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.

She could not stop talking about this chair. Quote: " I want that for my birthday, or maybe for Christmas".
Expensive tastes, just like , hmmm, could it be moi?














(we were just looking, something to do on a rainy day)...

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.

Daddy multi-tasks while watcing M play on the swingset











Here is B watching vintage Lost in Space tv episodes on the laptop while watching M play on her swingset/play area.









Pretty bad when M knows who Dr. Smith is... The special effects on this show are hilariously bad!

Birthday Party at the horse farm
















We had a large horse farm next to our house, growing up. They gave riding lessons, but they never had birthday parties like this!

Food shopping in style


Ok, so I am late as usual in posting this for the 'Challenge'. It's probably not even Friday somewhere anymore...



















Food shopping with Mary is much more challenging now! If the kid sized shopping cart or the car cart is unavailable, we have had a couple of mini crying tantrums (and that was just me : ).



But sometimes we get through it without attracting negative attention!


Then I saw that the Salsa twins were also caught food shopping, in very spectacular style.

*Any shopping trip has become a tantrum waiting to happen, lately, here at our 3.5 year old franchise of "Meltdowns r Us" ! : ) Got through this one unscathed, happily!

assorted tableaux and vignettes


Highlights from the past few days, or as glen beck's tag line says, the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment
