Jude sportin' his super cool tie dye he made.   I am jealous of his technique.  I helped him fan fold it and secure it with rubber bands.  Then I let him have at it with the dye.  It was super controlled from a kit.  Just three colors in squirt bottles.  I love how kids are so uninhibited in their creative endeavors.  Adults are focused on the final project/results.  Kids can get lost in the process.  
Ok, now for some honesty.  I think I am having a mid-life crisis.  Not the 'get a divorce-buy a motorcycle-pierce my ear' kind.  More of a "ok I quit my job and what I have done my ENTIRE life no longer appeals to me" kind.  I started out teaching art 11 years ago and somehow morphed into a preschool teacher.  I don't know what I want now.  A studio? A new profession? No profession?  How can I be 34 and not know what I want to do with my life?  I have never been ho-hum about anything.  I am trying to embrace the idea of an opportunity presenting itself.  But how hard should I look for this?  Doing something with art again would be amazing.  But what I really think about is my love for music.  Those who know me day to day, know my obsession with music.  Even as I am writing this, I am drumming my fingers on the counter, thinking....thinking....Goodness, I love this blog. It provides space for me vent.
Have a great weekend!
