Improv Everywhere - you gotta see this!

I was just reminded of a fantasic YouTube piece I saw on some clever person's blog some time ago (thankyou whoever you are!) by Improv Everywhere called Frozen Grand Central.

Heck, I could be really behind the times and you've seen it ages ago. But just in case you haven't, I'll let them explain it....

"On a cold Saturday in New York City, the world’s largest train station came to a sudden halt. Over 200 Improv Everywhere Agents froze in place at the exact same second for five minutes in the Main Concourse of Grand Central Station."

It is so clever and so funny. I guarantee it will bring a smile to your face. I cried with laughter. Check it out here.

Thanks to 52 Projects for the reminder about these guys. 52 Projects have a YouTube piece up on Improv Everywhere's Human Mirror Mission. Lovely stuff. Go check it out too.

And if anyone can teach me how to get a YouTube video into my blog post, I'm all ears!! Teach me oh Blog Masters!

Hope you're having great week!

PS And thankyou to Tania of The Crafter's Companion fame (I have been coveting this book for sooo long... birthday soon!!... maybe??) for the link to 52 Projects!

Little by little

Well, I think I'm getting the hang of this now. And even though I'm not posting regularly yet, I am starting to view the world in a different way. I'm taking more notice, getting the camera out more often and storing thoughts away in my head. I'm noticing the little things.

And I look forward to sharing more of those things as time goes by. I also look forward to my blog becoming some kind of journal or diary that I hope my boys will be able to appreciate as I share some of them here, as I see other blogging mothers do. What a wonderful record of them as they grow. So much more than a photo album. Isn't technology fantastic.

So, I'd like to introduce them to you - please meet my two lovely boys, Zak and Finn. They will be 5 and 3, respectively, in October. I know other mums give their children nicknames online and I'd welcome anyone's point of view as to why you prefer to write about your little (or not so little) ones this way. I'm not sure that anyone could work out where exactly we live from my blog so I'm not sure why the altered names are necessary. Please share if you have any thoughts on this.

Here is a little something from our moveable gallery (aka, the pavers out the back). It's getting rather full so we will have to have a hose down soon so that my little artists can start again...

Here's Zak's chalk man - he's only recently started to really get into making drawings of recognisable things, previously always preferring to draw in the abstract or have me draw something for him. So I love this one... and the lovely foot.

Then there's Finn's chalk house. There's such beauty in simplicity....

Then a butterfly for Mummy from Zak....

Lovely boys.
