iChalk

Paisley has been getting in some serious chalk time this past week as it is finally warm enough to get down on the pavement. She is drawn(no pun intended) to the works of Degas...

W.W.D.D(what would Degas do?)

searching for inspiration...where's my muse when I need her?

RIGHT ON DAWG!

We have a seven year old Standard Schnauzer called Olive. She's a smart dog, fairly unremarkable in the regular 'dog trick' arena, but boy does she know her way around a soccer ball! Lately we've been taking her out in the cul de sac to play, Piper actually gets frustrated because Olive is so good at dribbling. She can dribble the ball to you from 150 feet away IN A STRAIGHT LINE!

Perhaps she can be the mascot for P's team this Spring!

ACHOCOLYPSE NOW!

The Easter Bunny came...naughty bunny. Next year we will call the Dentist Bunny to cut him off at the pass. Our kids like chocolate.

PHOTOS TO COME

LET SLEEPING GNOMES LIE"Say hello to my leetle friend"

This is Fergus McHaggis...my gnome. I bought him home yesterday. He's tired. I've always wanted a little gnome, and now I have one.

Small things make me happy.

G.R.O.U.P.I.E.JUSTIN ROBERTS AND THE NOT READY FOR NAPTIME PLAYERS!

I never got around to posting about last weekend and the Justin Roberts concert. Let me roll the entire experience up in one little word...GROUPIE. No, not me, okay maybe I'm a little bit of a Mamagroupie for JR, but I'm talking about P.I.P.E.R.The kid is gaga for Justin...totally smitten. She started off in the back row with Mike,Paisley and me. Then before Justin came on asked if she could go down the front(which btw had already been turned into a moshpit for pre-schoolers!), slowly slowly she began edging towards the stage, towards center stage...until there she was...right smack in front...4 feet from her ROCK STAR hero!

there she is...inching closer!

She danced like a maniac the entire time, hoppin' and boppin' all over the place while I took photos! One of JR's team actually got up, tapped me on the shoulder and said "Is that your little girl, she has amazing style!"...awww, that's sweet...and a little scary

"Like this Mummy, wiggle it"

Paisley had fun too...but wasn't quite ready for moshing it!

O L I V I A!

My talented friend Jen made this amazing dress for Paisley...and it's flipping incredible! Paisley adores OLIVIA and when she saw this she went bananas! She already has a pair of red and white shoes she calls her 'Olibia' shoes, and when I put this on her she demanded Piper to go fetch them for her

"pweeeeese PI-PER, Olibia shooes...pweeese!"

Seriously Jen....this is the best thing EVER! Does this look like the happiest little girl you've ever seen!Piper didn't miss out...Jen threw in a little something for her toodrama-rama as expected!

LOVE YOU JEN! you made the girls day!

NICE SAVE!

We set up a little goal area for Piper today and kicked the ball around. She desperately wanted to be a 'goalie' even though her soccer team doesn't play with goalies at this age. She did a really good job at stopping the ball though! I think she's going to enjoy soccer this Spring!
