Jake here... Heck, since my writing on here is actually a regular thing, I'm just gonna put J: at the beginning of my posts from now on. : )
Alright, so, you may recall, waaaaaaay back, a little less than a month ago that we went to Toronto, and to a little store I adore called the Magic Pony. There, a few things happened, involving my favorite artist, the spiritual experience of seeing his work, and a surprise that didn't work out. For full details, see the above link.
AAAAAAAAAAAAANYWAY, today, in the mail... I got THE package from Magic Pony. Of course, it was not only a brown box. Brilliant doodles and stickers adorned each side of this box, which was enough to get me excited as it was...
So, beyond the doodles and stickers, inside this magical parcel was what is almost sure to be the shining beacon of my Designer Toy collection... A Jellyfish toy, that had been drawn on ~ for ME ~ by Nathan Jurevicius himself.
This was almost too much for me. I can't describe just how brilliant this is... SO, I'll let the picures explain. (Note, I like the third one the best. o3o )

(Hey, Jake...there's even *green* in your *Nathan Jellyfish* pictures!! :)...
So, the other day when Jake asked, "Mom, can I draw on the walls?"...of course, I said, "Of COURSE!" And when he proceeded to draw on the walls in his bedroom, I whined, "Can't you draw on the walls out in our living area?"
Today, after he got his package from Nathan (and it was SO powerful when he opened that package and pulled out that amazing, personalized toy from his Art Hero...I was in tears!!...), he was inspired...
YES!! The wood-splitting is FINISHED for the year!!!
That's Dave's celebratory ritual... He used to hold the last one over his head and run around our house with it... But he didn't want to risk any back injuries this year...
:)
We celebrated with champagne and Sam and I invented a new game with the cork called *Plinko* (yes, *borrowed* from *The Price is Right* game). You throw it on the roof to try to get as high as you can without it going over to the other side...

I LOVE our friends at the *Pie in the Sky*!! LOOK at what they worked SO hard at growing for us...without any chemicals at all... Just the most BEAUTIFUL strawberries I have ever seen in my life...really...
All is Well.
