Here's my old Subaru. It has been sold. I drove it from 1995 to 2009. It was a good little car. It was blue on the outside and the inside. A lot of blue. That sticker on the top of the window on the passenger side says "Beastie Fever" and has the Beastie Boys' faces on John Travolta's body from Saturday Night Fever. That sticker was one of my favorite things ever. Anybody know where I can find a new one of those? Thanks Fluke for getting the photo!
I recently discovered these pictures from this winter on my mom's camera.
Daddy's girl.
This is random but when I was shopping for school stuff I saw this bulletin board display for sale. What? Why would I want a picture of Dustin Hoffman as Tootsie on my bulletin board? And is she pregnant? I'm sorry Booktable but you are going to have this in your inventory for a LONG time.
Hey Fluke, I like your beard like this.
When I cut my hair short, I'm gonna cut it like this. Not sure who this is...is she from Destiny's Child maybe? You have cute hair whoever you are.
This is what Abby and I do when there is nothing good on TV. No, seriously, have you seen the movie Parenthood? This is right out of that. What is it with kids putting buckets on their heads and then taking off running like they can see where they're going?
Abby's first REAL haircut. Thanks Sara! We packed lots of fruit snacks so her teeth would stick together and she wouldn't be able to scream too loud. It totally worked.
Abby's first time in the sprinkler. She wasn't real excited about it but liked it when Fluke picked her up and ran through them with her. Best happy-kid-face ever.
These next two are gross, sorry. Blood. I was leaving parent-teacher conferences this spring and I went to call Fluke to tell him I was on my way but then I stopped because I thought he might have his hands full with Abby. When I walked in the door a few minutes later he met me on the stairs and told be that Abby had fallen. Apparently our dumb dog had gone to chase Fluke in the tiled kitchen and knocked Abby over in the process. Abby's face hit the floor and her lip swelled up and I swear it looked like she had a beak, it was so puffy.
I was amazed how fast it healed. In only a couple of days, you couldn't even tell EXCEPT for that little thing on the middle of her top lip, you know that thing? A piece of it dried up and was hanging down and we didn't know if we should PULL IT OFF or let it fall off?!? Things they don't tell you in any parenting book. I think it fell off, I can't even remember but it was SOOOO Gross.
So Abby LOVES puzzles. I think they probably roll their eyes at us in the nursery at church because we walk in and I'm all, "get out the puzzles, Abby is here!" It's the only way I have figured out to distract her enough to get her through the door. Have you ever tried to fit a cat into a cat carrier, and they do that thing where they put all four paws around the carrier door and the whole thing makes you feel like you are in a cartoon? Taking her to nursery is like that only she is screaming GO-OH! (go) and DADA at the top of her lungs and people in the lobby ACTUALLY SAY, "whose kid is THAT?" Abby for some reason does not like nursery. Who can blame her what with all the toys and singing and snacks and games and walks? Torture. Anyway, they have puzzles there and she loves puzzles. I got her some of these magnetic puzzle books by Melissa and Doug (best toy company EVER) and she loves them. I was shocked how well she could recognize all the picture pieces from it so quickly. She is such a little smarty sometimes.
Modeling a favorite pair of pants at the top of the stairs for some reason.
Okay, so I'm gonna stop here so you don't get burned out. More tomorrow.
