When Creativity Bites You In The A$$

Most of the crafty and creative activities I do are with my younger daughters. My son isn’t all that interested in “doing art” with us anymore. Not that he is not artistic mind you. He plays the guitar, piano, takes break dancing and hip-hop classes. He is a stilt walking, trapeze swinging, juggling on a drum, creative circus performer. But says, “I hate Art.” I think he means he dislikes formal art. Anyways, we have always nurtured our kids creative side. Encouraged them to try new things and persue their interests. To think outside the box and be individules.

Insert record scratching sound right about here!!!

Tuesday morning Jake removes his hood to show me this:

I was a bit taken aback-to say the least! Really it was more like, “What the @$**?” Not that I am against piercings. I have a nose ring and 4 holes in one of my ears, but not really into my 12 year old son getting one. Let alone doing it himself. Yes, I did say he did it himself. He pierced his own frozen ear with a safety pin he “steralized” by burning it first , after I went to bed Monday night. Can you say infection? Well, hopefully not. He has been cleaning it 3x’s a day. So much for encouraging all those creative ideas.

Thank you for having a son older than mine that we can use as an example in our lectures to Noah — we appreciate it!!

Wow Kristen! Great pictures! I love your blog, keep it coming. I think you need to blog about the various uses for breast milk! I’m still laughing!
