Fun Pics of the Liv'ster

First, let me say a quick thank you for the well wishes of the dearly departed pooch. She would have absolutely loved that I spent a few hours crying my little eyes out while cleaning up buried dog bones from the recesses of expensive leather chairs and pee stained carpeting and reading a few comments from her unknown but well intentioned dog posse out there in internet land.

Danka and Xie Xie.

Now, onto cutie pie pics that I took this morning after Liv found a pile of Ava's old hair paraphanelia in a corner that we were supposed to be cleaning. Remember? Dog bones and pee stained carpeting?

I wish someone would have told me back in early 2002 that little girls come with a silent contract saying that when you feed them yoghurt and hotdogs thousands of hair barettes , pony tail thingies, and clippies in every pastel color known to the rainbow will also mysteriously appear in your house. Then after 4 years they start to multiply on their own, sort of like hamsters and find their way to the corners of your house. It can be a problem if the family does not bond together and do a shamanistic cleansing at least annually.

Well, it's been 4 years of little girl hair. No one has done any cleansing. And here is the result.

Oh yeah, that thing is lavender. I think I bought it when Ava was 2 to match an Easter ensemble to visit the in-laws. Perhaps I bought all this crap because I was sleep deprived during Ava's baby and toddler-hood.














"Hmmm...Mommy, you told me you would always love me and never do anything to make me look like a chicken when you met me. Are you keeping your promise?"


Ok, fine. I like lavender just as much as the next gal.








That's it. I'm done, be gone with you. Turn on my music and let me take my nap. And take that 2 bit piece of lavender slip material with you.

LOL, you are hilarious Perrin! I've bought about 20 different clippy bow things (all Gymboree bargains!)... I was looking at them the other day, and thought to myself... I wonder if I'll ever even use these things?!!! Bella might not even have any hair!!!

You are SO right... we have a frillion small and shiny hair baubles dotting every open surface of our home... I tend to walk around picking them up and, so as not to lose them, absently clipping them in my hair, and by the end of the day I will have amassed an attractive collection. ;-)

Oh my! Those are some priceless pictures, which she will hold over your head some day!
I too wondered where all the hair stuff came from. My girls just discovered a secret store of such stuff on Saturday and scattered them everywhere in the house.
