Sleepless Slumber Party

Hannah loves to go get pillows off the couch and find her favorite throw rug and have Mom and Dad join her on the floor for a slumber party, and we all pretend to go to sleep. The funniest part about this cute routine is that Hannah never closes her eyes or stops flailing around - she is a ball of tossing and turning energy... We tried to get her to pretend to sleep - just for a second.... Needless to say, Hannah's first acting class took several takes. She did close her eyes in the end, but she isn't fooling anyone yet...

The Circle of Life

Step One: bring over sweet, charming home-made cupcakes...
Step Two: ask "Can I go inside? I just want to play with your toys?"

Step Three: "C'mon, please, I am really chilly..."

Step Four: "Hey, can I check out your bed room?"

Step Five: Get tossed out by Hannah's crazy mean old Dad.

Don't think I won't do it just because you are only three...

I am one more cuddly cupcake face away from joining the NRA.

This girl needs a HELMET!

More Drawing Faces

Hannah's dad has always been excellent at drawing, from a very early age. So it's no surprise that Hannah derives great pleasure in watching him at his craft as he whisks up Elmos and Cookie Monsters, and lots of other interesting creatures too. Maybe this is where she draws her own inspiration from - watching daddy draw away. She is still always begging for crayons or pens so she can do more artwork, something we wholly encourage. Lately she has been more focused on drawing faces, and getting really good at it too. Especially the head and eyes, as she loves drawing circles. But then also coloring in things. She gets really focused, which is super fun to watch. Especially when she looks up and says "Look Mommy! See?!" She is always saying things like that too, which is so cute.

My turn!

Hannah can't get enough of this magic travel drawing pad from Auntie Marci - the "pen" is filled with water, so it eventually evaporates, but lasts long enough to make a picture of some sort. Thanks Marci!!

Hannah meets baby Sloane

Back in January, Hannah got to meet her good friend Reece's baby sister, Sloane, when she was just 2 weeks old.

Notice Sloane has the same whirlpool curl her older sister had.

After oogling the newborn for about 3 minutes, Hannah got back to her favorite activity - watching videos on my iPhone. Here she shows Reece all her fave vids.

Oh Yeah? Well, It's MY Night, So SCRAM!

One night a year, every year,
Hollywood celebrates film genius...

By promoting SMELLY TRASH,
DIRTY GARBAGE and SLIMY FILTH,
and as recently as last year,
they did it all while "going GREEN"

Yeah,
wellllllll....

CAN IT!

Until they look under a certain grouch's roof-lid
off the right corner of the stairway of
123 Sesame Street
they will never
come close to honoring the true
OSCAR NIGHT!

BEAT IT, KIDS!
