fat feet

someone has fat feet.

i'm not going to say who.

suffice it to say that i spent 15 minutes getting the cutest high tops (courtesy of aunt b) on these very fat feet.

it was a serious struggle.
i loosened all the laces....
i pulled back the tongue....
the foot would not go in.
try again.
step one...
step two...
this time i put the foot half in and then commenced a standing position to force the heel down....
no go.
step one....
step two....
this time over the knee, leg up, tap tap tap.
no go.
i took it to the level that the groom in cinderella could only dream of.....i was the groom, pen the ugly step sister.

THERE WAS ROOM FOR THE TOE

the foot was HALF in...

eventually i won (like i always like to do)

note: tears are not from shoes....someone with fat feet wanted to be held.

up, up i go

mother failed to realize that father did not set up the gate.

fools.

what's next pinky? why, the same thing we do every day.  try to take over the world.

Attention Sucking Monster Disorder

this disorder seems to be prevalent in children under 10 but can be found in some adults.

symptoms include

and sometimes can be triggered by desired objects.

in a strange twist, most ill effects are felt by those around the ASMD sufferer rather than the patient themselves.

treatment is still unknown....weekend caregiver breaks are the only known sedative.

because it's friday

the other day i noticed wild flowers in the alley....

and so, because it's friday, penelope and i decided to pick some.

except for the sunflower....that came from our yard.

one wacky wacky girl

recently the wacky one will get into moods where she likes to throw herself down and lay on the floor...then sometimes she pushes herself backwards, then sometimes she just lays there and sings....it’s weird.  i'm so glad.

your life may be more interesting but i'm gonna tell you about mine anyway

i wish i had something interesting to say, but i don't, the inside of my mind sounds like charlie brown's mother.

pilates in the park really took it out of girlie here.

this was 8am this morning.  i have no words.

the cutest girl in nursery (also the only girl in nursery that day)

a grad party.
