There comes a time in every girl’s life when she goes goo gaga crazy obsessed in love devoted to anything princess, pink and remotely cinderally.

We did not promote this.

But we could not escape the inevitable: neko begging to be a princesess: I wanna be costume.

So we twisted the frilly pink principessa notion on it’s head and have had her telling everyone willing to listen (and some random folks too) that she is gonna be a funk princess (I guess punk makes no sense to a girl whose life years can still be counted in days)

A few rips, safety pins and a faux-hauk later and voila:

A huge shout out to Kusminsky’s for being vulcans and the Chien-Pollocks for the best costumed family ever!

Two years ago: Fall outfitters

Yep - the season where the colors are glorious, kids run through piles of leaves (or sit on musty mushrooms in my case - don’t ask how i got the stains out), the weather makes me want to pull out all my sweaters and dance with them, and there are days when you actually cross the street to walk in the sun.  But I digress.

Although neko has an extensive collection  of acorns (must check all pockets before doing laundry), we have not been keeping up with weekly posts, mostly because Peter and I see the fronts of screens too often (the work ones).

Here’s a quick update:

Neko likes school, we think - although all i know from her tales is that when it rains they still go on the roof, but can only run around, no touch the slides, the roof and the cars is all wet (she talks a lot - hmm, wonder where she got that from)

We got her seasonal hair cut - and she loved it - running home to Peter saying: look my petty hair

Hung out with the cousin and aunt (come back we love you), while hiking and talking about life, jackets and raising girls:

And saw neko’s favorite friend, elodie, at the zoo - i think i’m still tired from chasing them down, making sure they don’t eat poisonous berries or climb into turtle cages:

Hopefully winter will be filled with just as many friends, family and stories (but more naps please)!
