PIRATE MORNING

WHEN PAPA CAME OVER THIS MORNING, FRITH (STILL IN HER PAJAMAS) IMMEDIATELY CLIMBED INTO HER BACKPACK AND DEMANDED TO GO FOR A WALK. SO MAMA ADDED PINK SOCKS AND A PIRATE HAT, AND SENT THEM ON THEIR WAY.

PRINCESS FATNESS

FRITH PUT TOGETHER THIS LITTLE ENSEMBLE AND ANNOUNCED THAT "FRITHA GOING SHOPPING".

LATER, SHE GOT INTO THE BLUEBERRIES.

ONCE COMPLETELY BLUE FROM HEAD TO TOE, SHE DANCED AROUND THE LIVING ROOM SINGING "PEE BUM PEE BUM PEE BUM" GLEEFULLY. NO IDEA.

SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER THE CROWN FROM AN EARLIER POST.. FRITH DECIDED THAT FATNESS SHOULD BE PRINCESS FOR A DAY. FATNESS DIDN'T SEEM TO MIND ALL THAT MUCH.

WALKING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE, FRITH CLIMBED UP ON A ROCK NEXT TO THIS HYDRANT AND ANNOUNCED "FRITHA ON THE ROOF". THEN SHE WOULDN'T COME DOWN FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES. DIDN'T MATTER, IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY.

WALLETS AND HATS

WE FINALLY MANAGED A VISIT TO THE SECRET PARK AGAIN A COUPLE OF NIGHTS AGO.

FRITH AND HOLDEN DUG UP A COUPLE OF TRAFFIC CONES WHICH DID FAIRLY SERVICABLE IMITATIONS OF HATS.

LATER, FRITH SNAPPED ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPH WITH MAMA'S KAMERAFONE. OF HER FEET.

AND THEN SPENT THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON TAKING THINGS IN AND OUT OF HER OWN WALLET.

MONKEY ON THE COB

MONKEY COSTUME IS THE NEW BLACK.

THE FRITH, DOING HER TYPEWRITER IMITATION ON A COB OF CORN.

SHOE FRIDGE

THE BACKUP FRIDGE STOPPED WORKING A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAS SINCE LAIN DORMANT FORGOTTEN AND EMPTY, EXCEPT FOR A WARM BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE AND A VERY OLD TUBE OF WASABI. UNTIL NOW. FRIENDS AND FAMILY, YOU HAVE BEEN STUMBLING OVER THE MOUNTAIN OF FRITH SHOES AT THE BACK DOOR FOR TWO YEARS. WE FINALLY HAVE A SOLUTION. MAY I PRESENT.. THE SHOE FRIDGE.

DUCKS IN A ROW

THERE WAS QUIET FOR A WHILE IN THE BACK YARD.

WHEN MAMA LOOKED UP, FRITH HAD FINISHED GETTING ALL HER DUCKS IN A ROW.

AND YES, IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, SHE IS INDEED WEARING A SHIRT THAT SAYS "I DON'T DO PINK" WITH A PINK PAIR OF PANTS. THE FRITH, SHE IS A PARADOX WRAPPED IN AN ENIGMA.


WE SPENT THE DAY TOGETHER, AND BOUGHT SOME GROUCHO GLASSES AT THE DOLLAR STORE DURING OUR TRAVELS.

LAST NIGHT WE WENT TO VISIT OPA IN THE HOSPITAL.

HE WAS DOING MUCH BETTER, AND WE HOPE TO GET HIM OUT OF THERE IN A FEW WEEKS.

UNDERPANTS AND BROCCOLI EYES

APPARENTLY FRITH WORE UNDERPANTS ON HER HEAD ALL DAY YESTERDAY.

AND OMI'S MAGNIFYING GLASS WAS THE SPECIALTY OF THE DAY.

GOOGLY EYES, CES SONT TRÈS AMUSANT. OR BROCCOLI EYES AS FRITH CALLS THEM.

FRITH AND AMY HANGING OUT AT AUNTIE MARIANNE'S HOUSE.

AMY ONLY SPEAKS DUTCH AND FRITH ONLY SPEAKS ENGLISH AND GERMAN. SOMEHOW THEY MANAGED TO COMMUNICATE JUST FINE. HERE THEY'RE SHARING THE EVER-POPULAR PLASTIC FOOD - FRITH WITH A WAFFELTJE AND AMY WITH A BURGER AND AN EISJE.

FRITHA (AND HER GROCERIES) OMI AND NELL BOSS - FRITH HAS MET NELL BEFORE, AT A SHABBAT DINNER A FEW MONTHS BACK. THE MOMENT SHE SAW HER AT THE PARTY, SHE LIT RIGHT UP, AND SAID BOSS? BOSS? WHICH MADE MAMA REALIZE WE'VE ALWAYS REFERRED TO NELL BOSS USING BOTH HER FIRST AND LAST NAME. WHY IS THAT? WE DON'T KNOW ANYBODY ELSE NAMED NELL. BUT, THERE IT IS.

PEANUT GOATS AND BLUE TUBES

GRANDMA PAT CAME TO VISIT, WHICH OF COURSE WAS A GOOD EXCUSE TO GO VISIT THE PEANUTGOATS. FRITH GOT RIGHT IN WITH THEM THIS TIME, BRAVELY DISPENSING PEANUTS LEFT RIGHT AND CENTRE.

THERE WAS ALSO A TRIP TO THE DUNDAS DRIVING PARK.

THE BLUE TUBE WAS POPULAR AS ALWAYS.

VISITS FROM HER GRANDMOTHER TEND TO MAKE FRITH THIS HAPPY.

SHABBOS HANDS

OMI SHOWS OFF HER MAGICAL SHABBOS HANDS AT DINNER ON FRIDAY, WHILE FRITH LOOKS ON ENTRANCED.

WHAT CAN I SAY - THE GIRL LOVES HER KIPPAH.

LATER, WE HAD A MOMENTOUS BATH, IN WHICH FRITH SAT DOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NEARLY A YEAR. PRETTY MUCH SINCE SHE LEARNED TO STAND UP.

BOARD

THE FRITH, LOOKING LONGINGLY AT THE BOYS ACROSS THE STREET WITH THEIR SKATEBOARDS. FRITH'LL BE KICKING BUTT WITH HER PINK HELLO KITTY BOARD IN NO TIME. ALREADY THIS AFTERNOON SHE TRIED TO IMITATE ONE OF THE BOYS JUMPING THE CURB. I HAD A HARD TIME CONVINCING HER THAT IT WOULD BE BEST TO SIT DOWN ON THE BOARD WHILE DOING THIS. CAN SOMEONE TELL US WHERE TO PICK UP A HELMET AND PADS IN FUSCHIA, SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT A TWO YEAR OLD?
