It’s the end of another year, so here’s the latest installment of our “Year X” series, where I post a collage of pics and videos from the preceding six months. Here are the previous installments:
Here’s the latest installment of our “Year X” series, where I try to post a collage/video based on a specific six months of time. The previous installments:
Here’s a collage of pics showing the prep work that goes into making a batch of fries for the girls and me (and no, we don’t have these all the time!)
I guess one could view this as a “how to” or educational post. Hmm, it must be all those old Schoolhouse Rock! cartoons we’ve been watching lately, they got me into a teachin’ mood. Anyway…
Up to this point, I think Lucy (and maybe Jill) may have thought of fries as something I conjure up by simply waving a hand and chanting a secret frying phrase. Nope, there’s a bit more work that goes into it than that, girls.
However, if you find this new knowledge to be a bit of a letdown (and boring) please feel free to ignore it. Instead, when I set out to make fries, think of me performing multiple sets of solitary high fives ala The Todd before singing the Schoolhouse Rock “Interjections!” song—with lots of interjections! Once I complete the correct number and sequence of high fives and interjections, crunchy and golden pommes frites magically appear. Yay!
*Yep, just as you thought all along.
(*”or as a comma when the feeling’s not as strong“—the Interjections! song)
Boy, the kid’s 6 month and 1 Year birthdays seem like they just happened, and now she’s pulling the TWO card on us! Is this even possible? Has the kid actually been parked in the condo for 24 whole months? (Wubert just piped in saying it seems longer.)
Of course, Lucy’s mom is always looking for an excuse for cake and ice cream, so we decided to celebrate. The whole ‘Hawaii Gang’ (Gpa Peter, Uncle John, Auntie Laura) came over to add to the festivities.
Lucy also got a “Happy Birthday” serenade from her Gpa Tom and Gma Karen via the phone. Pretty cool!
