Five People.

I read a really interesting theory the other day:

"You are the average of the five people that you spend the most time with."

Based on that, I should be running around with panties on my head:

Gymnastics.

After much commotion, elle unveiled her new 'Gymnastics School' in the kitchen - be sure to look for the Rody-Pillow Pet-Ikea chair dismount in the 2020 Olympics:

Waffle-Time.

Nearly every single day - some random parent takes the time to tell me about 'how fast time flies'.

It seems like just last week that she was crying for a bottle at 3:00am - and now elle told me that she is 'big enough' to make her own breakfast:

Boozehound.

Here's Isla polishing off (another!) beer while watching Spongebob:

We can always trust Isla to keep an eye out for the arrival of the Great Pumpkin:

Halloween Choices.

The original plan of having Elle and Isla dress in 'matching' costumes was derailed when someone suggested that my idea of Hitler and Rabbi may not get the Pre-Kindergarten prize for best costume:

We're baaaack!

I won't bore you with the details - but we are back in action, just in time for the 4th Annual Halloween Spectacular!

Until tomorrow - here is some amateur face painting to get you through the day:

The Restaurant.

Another day of fancy cuisine...elle begged me for a chile pepper, a small new potato, a bowl of water, and a pizza cutter - all to make her 'souffle':

Naked Chicks and Cars.

We were taking a break from 'washing the car' and Isla kept asking me to go get the camera.

Came back outside and she was already in full pose waiting for me to take her picture:

Say cheese!

If you notice a general lack of elle lately, it's because most pictures that I try to take of her turn out similar to this one:
