"T"ea is for Toes

A tradition has been born here on the home front. Friday is the day that Biggest Brother, Younger Brother, Big Sis, and I all attend classes on their homeschool's campus. And Daddy has the whole morning at home with Little Sis and Princess A.

The tradition began a month or so ago with a Friday morning tea party complete with the use of the good china and chocolate milk (and very vanilla soy milk for Princess A of course.)

And it has developed into a much anticipated weekly event.

Now, it is a Daddy and princess(es) tea party preceded by a royal pedicure.

And believe me, toddler toes are not easy to paint! Not only do you have to get them to hold still long enough to maneuver the brush within the tiny workspace, but then you have to keep them from bumping anything until the polish is dry.

I have to say he does a darn good job!

Two weeks ago they were red, last week blue, and this week purple!

You look lovely ladies!

And your tattoo tough Daddy is pretty cute too.

Brush and Floss

I wonder if I should tell J that I caught Little Sis vigorously brushing her hair with his toothbrush, or let him figure it out on his own...

Mmmm, tasty!

Worthy Intermission

Where have you been for the past 8 days?
I'm so glad you asked!
I have been crazy busy and contending with a healthy dose of computer problems...neither of which are conducive to projects involving picture files and the internet, unfortunately. :(

Hopefully, I will have the problem straightened out soon. I'm guessing that further backing-up and consequently deleting the some 20,000 images currently hanging out on my hard drive would be a good start. :)

In the mean time however, I shall entertain you with this priceless picture of Big Sis. I posted it a few days ago on my Facebook account. But being that I know more than several of you are not on Facebook, I just have to repost it here!

Prior to a portrait session earlier in the week, I was having an issue with one of my lights. In order to diagnose the problem, I called Big Sis into the room to be my test model. I just happened to catch her off guard straight out of the jumparoo and ended up with this totally hilarious pic. It looks like a mugshot of someone from Fame! I laugh every time I see it. Enjoy! ;)

See Princess A...

See Princess A run.

Made you smile, didn't it?!

:)

Bad Deal

Me: "Okay girls, I'm ready to play Barbies now."

Big Sis: "MOMMM...[Little Sis] told me when it was time to play Barbies she'd give me back Belle!"

Me: "[Little Sis], did you tell [Big Sis] that you would give her back Belle??"

Little Sis: "I lied to her."

On the upside, I am wholly convinced that Big Sis will make the very best college roommate imagineable.

She has a superb ability to coexist peacefully with anyone!

Update Actualizacion

I'm a few days delayed in posting this; but as it turns out, the Tooth Fairy pays extra for translation services...

And the next morning as Younger Brother sat eating breakfast with his loot spread out before him, he lost another tooth! Yes, this time it was his top front tooth. Aaaaand, he swallowed it.

Biggest Brother was just tickled pink (and wasted no time in reminding me) that I would need to write yet another note to Younger Brother's, "Spanish speaking" Tooth Fairy.

Thank you, Biggest Brother!

As dictated to me by Younger Brother and translated by babblefish.com:
"I accidentally probably swallowed my tooth maybe. Please still give me money and visit me tonight."
