Lily and Garlic

We had a brunch at our house about a month ago. The little girl in the picture is Lily, daughter of two art historians. This is what you get when we breed, and I daresay the results are pretty fantastic.

This is Lisa and her daughter Scarlett. Lisa is one of the above mentioned art historians and, lucky for me, was assigned to be my faculty mentor. She and her adorable family have since become friends.

This is Scarlett. Oliver calls her Garlic, and apparently that's what she called herself when she was two (she's three now). Scarlett calls me Capwee, and so does her dad Fwed.

This is my friend Tim (professor of new media) and the kids having a pancake party.

I have been remiss. I apologize and I promise to be better. But first, a shout out to some friends:

New Foods

Oliver eating a mixed berry smoothie, which we refer to as ice cream. Granola bars are cookies and gummy vitamins are candy. It works!

Eating a syrupy doughy ball at an Indian restaurant.

Trip to Lowe's

We went to Lowe's to buy a rat trap! Yes, there is a rat in the house!!! Oliver says: "Big gross rat. Yucky. Don't touch it." I have no idea how he knows that rats are big, gross and yucky but it's true, they are and hopefully there'll be a dead one in my trap tomorrow morning. Anyway, we made a detour through the Christmas stuff and he took out all the musical Poohs and Tiggers in rocking chairs...

Then he pressed all the buttons on the musical Cinderella snowglobe, the musical Snoopy, etc. etc....

Then we took another detour to look at paint colors, and I turned around to find him on top of these paint cans saying "Look how tall I am!" It's always an adventure...

Gallery Opening

Bounce House

There was neighborhood party in a park near our house with a bounce house and Oliver bounced with the big kids. I was a little paranoid, but he did great.

Happy Halloween!
