Good evening everyone. Spring break has come and gone in a blink so a few notable things to mention tonight before diving into my upcoming crazy week. Early in the week, we voted in hopes of changing the Justice and school board. We picked up a new Justice of the Supreme Court but didn't get the guy the district needed for the school board. Bummer. Mia desperately wanted to hang out with friends early in the week as well. but a lot where busy so she was pretty bummed. She knew however, she'd get to go hang out and swim with BFF Cecilia, Hayden and Harper at the Princeton Club. First of all, really nice gym that literally has something for everyone. We where got in as guests because Hayden's family are members. Mia swam with her friends for about 2 hours while Hayden's Mom and I chatted in the pool as well. Leading up to the hang out, Mia just couldn't contain her excitement. Mia and Cecilia gave each other the biggest hug and it turns out while Cecilia was on her vacation in Mexico, she missed Mia. Mia excitingly brought her new underwater camera, however, after a few attempts to get the kids, the lifeguard told us "NO PHOTOGRAPHY". Fine, ya punk.
All the fun and swimming wore out Mia and she passed out on the drive into Waukesha. She had the best time, so I'm glad she got to have at least one really fun part of her Spring Break. Later in the evening, we got MOD pizza for dinner. Always tasty. The rest of the week, we didn't get to do a whole lot. Thursday, Mia hung out with Arabella, our friend Christina's little 4 year old at the studio and they colored together while Jill took photos of Arabella's little pineapple sister Penelope. She's adorable, and even Mia enjoyed watching her dance. The kids played really nice and it wasn't long before I had to split and go to work.
Friday, Mia showed me her break dancing skills after painting a couple of canvases. One was to hang by my drum set of a penguin and a drum, the other was a nice family portrait.
Saturday, we cleaned some of the house before I had to split to paint part 2 of The Flood's tifo. Upon unrolling the tifo, myself and one of our Flood brothers discovered the unfortunate damage due to rolling it too early. It needed a couple days to breath before rolling it up. So, we had plenty to touch up and fix. Had to cut off a couple feet from the top and re-do the top of the letters. I put in the swords and I think overall, it's looking pretty good. One more session left. I honestly don't think I'll have a time to go back in and complete it. The rest of April is booked and May is filling up very fast.
Later, we completed cleaning our bedroom, had some late dinner and called it a night. Today, I watched Chelsea blow a win against a team we should have had any problems beating. This season is such disaster and I sincerely hope we can figure out how to adjust and improve over the Summer. Something needs to change big time. We have 6 matches left and I don't think we'll get above 5th place either.
This week, I've got a busy one. Mia's back in school tomorrow, Wed I have to photograph a Waukesha school, after Mia gets out of school, I have a Journey to the Arts meeting. Later, Jill and I are going to raise hell at a school district budget meeting. The district is rumored to be closing Mia's school because of budget issues. Throughout the week, I'm going to continue working on the Footy collection for Ian Bennett as well as an attempt to win $5,000 to design a new NPSL women's team logo.
That's all for now, thanks for reading!
