This past weekend was so full and so fun! Saturday’s Stockade Art Show yielded a really great turn out of talented artists and enthusiastic viewers. The Arthur’s team killed it on prep and flowed so well together during super busy hours both Saturday and Sunday! And it all felt extra special because my family was able to join me for much of the time I worked our “quick-grab” table outside.
Seeing Hal and neighborhood buddies hanging out on the sidewalk, having him stand behind my table on a cooler and “serve” customers with me, and watching him engage so happily with others filled my heart. I also felt so supported (for the millionth time) by my husband, who gets the real childcare credit and who spotted us on emergency phone charger and ice runs, and by all the loving adults around me (Susan Conway!) who held Hal or kept him from falling off the cooler when my “helper” needed a little help and my hands were full.
They say, it takes a village, and I guess this is my way of saying “thank you and I love you” to that community!
