Milestone, she can write!

Grandpop TT wrote/drew a note today, to indicate where he was going to be, and Mary copied the words he wrote! See the picture.

The Songstress

Not sure what song she was singing, but I love the attitude!

The 3rd annual Asian Heritage Festival

Last Day of Pre School, on to Pre K 4 this September!

Can I have an 'eye roll" please!

Oh boy, if looks could kill.. I don't even want to project to the tween years! LOL!

Fun n funky Fashion Friday passed by before I knew it, oops

So here are a few more photos of

Miss Pas de Deux, in an effort to get our $70 worth out of the costume. The test subject cooperated in putting on the costume, and did pose, though I now have at least 30 more photos of the back of her head!

Also, the kitchen in PB Kids, and a very frilly room set up, bit much for my taste, but cute all the same!

Dress Rehearsal video

We didn't say "break a leg" to Mary prior to her performance, as the ensuing explanation would have taken too long! Next time she is on stage, I will explain it to her. Anyway, this is all the video we have. For the first dance, I thought I had pressed the record button, must have hit it twice, and it was on pause for the first minute ... darwin award for me!

Mary's first ballet recital

Blurb & Iheartfaces, perfect together

"Perfect together, like nuts and gum!" (Bart Simpson, author)

Ok, so I am quoting Bart Simpson, now. How the mighty have fallen! LOL.

Rehearsal for Sunday's Ballet Recital

And a few other shots taken at Lucky Duck Toy Store. Mary loves to play with the toy kitchen, and with the Melissa & Doug pretend food. Loves the wooden cookies with velcro to hold them on the cookie sheet.

The one liner possibilities are endless...

Two items on Mary's wish list for her birthday!

Don't rush it kiddo ! Mary breaks into fits of giggles when we go into this section of this particular off price store.

She was picking out bras and undies for me too. Had to exit that department before all the merchandise was in the cart or on the floor! : )

Didn't specify who had to be wearing the hat!

grapevined my way into finding this mamarazzi photoblog.

Daddy usually only wears baseball style hats, but now he will have to explain his choice of pastel pink.

More pictures of buildings and food...

I have used this lyric of David Byrne's before , but it is so often appropriate, since I always photograph food that has been 'plated' in style. And I also take photos of cool restaurants, exterior, and the bathroom if it is exceptionally well appointed.

blah blah, here are the photos...
