i took the kids to midvale, to walk the streets. parker said to me, "mom this looks like a gangster place." there were lots of thrift stores, and signs in spanish....but it definitely wasn't "gangster." quincy's coat is my favorite. it was $5 at old navy. she hates it. she left her frost free on the bus last week, and hasn't gotten it back...so she's learning her lesson the hard way. i think it's funny i ask Q to smile and she does the forced grin. as we were leaving midvale quincy asked for a picture by the "coke sign" we were parked on the road right next to it. and of course, girlfriend gives it her all. she's such a pill.
