Things I love: beeswax crayons

It's been hard to come back to my blog this week. To face that fact that I actually wrote "I love snow" a week ago. Before four feet of snow was dumped on our city over the course of the week. The amount of snow is astounding.

Needless, to say, we haven't been going many places. And the time at home has been nice. The boys have played, colored, watched movies.

I bought Marlowe these beeswax crayons for Christmas. We've really been enjoying them.

They are smooth like pastels, but not messy. And the smell is a deliciously sweet waxiness.

I sat and drew with them. I drew pictures of spring leaves and birds. Ellis, who usually draws monochromatic line drawings, drew rainbows. Marlowe scribbled in circular patterns.
