You Dress Up For Armageddon

Helloooooo friends. So I've got  rad story to share. But first let me tell you about Saturday: We've been to the zoo about 8 times (well I most certainly have) and Saturday was the very first time Jill & Mia saw the sea lion/harbor seal show. That was actually the main reason why we even went to the zoo that day. I wasn't certain how Mia would do just sitting in the benches, but ocne the show started she was absolutely riveted. She would clap and point to the animals, and wave as they'd do tricks. She'd even talk to the strangers next to her pointing out to the pool saying "SEALL!!" All in all, great time. So on to my rad story: Sunday, me, Jill and Miss Mia went to the park and took the dog for a walk. Jill had an idea to bring the bike and Mia's helmet and see if she would want to take a ride. Sure, why the hell not. Got her in the bike seat, strapped the dreaded helmet on that she absolutely hates and headed down the bike path. She through a mild fit going down the path and sorta calmed down later. Not a bad first ride at the park. Monday, another gorgeous day out so I tried again. This time, built the bike ride to be an exciting adventure. She would respond with "oh boy oh boy! With helmet Daddy!" Umm okay perfect. Sure. Pulled out the bike then carefully strapped on the helmet. She was amped and ready to roll. Awesome! And off we were. bike riding, together. Daddy and daughter. This was what I wanted to do this summer. I wanted to go bike riding with Mia so badly, and for a short while she wasn't interested in it. Monday morning was amazing. We actually rode for a mile. She enjoyed pointing to the dogs, waving to some of the neighbors and laughing as I had to pedal hard up some of the hills. We came back to the house, and of course she said "AGAIN!!" The last few days have been cold-ish and rainy so we haven't gotten back on the bike sadly.

Last night she was finishing up with bath time and I recently found out that there was a Chelsea game on my day off :) So I told Mia "Do you wanna watch Chelsea and Juventus tomorrow??" "OH BOY OH BOYY! GO CHELSEA!!" It was awesome. Wednesday morning I told her "Miaaaaa we're going to watch the Chelsea game today!" She got super excited. Didn't sleep well due to Jill having to get up in the morning early to photograph a school. But later got enough sleep to enjoy our day together. Oscar's two back to back goals were sick. But of course Juventus some how caught  up and tied the game. Damn! Oh well.

Art is kind of at a stand-still at the moment. Slightly because of motivation, mostly because the creative wheels in my head aren't turning (regarding the MLS Milwaukee team logo & kit) I'm trying to nail some really good rough sketches. Nothing clicking as of yet.

Seems like Summer is ending and Fall is just about here. Love the Fall time, but sort of sad to see Summer go. We had a scorcher of a summer this year, but there is more daylight to enjoy in the evenings. Oh well. Still stoked for Halloween :)

That's all for now. Adios :)
