I live in Tucson, and our local paper is the Arizona Daily Star. Last week I was interviewed, and today a photographer came and took a bunch of pictures of my kids playing. I won’t tell you what the article is about, but look for me tomorrow. The photographer especially like some photos of my kids playing with water guns.
I just hope I don’t sound too idiotic in the article. You can’t control which part of what you say actually ends up in the paper.
Just as a template, howzabout you post a link to the online version of the paper?
It’s about me! That’s my daughter playing on the swing in our yard. And my boys are in the other pictures! Cool!
Beautiful kids!
Cool! Great pics!
Make sure you save a copy or four of the article for your kids. I had my picture in the paper once when I was, like, 3 years old and my parents kept it for me. Seeing myself in newsprint was a real treat for me every time I came across it. As a kid, I felt totally important!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing! I walked to school, by myself (and home for lunch too!) from the age of 5, back in the Dark Ages of 1968.
Hey, too bad they didn’t take your picture so I could recognize you at the store! I can’t see your son very well online, but your daughter is obviously quite beautiful. I’m headed to the store right now, will pick up a copy!
Nice! Thanks for linking!
I got a copy for each kid and one to keep at home. They all took them to school to show their friends and teachers.
I’m glad the article doesn’t make me sound too much like a loon. The reporter interviewed me and I said maybe 200 things and she quoted me on like 3 of them, and you never quite know which 3 things will end up in the newspaper. But I don’t think I sound too ‘out there’
Do free range children taste better than domesticated ones?
My daughter IS quite beautiful, thanks for noticing. When I went to get a copy of the newspaper, there was a stupid sticker-ad pasted right on top of her face! All the other newspapers were the same. Heathens.
Cool, Good Job Mom!
Loved the barefoot biker carefully snapping on his skid lid, what’s a few toes as long as the melon is protected! 
(or was that helmet for the photog’s sake 
)
That was Alex. He doesn’t wear shoes unless he absolutely HAS to, and I gave up that battle long ago. He wears sneakers to school and that’s all I can do.
The bike helmet is required at our house. I may be Free Range, but I know that some things, like helmets and seat belts give a LOT of protection for a little inconvenience.
When I took Alex into the orthodontist today to have his braces tightened, he said the whole office was commenting on how he biked without shoes. But he liked all the attention.
