I hope that Will, looking back on today
Will remember a mommy who had time to play;
Because he'll grow up while I'm not looking
There are years ahead for cleaning and cooking.
So quiet now cobwebs, dust go to sleep,
I'm loving my baby, and babies don't keep.

Under the Big Top (aka-"I DIG Trucks")
















We visited the Great Circus Festival downtown this summer (it really was summer, despite the clouds, jeans and sweatshirts). Apparently it hadn't been here in like 6 years, which I didn't even realize, but I did know it was F-R-E-E so we headed down. We met up with our buddies Carter, Aidan and Liam and their mom's Jen and Amy. The circus stuff was a little weird and sketchy, but now that I think about it, the circus is supposed to be weird and sketchy, right? Lots of strange animals in way-too-small cages (look out PETA). Some guy in a jumpsuit doing "death-defying" stunts. Lots of cool wagons to look at. Turns out, our favorite part was a display of big trucks--bulldozers, tractors, etc. I believe the festival was sponsored by the company that make the bulldozers and stuff, which was why this was even there. This is Will's latest obsession. He was in heaven. Very upset with me that I could not unlock these highly dangerous machines and let him have at it, but he liked climbing on and in what he could.
