"A sickle of ice"

"Hey Daddy... the moon looks like a sickle of ice!"

"She doesn't have a life!"

All my ladies love going to the library. The Professor, Aunt Cindy Rose, and Library Pete are heros to all of them. They put on a story time show that includes singing, drawing, and puppets.

On this day, they sang a song called "The Colors of My Life". The Professor started out singing and drawing (at the same time, yes). The words are something like "The colors of my life are bountiful and..." He finished his verse and turned it over to Aunt Cindy Rose. Well, she got started with "The colors of my life..." and was quickly interrupted by a girl's voice saying very loudly... "She doesn't have a life!"

Aunt Cindy Rose and the Professor laughed so hard they were unable to continue the song.

Apparently Aspen thinks that a "life" is something you draw with crayons.

I love... Oakey!

She tries to do stuff simply with the purpose of being funny, which is cool.

I was trying to get her to say “I love Mommy” last night, so I started out saying to her “I love Oakley”. Then I would say “I” and she would say “I”. And I would say “love” and she would say... “Oakey!” Nothing like good self-esteem, I suppose...

Nice idea...

In the time honored tradition of copying the excellent ideas of others, I've decided to start my own flamingobear blog. Thanks to the Keller's, and David in particular, for the idea.

Since I never write anything with the pictures on the site anymore (too lazy), maybe I'll find the time to do this on occasion.

So, enjoy. Make comments if you like. And let me know if I should bother keeping up with it!
