Snow Day

We drove back from our xmas weekend (post to follow) through a crazy freakin blizzard, went to bed and woke to wonderland.

24 hours later and our streets are still packed with snow (I can hear some poor shmuck now digging his tires deeper and deeper as he tries to rescue his vehicle).

Neko and I spent the day baking quiche, brownies and meatloaf (yes, our house is filled with an odd food medley of scents) and braving the brooklyn streets (one girl cookies was indeed open).  Neko spent most of the day in some variation of a pink tutu (not pictured b/c how many pink frilly pics can one have of one’s kid) and making me sashay my way around the apartment; or pretended to be riding the elevator to school in our closet (over and over). We then helped Peter attempt to shovel out his car out of 80 feet of snow:

Hopefully life returns to its pink tutu self tomorrow…..

Funny Girl

Neko is hilarious.

Anyone that knows her, knows her loud infectious belly laughter, knows her panache for doodie fart jokes, and then, repeating them, once she gets that she’s made the adults laugh.

Over the past few weeks, the following genius things have come out of her mouth:

Example 1:

Neko: Ima, you’re a girl. And abba is a boy.

Savta:  And what am I?

Neko:  You’re a monkey. Hehehehe

Example 2:

Keren: Neko, put on these white socks.

Neko: No, ima, these are for dress-up.

Keren: Who told you that?

Neko: Myself

Example 3:

Keren: Would you like a baby brother or sister?

Neko: I want a brother

Keren:  Well, where is he going to come from?

Neko:  Israel.

Example 4:

Keren: Neko, what do you want for breakfast?

Neko: Sushi!

Keren: Huh?

Neko:  That’s so funny, Ima.  It’s not dinner, it’s breakfast. hahahahah

Example 5:

E-E:  What are you drawing?

Neko: A kangaroo.

E-E:  Wow, that’s a big word.

Neko: No, it’s not a big word. It’s a kangaroo!

Princess Love and other frilly things

Nothing would have made Peter happier than neko being a soccer lovin tomboy…thus far she exhibits his deep appreciation for fart jokes, but is truly and deeply obsessed with princess-ballerina-mermaids-cinderella-snowhite-crowns-tutus-sparkly shit:
