Isla and Blueberry.

Mo' Yogurt.

Rockers.

Isla in Trouble.

She has self-selected her own 'time out' corner and now everytime she gets in trouble (which seems to be happening with increased frequency) she runs for her spot and starts crying.

Don't feel too bad for her - the whole dramatic process is actually pretty funny.

Monster Trucker.

My Little Pretzel Pony.

Me: "Elle, did you eat any pretzels today?"
Elle: "No."
Me: "Did you play with the pretzels today?"
Elle: "No."
Me: "Did anyone else play with the pretzels today?"
Elle: "Yes."
Me: "Was it Isla?"
Elle: "No."
Me: "Was it a friend of yours?"
Elle: "Yes."
Me: "Who?"
Elle: "Pony."
Me: "Why?"
Elle: "He was hungry - and he saw a friend of his in the cabinet."

Multitasking.

Talk about skills!

Diving in for the last bit of yogurt AND feeding Isla at the same time:

The Model.

Taco.

Isla is well on her way to a very promising career in competitive eating - she managed to (mostly) fit an ENITRE bean and cheese taco in her mouth in one bite:

Isla the Elephant.

Chalkbot.

Chalkers.

The girls have a window of time from 6:45am until about 7:15am where they can play outside without bursting into flames from the Texas heat:

Randolph.

I have no idea how she comes up with names for her various art projects - but we are pleased to introduce you to Randolph, The Sock Puppet:

As always: When you look good, you feel good.

Isla :: July 2008

Crabby.

Isla's latest project:

Another One Bites the Dust.

Following in elle's footsteps - Isla crashes on the plane trip back to Texas:

A Rare Moment.

It took 3 years and 327 days - but we finally got elle to fall asleep in the car seat.

It turns out the recipe is to keep her up about 4 hours past her normal bedtime, have her swim for 3 hours each of those days in the heat, and have her sleep in a sleeping bag on the floor for 3 consecutive nights.

Airport Fun.

The Predator.

A quick trip to the grocery store (in Indiana) and elle discovered The Predator. Of course, she wanted to buy it so we could put the Mini in the back:

The 4th in Indiana.

Miss Firecracker - 4th of July - 2007.

The Ladder.

The Friendly Skies.

Like most frequent fliers, Isla enjoys a nice cup of coffee after takeoff:

Hello, Mini.
