Light You Up

Good evening. Going to make this quick, hopefully. Still waiting on consistent warm weather here in Wisconsin as it's pouring on this dreary Sunday night. Monday on the other hand, was really nice out. Mia had a 2nd round of pictures taken at school complete with graduation photos with cap and gown! It's hard to believe her school year is almost over. She wore the nicest dress on the rare warm day we had. Sadly the weather didn't last. School is still going well for her. Wednesday after school, BFF Olivia and Mia went to Chuck E Cheese. Mia still is afraid of Chuck so when he came out and danced and tossed tickets to the kids, Mia hid, but Olivia ran out and grabbed some for her. Such a sweetheart. The kids played a bunch and picked out some prizes. I hope they can keep their friendship as long as possible.

Anyways, throughout the week, I've been doing some Torrent stuff and started the salon logo in Illustrator. I'm still baffled by this woman's concept that she wants. It's just about complete so we'll see what she thinks. I found out this week that Mia's all-time favorite band Tegan and Sara are coming to Milwaukee in October, but unfortunately on a school night. I wish they were coming in Summer so I could take her, but it's just too late of a show. They're headlining a huge tour all across the globe. Mia was pretty obsessed that I told her we can't take her but alas, I'm going to make the best attempt to write the band, maybe have Mia draw the girls a picture and see if they can meet her downtown Milwaukee before the show. It's worth a shot. She's such a huge fan of them.

Speaking of music, she's been singing Maritime's "Light You Up" a lot lately and dancing in the car. It's pretty cute :) Saturday, the Torrent played their 3rd friendly against UW-Green Bay. I didn't go to the game on the cold and dreary Saturday, but I did stream it while cleaning the living room. They ended with a 0-0 draw and it sounded like the fans had a good time. Mia and I went to a cookout at my younger brother's house while Jill sadly had to work a 2-7. The kids chased each other around and Mia even drew the boys pictures. A lion for Cam and a Popsicle for Easton. She was pretty proud of her art and glad to have done it.

Later we had dinner with Jill and watched the Penguins vs Capitals game as a family. Those moments together are always short which can be pretty upsetting. I'm glad the good guys won :) This week, hopefully better weather, I want to finish the salon logo(s) and try to complete the Chelsea supporters banner for the Milwaukee chapter. The boys in Blue play the Spurs tomorrow at 2pm which I'll sadly miss. If they win or draw the Spurs, Leicester wins the league so I'm hoping they don't disappoint.

That's all for now, thanks for reading!
