and i use to sit in and play with and also this small table.  in fact, henry's great-grandma bernie used to play with them when she was little--how cool is that? I thought, perfect--henry has been running around like a mad man lately, pretty sure its spring fever and we have got to get him outside, it's just so hard right now with all the gloppy sloshy slush junk everywhere, and we had been waiting for some mud boots to come in the mail, because i had to order them online because i cannot find mud boots in his size anywhere--whoa tangent.  anyway, he has been running around like crazy, so i thought this would be nice because it would encourage him to sit...at least for a few minutes, so maybe i can go to the bathroom...or cook some toast...you know-- do things.  AND tada--he loves it!  he thinks he is such a big boy when he sits at his table--heck, he is a big boy!  he even pushes the chair in when he's done :)  I decided this was the perfect photo op since he was still, so i got my camera out and snapped away while he colored.
 of course, coloring can become quite complicated when you try to color with all of the crayons at once.  but henry enjoys a good challenge :)
even great artists need a snack break.
