I’m sure they hear it a lot.. heck with 3 girls I hear it… “Wow you’ve got you’re hands full…” and I know it’s mostly well wishers.. the ones who tell you in the next breath to cherish it all because, ‘’… it goes by so quickly…” and it does.. it really does. However, this is what I know after our hour together - their hands are full but their hearts are overflowing for these four boys.

Jamie wrote me and said she couldn’t miss the opportunity for some messy fun with her favorite boys and thats exactly what happened. 

They painted and then they painted some more. First the canvas  then themselves and then each other.  The smiles and giggles.. I didn’t have to work for them.. I mean I gladly would have but I didn’t have to. I rarely do when paint is involved.

I know thats part of why I love these sessions so much. I know its part of why I keep holding them. The “Love for Lucas,” Crayola donations were born out of a moment Lucas’ mom wondered what his favorite color might have been. Every time one of these kids shouts out that they want blue or green or purple, I think of Lucas. I think of the thousands of Crayola boxes that have been donated in his name and I think of the hundreds of kids that have been able to shout out their favorite colors while being treat at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

So thank you to The Simon Family for bringing your favorite boys to meet me for some messy fun. I hope our time together reminds you that while your hands were so full of paint your hearts are so full of love <3
