Friday fashion fotos and fotos with the Ether Bunny



Mary and the "Ether" Bunny (as my fav anesthesiologist and brother calls him when speaking to his younger patients). Bad dr. jokes, hee hee.


At a local restaurant, the bunny suited dude was there, and they had a craft table where kids could make Easter themed bookmarks or decorate Easter baskets.
After running up to the bunny many times, Mary declared, "he's not a real bunny, he goes back and takes off his head", (gestured to indicate this). Ha, well that didnt take long. Maybe it was because she heard him talking to another customer, whom he seemed to know. Also, she noticed said bunny was wearing sneakers... i said it was becasue he was a 'city' bunny.The big center seam and obvious zipper up the back of costume was , I am sure, noticed. But she had a good time, fake bunny and all!




Friday crazy fashion stuff

The third dress, a few more parting shots...
















Trying on possible Easter Sunday dresses, with a difficult model
















We managed to try on 3 dresses, somehow, amidst silly, mini pout, passive aggressive and borderline tantrum modes...

A spontaneous dinner out with the maternal grandparents


Our little waitress will ask you "what you like to order?", and then say, I don't have that, I have strawberry shortcake.




Salmon with a 'sauce veronique', excellent, supposedly a light cream sauce, but it was so much more, almonds, halved red grapes, some kind of citrus-y thing going on , yum!

Looks like some sort of Wrinkle in Time/Stepford doll town

Going somewhere, Mademoiselle ?
Mary took this photo, in which I look like I have 'man hands' . Yes, it's a seinfeld ref.







NO, the chardonnay wasn't kickin in when I was creating 'architecture' with Mary and the residents of Mrs. Goodbee-Ville.

View the total chaos achieved in just 15 minutes of solid play time


This happened while I was doing the post-dinner quick fix clean up.

And these are from last Wednesday, an artsy 'playdate' with Mary and Grandmom creating. Good art won't match your sofa!
Mary was dressed for ballet class, as we were leaving from 'Grandmere's' to go to class. She is wearing her tap shoes. The upcoming recital should be a hoot, since all the girls seem to be twirling in different directions during the class. I do see progress, just hope they don't all freeze up on stage.







If the Shoe Fits, Buy it in every color!


2nd visit to the dentist, to get the remaining 2 (of 4) cavities filled.
We still took care to specifically pick out our outfit and footgear for the occasion.

First Tatoo
















And on this day, Mary applied several tatoos to herself, and then started on a one girl path to destroy everything in her sight or reach. At least she held the scissors down at her side, as previously instructed...

Practicing for American Idol














We are getting some pretty good mileage from this $10 keyboard from CVS. It gets used much more than its pink n purple disney princess counterpart.

Color sense + leg warmers + beach sandals = crazy outfits











Crazy outfits. Sometimes we(that's the royal we, at the princess trainer) change our clothes many times per day. Lately, we have found her in different pajamas in the morning. Different than those she had on when she was put to bed. Jammies with socks AND leg warmers.

A few more




Prepping for the dance recital in May

Here is Mary modeling her 'Ao Yai' (traditional Vietnamese dress)., that was given to her by Monique.

And this is the costume that she will wear in the ballet recital. Her class will be doing one 'ballet' dance, and one tap dance routine... same costume, Her first 15 minutes of fame!
