Sometimes a Toga is Necessary

An MFA = Mandatory Toga
%%%%%%%
(Elder Patton, this isn't horrid but use your own discretion. The word naked may be appearing a few times.)
%%%%%%%%

Sometimes it's great having a talented husband and sometimes it just causes random naked people to show up in your home.
Okay, maybe not random and definitely not in the flesh (thank goodness), but let's just say way more nakedness than I am  typically accustomed to.
Right now The Beloved is in the middle of his figure drawing class -
Lovely. 
-Figure drawing... hmmm... a little misleading and too innocent sounding. -
So, for all of you artsy fartsy people who think the body is beautiful, more power to you, but one small reminder: the word FARTSY is included in your character description.  Most people don't like fartsy or.... nudes. Shoot. Sorry about that.
I must admit, when I found out that The Beloved had to purchase a $300 statue of a naked woman for his class my mature side thought - no problem. But when the statue arrived, being taller than my two year old and having zero resemblance to the chubby hairy nudes I'd seen in previous art classes, I was a little dismayed.
She's really naked, like current nakedness, not centuries ago nakedness. There's a difference. Who knew? :)
Well my domesticness got the best of me and I made this chilly little darling her very own toga. And I think she feels so much better about herself.


The Beloved's art studio really is pretty cool and his class has consisted of more than just the clothing impaired.


 
But be warned, I have no idea what we're going to do with this statue once the semester is over... so you'd better watch out, you'd better not cry, you'd better not pout I'm telling you why...
I have a naked statue.
And I'm not afraid to hand it over.

Dance Party

One perk to moving back across the country is family, family, family. We're making sure we're included in everything :) and last weekend a few members on the Beloved's side of the family came to visit. Completely enjoyable.
We'd like to give a shout out to the other family members who were hanging out a couple of states away... we missed you greatly -
especially at our
DANCE PARTY!!
The Beloved set up the fog machine, red laser, and strobe light.
Whoot, Whoot!
Check out Little C!


The dog even got busy.

And you can't have a dance party without a slow dance.
That's right... so romantic, dancing slow, marching softly in a repetitive circle.
Our generation totally knows how to bust a move :).


These two little ones were so cute, copying the adults, circling about.
We'll end the photo shoot with two of our boys holding their new cousin. We were so glad we had a chance to get to know him.

The Beloved and I are so lucky to have an amazing family, on both sides. Thanks for coming to visit - we always love spending time with you.
