The Prizefighter

If she was a prizefighter this is what Lily would look like:

Taiwan, two years old.



Yesterday



But she's too sweet to be a fighter. She was just running on the playground at school and fell down. She just about broke her bottom lip off, it was hanging down grotesquely. Too bad I don't have a pic of that, huh? It's too bad she didn't do this last week and she could have been Frankenstein's daughter for Halloween.

Rune wants to be sure to mention that you could clearly see her meat.

My fellow Americans

Okay, this post is really to post the kids Halloween pics, so the title is totally inappropriate. I just wanted to say it because I feel so happily patriotic today. A way I haven't felt since that stinker Clinton lied under oath! I also admit to having an ulterior motive for feeling happy today. I've been looking forward to the 2008 election for a long time because regardless of who won I was hoping that my husband could finally get over his ridiculously misguided and obsessive angst toward our poor President Bush. I don't know, though, Grant might actually need some therapy!

Anyhoo, here are the pics:


Eliseo had a scary mask, but it turns out masks are not allowed at school or at Trunk or Treat so he came up with this last minute.



My mom made this cute duck costume when Rune was two. I love recycling Halloween costumes!



Rune is a dark side Jedi. I made this costume. I almost didn't, but he wanted it so much I finally did. Luckily it was one of those 2 hr patterns. He does have some sweet Jedi moves.



This costume shows just how pathetic I was this year. A sheet with eyes cut out? How embarrassing! And I totally had Lily convinced it was ultra cool.



No, I didn't dress Violet up. But she does a pretty good monkey impression on her own. Check out the hair on her arms and back!

I'm pleased...

with the new president. I'm not going to go politics here because I know that most of my friends, family and neighbors have different political views than mine and are probably disappointed today and I love you guys more than I love my opinions. But I can't help saying that today is a happy day for me and I look forward to a future of peace, not war, prosperity for the majority, not the few, and healthcare for everyone! Okay, maybe America is not ready for the last just yet......someday.
