Life is a Stage

While I do Jess' hair she likes to play with a plastic giraffe and a plastic lion. She's named them after characters from he Lion King II. This time she didn't have them so she used her hands. I didn't notice until her hands started arguing with each other and her little fingers were going like hummingbird wings. She did the same thing with the crayons the other day. The colorful 8 pack had been cast into another feature film, and then her play veggies... she made me "dinner" and as I was pretending to eat, she informed me that I was eating Little John the avocado.
With minimal protest, our cat Edison has become a thespian extraordinaire. Jessica likes him in the roll of Princess Ballerina. I tried to explain that Edison is a boy. She told me "Well, he's a girl now!" Good Luck Edison.
I think she'll be surprised when she finds out that animals aren't all made of plastic. 4-H might be shocking for her.

Happy Birthday from Pollyanna

Happy Schmappy Birthday to me!

So, I know this is late, not that anyone is surprised...but I wanted to say thanks to the girls for the fun birthday lunch. ( I wrote proper Thank You notes and delivered about half of them so far..duh.) And then to make it even sweeter, Pollyanna (who has entirely admirable talents) made me a fantastic fondant mad hatter birthday cake! She made the fondant out of marshmallow so it tasted as wonderful as it looked! I took pictures of the art.

Jess and Wes on the first day of Kindergarten

Jess and Wes on the first day of Kindergarten
Jess woke up on this particular morning in rare form. She usually doesn't care what she's wearing; her birthday suit is just as good as anything else. On this day inparticular, she informed me that she didn't want any bows or bands and that she had her clothes picked out. Was that Kindergarten or 8th grade?
