No School today!

Well, Segundo Could not have been happier about not going to the academy today if he tried. His face was filled with sheer joy at the prospect of going to music class, a couple of errands, hangin' out in a cafe, and going home to the studio to paint.

Segundo, "Let's have cocoa!"
Mnemosyne, "That sounds like a good idea."
I order our drinks and he chooses a table - there are only two the choice happens quicker than usual
The Mocha and Cocoa arrive topped with towers of whipped cream we are both smiling with anticipation.
Segundo, "We should have a cookie, too."
I order one.
Mnemosyne, "Here you go, will you share a bite with me?"
Segundo, "This is good"
Mnemosyne, "Yes, do you want eat here or go outside?"
Segundo, "Let's sit on the wall."
Mnemosyne, "Another splendid idea, do you think we should go home and do some painting today?"
Segundo, "Mommy that sounds like a great idea, when we are done with our Cocoa."

We sit on the brick wall enjoy the warm sunshine and then head home. The afternoon is spent painting and sculpting, just wonderful. And I am amazed, once again, at the JOY of mixing colors.
