Squishy eyeballs

Meagan blew her entire allowance on a bag of 20 squishy eyeballs. Because I was in a hurry, I decided to forego the "why don't you SAVE your money and buy something you really like" lecture. Besides, these eyeball are what she really likes and I have to admit they've been worth at least $3.99 in entertainment value






We took our annual trip to Brown County over the weekend....winter coats and all. It warmed up decently enough in the afternoon to torture the kids the taking family pictures in the park.

Ballerina

I took some shots of NiNi in her ballet "get-up" and then played around with them in photo shop. The picture above is with a filter called "cutout" and the one below is in film grain.


I don't know that I have documented on NiNi's clothing fetish lately. I know that most 3-year-old girls to like play dress-up, but she is WAY into clothes...and shoes, and accessories and jewelry. In fact she goes through about 5 different outfits a day which are then deposited over the house. Most days I can fine her in her favorite dress which is a blue and white polka-dot halter dress (she likes to see her back in the mirror) with her rain boots and 4-5 ponytail holders around her wrists and ankles. Never mind that it is getting a little chilly for halter dresses...and when I wash it, she says accusingly, "Hey! I was looking for dat dwess!" The other day she wore it to get our flu shots and it happened to be about 50 degrees outside. The nurse said, "Aren't you cold, honey?" all the while giving me the "why don't you have her dressed appropriately for the weather" evil eye. The way I see it, I have a lot of battles to fight, and I don't think clothing should be one of them. She's old enough to complain if she gets too cold. She certainly complains about other things.
