2008-10-28T11:28:00.002-05:00

Why eat dinner when you can have the dance floor to yourself?

P performed her flower girl duties masterfully...until thirty seconds after the conclusion of this footage.

P just can't stand it when someone isn't having as much fun as she is...

2008-06-10T14:57:00.001-05:00

The crowning achievement of our vacation: 3 families, 5 kids stuffed into 4 booths at Friendly's and fed successfully. Thanks Lams and Kims for a great time!

P as Inspector Clouseau...

Melrose

2008-05-29T12:17:00.007-05:00

So we live in a building that sometimes has the feel of Lord of the Flies, sometimes a children's Melrose Place. The little kids are always outside playing, running, riding bikes, chalking, which is great. When P's not out there herself, she likes to sit and watch from our ground floor window. Here's P at the window. (Thanks to Roboto and the Genie for the "I heart Kevin Arnold" t-shirt.)

2008-05-29T11:51:00.004-05:00

Dad's been feeling a little odd though, because lately some boys have been asking for P a lot. Thing is, they don't necessarily want to play with her; it seems like they just want her as an audience when they do things. Except Kai, our neighbor upstairs, who actually is very sweet to P. But he scares off P by being too forward. (You can't just say hi and immediately ask for a hug, come on man.)

P and watchful Dad at the window with Kai.

The boys trying to impress.

2008-05-29T11:03:00.003-05:00

See, Kai lets P sit on his tricycle and even wears a "Korea" shirt (he's Japanese).

Kai eager to hold hands...

P not so much.

What can you say, apparently he isn't Kevin Arnold...

The best party ever

2008-05-27T12:07:00.000-05:00

Over Memorial Day weekend, our friend Sammy had the best party ever for his 3rd birthday. Two words: indoor carousel.

Water Works

2008-01-28T14:00:00.000-06:00

We visited the Kohl Children's Museum last week. It's a fun place, the highlight of which is the Water Works room. Who's afraid of child labor? Not P. She shows her industrious side below. Remind you of any famous, fictional, Milwaukeean workers?

Still love the Packers

2008-01-24T13:38:00.000-06:00

So the Packers lost. We watched the game in agony (not reflected in pics below), but our support did not and does not waver. Go Pack!! Brett, one more year! Below:P in her Packer regalia; with Mom, Dad, Bear, and her gameface; sharing food with her Packer buddy Sammy, age 2 1/2.

Chuchi's Party!

2007-12-27T10:01:00.000-06:00

Phoebe had a blast at the party for Chuchi (her daycare grandma in Jersey City). Maybe too good: hugging strangers in the buffet line, chasing boys, dancing up a storm...

kissing

2007-12-27T08:51:00.000-06:00

P kissing that boy at the party. Mom loves it, you can hear her cackling in the background. Dad I think is somewhere looking for a shotgun.

2. CLEMENTINES (we got a brand, on sale, of course, called "cuties." great name--to the point and catchier than "sweet easy peels")
3. SPINACH BROWNIES ("it's brownie time! well, spinach brownies, that is." thank you Mrs. Seinfeld for teaching mom how to make the best spinach dish i've ever had)
4. DEAN'S FRENCH ONION DIP feat. COOL RANCH DORITOS (mmm, delicious, mmm, 2 for 1 through Dec 10)
