Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my distinguished honor to present to you Utah's most recently discovered artistic genius:
Canon Elijah Roth
With his debut breakthrough piece, a triptych plus one entitled
I Feeling A Little Sick Today
I Feeling A Little Sick Today
Here on my blog, I've regularly shown you examples of my son Crichton's art work, while I mostly just complain about the messes Canon makes. But today, as I walked into the front room and saw the carefully designed arrangement of Halls cough drops and wrappers, it suddenly hit me that perhaps Canon is every bit as artistic as Crichton, but chooses to express himself with less conventional mediums (flour, popcorn kernels, sugar, play dough, sand, salt, Rice Krispies, Mary Kay Foundation, etc). The achievement of such remarkable beauty demonstrates a skill level and dedication to art far exceeding the naughtiness of opening all but three cough drops from a whole bag.
I would have loved to keep this masterpiece intact and undisturbed for generations to enjoy, but we live with Princess Beautiful and she has her own her artistic tastes.Feel free to upload the art and have it professionally printed and framed. Send donations for new carpet to my email account. Thanks, in advance, for your support.
5 Brilliant Bits of Inspiration:
I am alternately laughing, cheering, and saying auuuugghhh in that Charlie Brown frustrated voice you hear if you watch a lot of Snoopy programs......like I do these days!
I am telling you, watch out for this one....he is gifted. Mark my words!
Cheers!

PS.....I love the careful arrangement of the cough drops...and Sagan's response to the artwork. Hard to imagine she's already almost a year old!
Okay, I have to admit that I still read your blog despite my snarky comments earlier. I don't have the same political beliefs as you, but I love your insights on parenting. I'm sorry that I was a judgmental turd before, but this post is too precious to ignore.
Sometimes it's all about the attitude. I remember those years with my little ones- it's hard.
Logan was obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine and there's a cartoon episode which involved snow. Logan decided to recreate it in his room with flour taking the place of 'snow'. That wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't decided that it must subsequently rain!
You might just want to put up a sign "Please Don't Eat the Art".
I could see him as a performance artist!
can i just say I laughed at Kelly's use of the word "turd" in her comment. That's funny!
And your babies are precious.
