watermelon.
popsicles.
almost anything on the bbq.
grilled corn on the cob.
potato salad.
mcdonald's vanilla cones. that's right. i support mickey d's. for $1.26, i become one of the billion served.
i could eat all of these every day, all day long. looks like my muffin top is going to have to wait.
pete, izzy and i. that's right. we even drove 30 or so minutes to a prime location to see them, and we didn't see any. well...maybe a warning one.
i guess that's what happens when you can't get an infant to take her second nap of the day (her nap schedule, not mine) and expect her to be miss happy and not a miss crankypants. the next hour or so after we left the spot was filled with ear-piercing crying until she tired herself out and went down for the count. i wish i would have gotten a picture of her sprawled out exhausted from her day, but my nerves were already shot and worn by then. i soon joined my child for a night of z's.
whatever. it was all worth it. even just to get these pictures from the bbq/swim party we went to at our friend's house:
ignore me in the last photo. that is definitely not the cute part.
oh, before i forget. thanks again, katy and bella, for letting izzy borrow your swimsuit and hat! even though izzy didn't like the water that much...
This is a totally random list of suggestions about some movies I have seen lately.
First off:
Caddyshack. This movie is overrated. I mean its funny, but not that funny. On my list of the funniest movies ever, I don't know if it would crack the top 100. And as far as golf movies go, Happy Gilmore is much funnier.
Master & Commander Far Side of the World. This a great movie. The first time I saw it I wasn't sure what to think when I left the theater. But the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. On the second viewing, I liked it even more.
A Prairie Home Companion. I loved this movie, however I could see other people not enjoying the film so much. I guess I have a few things going in my favor. I live in Minnesota, I love listening to the radio show, and I enjoy a lot of the director Robert Altman's other films. So anyway, those are some suggestions. You can take em or leave em, dontcha know...
Hello All. I don't know if it's still called the WWF. I have not watched wrestling since I was in 6th grade, and I didn't even really watch it then. Anyway, my point is that running around pulling moves like a powerdriver, candylicious, the asiatic spike, and headbutts are all well and good if you are in the ring, but should not be implemented at work or in professional soccer.
Ok. OK. Nobody pulled out the Samoan Drive, but one of my co-workers did get headbutted last week. One of the IT guys was in the accounting office and said hello to one of the accountants. For all his trouble he got a headbutt in the face. That's right. A headbutt in the face for saying hello. That accountant was told to pack up his S%$& and was escorted out of the building (It was the second time in two weeks that he had done this).
The next hour after the incident was just as bad as ESPN covering some stupid story relentlessly till everyone gets tired of hearing about it. An analysis and breakdown from every angle till you want to tear you hair out (AKA this last Superbowl. I just wanted the freaking game to be done so I didn't have to hear about it anymore. I didn't even care who won, I just didn't want to hear about it). Well the analysis of the headbutting incident was not that bad and even a week later telling someone they better get something done or they will get headbutted still brings a smile to our faces.
i understand most moms are proud of their kid's reaching milestones or surpassing them even, but is it really necessary to tell me how "far behind" my child is? do i care that your child reached such-n-such milestone 2 months before my kid?
my answer? no. i don't care. good for you or whatever.
but, be a little considerate. show some humility. you're breaking the unspoken rule about how rude it is to brag and tell people how supposedly-awesome your kid is over theirs. oh? you've never heard that? well, learn it. otherwise, my big mouth is going to have a hard time keeping shut.
here are some more shots of the babe:
since most babies look like winston churchill, i figured i would make izzy a mini winston for the day. or the minute, rather.
here she is taking a nap on a rather hairy, but handsome man. she's not a chubby baby, but she is getting longer. i hope she is taller than my namesake.
this last one is in an outfit my mother-in-law (g-ma, but i really like gammy) gave us. it was supposed to be for pete's sister who is now 22, but i guess she never got the chance to wear it. it's so 80s, i love it. still a bit big, but she may be able to fill it out by the end of the summer.
izzy really likes to have one hand up by her head. usually behind her head. almost like she is posing for a picture. she is really touching her hair when she does that. i know all you bald babies out there are jealous. don't hate.
but just look at her. doesn't that face make you melt?
the smiles are coming more and more now. i can't wait for the laughter. btw, 2 things she loves to smile at that crack me up. the cactus and a light fixture on the ceiling that looks like a boob. sooooo funny.
