Building

4! [that's four factorial]

My girl is four now! Tillie had a lego party this weekend and invited many other 4 year olds.

It was chaos! (the fun kind, of course)

New Friend

I've spent the last four days falling in love with my new friend Cassius. Newborns are like ambrosia for me--I can live off their essence. This is something I did not know about myself 4 years ago. I'm very happy to know it now. As much as I will miss this little guy, I am ready to come home and snuggle my own babies.

Bowling Team

Tillie goes bowling with her friend Salim. Check out their bowling forms! And their scores! (Okay, there may have been some gutter bumpers, but that doesn't diminish my pride.)

Porch Pops

The Book Worked!

This picture is funny only in ways that very-sad-but-funny-because-it's-true things are funny.

Bonus! making-of footage:

Maria Von Flopp

Tonight was an epic fail of an attempt to take my daughter to a special sing-along presentation of the Sound of Music with a costume contest at our local historic theater downtown. I didn't have time to complete my Maria Von Trapp costume, but I did manage to get Tillie into her Mini Maria outfit. That part was not a failure, of course. The failure was that they did not accept my free passes for the "special event" and I didn't want to shell out $30 for a movie that Tille was likely going to bail out of after only 30 minutes. Oh well, at least the sympathetic ticket-taker (ticket-rejecter?) appreciated my efforts.

I guess Poppie needed a tune up.
