Jack Attack: Happy Summer

There are moments in my life, often the most trivial or seemingly meaningless, are the ones that I wish I had a picture of. Of course, my camera is not within arms reach for the majority of these mundane daily occurrences that might mean nothing to the average guy, but to me are everything. Any parent might have a shred of an idea of what I am talking about.... Being greeted with a huge toothy smile first thing in the morning upon opening your child's bedroom door. Watching them miraculously master and use words like cylinder and trapezoid. Catching them opening up their art kit on his own (while Daddy left the room) and taking the cap off of every single marker and organizing the caps by color. That last one, the non-washable marker one, was where the distraction of his first visit to the ice cream truck couldn't have come at a better time. (marker was all over the toy box, hands, paper....)

I was lucky enough to remember to grab my camera as I grabbed my kid and headed out the door just in time to greet Mr. (Miss) Softy. Well actually I missed the actual truck and the money exchange but I did get the devouring of the cone. Chocolate with chocolate sprinkles, just in case you were wondering.
