Last night I was writing about caving. Tonight I’m writing about giving in to the call of Arts Fest, specifically the lure of cash at Kids’ Day.
Sadie is our maker-kid. It shows up in the kitchen and her bedroom and every once in a while it spills over to the dining room table. Such is the case tonight as she is scrambling to finish a zillion duct tape wallets, ziplock pouches, and hairbows.
I like a girl who has a bit of entrepreneurial spirit in her. She was sick for a couple of days, which put her a little behind schedule. I don’t know if she’ll make her quota tonight before she hits the wall. We’ll roll out to set up her little stand tomorrow morning.
While she was crafting this afternoon Josie, Isaac, and Annabelle were weeding a friend’s flowerbeds, earning a little bit of walking around money of their own. My guess is that some of that hard earned cash will find its way into the coffers of some of the kid vendors tomorrow.
When the kids got home from their landscaping, our friend told Kim that they should probably get a quick shower. Apparently they were working in the proximity of our 3-leafed nemesis, poison ivy. I swear that I react to it if I’m within 10 feet of the stupid plant. We’ll see if any of them are allergic to it soon.
If you’re downtown tomorrow, look for Sadie. If you need a duct tape wallet, she’s got you covered.
