Technically, this isn’t an artwork. It’s just a photo of my older kid (in green shirt) and her bestfriend.
She hasn’t had the time or the interest to create works of art today. She’s been too busy making and flying kits. So far, they’ve only been successful at launching one kite, the first one they both made the other day. But, nothing can stop them. They’re gonna keep trying until the end of summer. Because what else would they be doing?
After all, summertime is all about kite-flying and running wild and only remembering to smile at your mother for the 10 seconds it takes you to get inside and grab a drink of water. Then bang! The fridge is closed and you’re off again to God knows where, forget that clingy mother who wants a kiss or a hug or a cuddle.
Ah, childhood. Freedom. Summertime.

Very adorable picture. Yes, children are too busy to bother with mom’s hugs. Ha This takes me back to my childhood when my 2 brothers and I made kites and spent hours flying them. We often had to have Dad help us, because we were not the best kite makers in the world. Thanks for this post, it helped me remember being a kid.

Growing up with brothers must’ve been a lot of fun. I grew up with sisters, but we were all tomboys so it was still fun. lol! I think I was trying to recapture my own childhood on this post. Glad that it helped you dig up some fond memories too. 🙂

My sister was 4 years older than me. She had nothing to do with my brothers and me. She stayed indoors. I was a tomboy and had great fun with my brothers. Glad you and your sisters had so much fun together. Ah, childhood, such a great, fun, carefree time!
