All the Other Bits

Oh bother!  How did I get so far behind?  Oh yah, we had visitors.  And there are more coming.  Hopefully I can get on the ball and the posts will come fast and furious for a couple weeks.  Here goes!

                  
Spinny dress and bright smile!


Impromptu and unusually successful photo shoot.

First trip to the pool for the season.

                      
Oops, we had to make a pit stop at the playground while the lifeguard was on break.

Contemplating life’s complexities, contingencies and consequences.

                         
Finally pool time.  Hooray!

                                  
Cool dude and spunky monkey.

       
This kind of fabulousness again.

               

Honestly, I kind of pity people who don’t have young kids because they miss out on gems like this. 


              
I get bonus points for this little car, I think.  It was pretty cool.  It hung around the house for nearly a month before the “windshield” broke and the whole thing got recycled.  The connectors are a product called makedo that I picked up on clearance at a local kid’s store—they were a great find as they simplify the building process considerably and allow for fun things like steering wheels that actually turn!

And that covers the first two weeks of May, leading up to Grandma and Grandpa’s visit!
