Playing catchup again
The baby and I have been sick. We’re both feeling much better now, but the photos and intended blog posts have gotten kind of backed up. Will you indulge me in another random post/photo dump?
1. My dear friend Everette visited from Seattle. Everette and I first met at NJ Summer Arts Institute when we were fifteen. (I would link to SAI but it, sadly, no longer exists. A real loss. It’s rough to be a state-funded arts program in this day and age.) Everette took pictures of the kids and gave Thumper a quick photography lesson.
2. Rainy Rainy Portland Winter is upon us, which means finding ways to keep the kids occupied indoors. Thanks to the cover of the Halloween week issue of the New Yorker, Thumper has a new set of puppets. I cut out the figures and Thumper glued them to popsicle sticks. (As I was cutting them out for him, I edited out most of the martini glasses and beer bottles and the one gun.) He’s grouped them into Good Guys and Bad Guys. He’s very, very interested in Good Guys and Bad Guys right now.
The Good Guys:
The Bad Guys:
3. And this little girl?
She’s going to start crawling any minute now.
number 2. oh my god. classic.
Is it just me or are there way more bad guys than good guys? I wish those good guys good luck!!
Looks like life is good, despite sickness. 🙂
Gotta know, did you put it in his head Shakespeare was a bad guy or did he get there all on his own??
I love the puppets. The kids are gorgeous.
What fun! It does seem like the good guys are WAY out numbered. Is that a new Cabbage Patch doll or an old one of yours?
