Every day this summer something amazing happened. There was a moment a few weeks back when I wouldn't have been surprised if a full grown sparkly unicorn who'd been living in my closet pranced out and cooked me blueberry pancakes. I would've shrugged and though to myself "this is my life now."
It's just been a roller coaster of fantastic including drums and a birthday, fireworks, murals, mariachi bands, festivals, the Come and Go Motel Show, Glitter, book launches, skating, music videos, bike riding, George Clinton and the P-Funk, grilled cheeses in Chicago and Alt-J, Spoon, Tune Yards, a wedding, gardening, and giving. It's winding down this crazy summer, I'm looking forward to some giant art projects coming together and finishing up. We'll go camp at Willow Creek Folk Festival soon and then take a few days in St. Louis before school starts.
I know I always make this giant list of awesome and never hit any details of any of it. It's just all to fast. That's how it goes - when it's fun it goes very fast.

Jack and Thomas were playing hide an seek at the park tonight. I was wandering around in the clover field looking for 4 leafers and Thomas was pretending to run fast but actually going very slow and obvious so Jack could find him. Jack was pretending he couldn't see Thomas like an older kid does with a younger kid calling out"Wheeeeere's Thomas?! I just can't seem to find him!" as they circled the same tree; Thomas trying to get found and Jack trying not to find him; both of them playing to the other I took note and thought to myself "write this down." Both of them playing along for the other - it's just so sweet.
