The importance of exposing children to the arts

I wrote an entry for Chicago Street Theatre's blog.  The kids and I performed in a summer production of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.  We performed at two free community events at Valparaiso's Central Park Plaza to audiences totaling over 2,000 people!  Then we performed our show 6 more times at the intimate Chicago Street Theatre.

This has been a truly awesome experience for me and my children.

Please read my piece here, as a means to support the theater.

Enjoy these pictures on my blog.  My kids totally have headshots.

Here and now

Luna is sleeping with her hand under her cheek.

Tulip is wearing a dress inside out and backwards.

Wolfie just told me that he would like a new "guys walking around" type of game for the Wii, like Batman or Pirates of the Caribbean.

I don't want things to change at all.
