Family Pictures 2011

What's that you say? You'd like to think that it's easy.

  I'd like you to think that too, for no good reason.

 But 208 speed-shot pictures later we'd both be wrong.  

At least we had a few hearty laughs and a boot of cold water and some freaky moss to snap us back into our model best. It's just one of those things.

May I be the first to wish you a wonderful time getting your Christmas cards ready.
Sincerely,
me

Just Playin

Daddy daughter day. Photos by Jake.

 And I was at a training courtesy of Chief Seattle Council, BSA.

And they went to the Pacific Science Center. Butterflies beat out airplanes.
Next time you can pick, "Okay, Dad?"

Very Bio-Sciencey. These girls touching everything. 

...I don't think they knew everything was alive, in a sense?

Okay, well, the pigs heart was the exception. But they were *invited* to touch.
And both girls have a thing for being "grown up" and donning gloves, etc.

It was a delight to see I don't give them enough credit. They put this
ambiguous puzzle together, in no time, no prob.

I think their most creative play was with the purpley-pink wall outside
in which they could see themselves.

Big City day, in the fall!

Yep, Just fun.

Costume Mash

It was fitting.
I had a puppy that licked the frosting off the three cupcakes she won at the cake walk.

A kitty, who during waiting in line would nonchalantly reach back to swish her little black tail in dawdling hands.

I had a few people complimented me on my "butterfly" costume.

And since then, between special programmed consumption of: Halloween candy, whole nuts and carrot sicks (and hiding the Nutella and juice boxes until tomorrow to balance our sugary withdrawals), I think we survived this mash-up of an occasion. Note: Fun, but not my favorite.

"...You can't escape our magic..."

Hope you had a kooky one!
Happy Halloween.
