Raising Grass

One of my favorite quotes:

{My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard.  Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass."  "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply.  "We're raising boys."  ~Harmon Killebrew}

These pictures remind me of one of my most favorite quotes.

Sure, the mess on the patio and table took a bit of time to clean up. But I'm not trying to raise a picture perfect (or 100% clean) home. I'm trying to raise children.  Children who like to paint on themselves. One day soon someone will tell them they are not supposed to paint on themselves and they will believe it. But until then, I'll cherish this art.
