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...

See 3rd & 4th photos for Friday fashion challenge . IF you have caption ideas, please send them!


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...

Mother's Day weekend, aka 'the Eat-a Thon' !
















I totally have to hit the treadmill or something today.
















We went out to dinner Friday, sort of an advance celebration of our anniversary and Mother's Day. Dinner chez nous on Saturday, london broil, teryaki shrimp and shrimp and scallops marinated in a chardonnay garlic sauce. Yes, I sauteed food, and no kitchen fire! Smoke alarm didn't even go off...

Kept it low key today, avoiding the Mother's Day restaurant hysteria.

more diva girl fun ...


And the number 1 reason she is not driving until she is 30...! That is some wicked grin!













Fashion Fun all week long...
















We got a trunk full of dress up clothes, courtesy of cousins K & M, via Grammy, and Mary didn't need any encouragement to go all diva girl a few days ago!

Yes, the disney shorts are on backwards, logo should be on the derriere..., yes, the living room is a train wreck of toys, neatniks we are NOT, and that is regis and kelly in miami, on the big screen tv. And the refrigerator has become my backdrop stand for hurried photo shoots such as this.

Grandpop T intro's Mary to the fine art of sculpting in marble





M likes to go see what TT is doing in the studio. She is also modeling her new bathing suit, which she has been wearing constantly as a shirt too. May have to buy a 2nd one to be the actual b. suit.
