Happy birthday, kid

After two parties (and one to come) my monkey is finally four. She's been on a whirlwind tour of the midwest, showered with gifts, cakes and a little bit of love. If we're not careful, she'll start to think that Thanksgiving vacation is all about her. (Which it is.)

So don't be an Alice, grab a piece of cake and celebrate.

Cha Cha Cha.

I think I'm in trouble

I'd been hoping she'd be the one on the court playing. But I think she's destined for the sidelines.

Going shotgun shopping today.

Grandpa and the three fairies

Yeah. That right there makes the trip worth it.
Maybe not the getting up at 4 am part ...

When Kaylee grows up

Future plans (for today) include:

Be an acrobat.*

Live in New York.

Drive a pink truck.

* Past entries include: soldier, surgeon, waitress, veterinarian, cashier and mom.

How do you spell trouble?

Guess who found Mom's lipstick?

So tired

Mommy, I'm so tired.

Why honey?

I guess I just don't sleep as good as you and daddy.

You think? Why?

My bed is uncomfortable. Like the Princess and the Pea.

Guess we're going bed shopping soon ...

Monkeys

Just another day in The Monkeyhouse.

All Souls' Procession

We forgot our good camera, so all you get is this phone pic snapped in crappy light.

Good thing the subject is so photogenic.

My family

She got the shape of my head right ...
