A Dwagon, A Dwagon I Swear I Saw a 3 Year Old Dwagon...


Or a 3 year old honey badger...

Or a 3 year old do dah...

Or a 3 year old ballerina with a goofy Dorothy back up dancer...

In any event, a bone fide three year old to be sure. Per Carmen's request we had a weal dwagon birthday party complete with balloons (thank goodness it is the Year of the Dragon) and another magnificent cake from Nonne - - special shout out to Auntie Cathy for the nice Photoshop work. All our friends were on hand to celebrate the big day, Carmen had a blast and didn't turn to the dark side once. She is very much into role playing with her sister and usually opts for the "side kick" or "bad guy" roll. We often hear her say, "Wucia, you be Pwincess Weia and I'll be Wuke, awight?" ... or "I am Dark Vader!" said in her most menacing tone. It is too cute. Oh, a note about the poster -- big sister helped her to decorate it, can't you tell?

Goofballs and footballs...

Ok, so it has taken me this long to recover from the terrible Super Bowl deja vu. With some distance, I may be able to discuss it in detail, but truth be told I watched more of The Rescuers with this rowdy bunch because I could just_not_take_it. Luckily, we were fortunate enough to be entertained during the debacle of a game and at least the girls had their first real sleep over, high five for that! In more cheery February news, the girls helped Mimi celebrate her birthday and guess who decorated the cake?? They somehow even managed to fit a couple of candles on there too. And a special shout out to Auntie Mia and Uncle Roman for the yummy Valentine's Day cookies... they were VERY well received.
