JACK

A FRITH-SIZED JACK-O-LANTERN KEEPS TURNING UP ALL OVER THE HOUSE, IN THE DARNDEST PLACES. THIS MORNING MAMA PULLED IT OUT OF HER SOCK BOX.

ENSEMBLE

ANOTHER SPECTACULAR FRITH DESIGN - GREEN RUBBER BOOTS, PURPLE WINTER PARKA (WITH NOTHING UNDERNEATH WHATSOEVER), RED BASEBALL HAT AND A SINGLE WHITE GLOVE. PLUS THE OMNIPRESENT GREEN-BUCKET-AS-PURSE ACCESSORY. TRES CHIC, MA PETITE.

ONION SANDWICH

WE VISITED PEGGY AND MADDY AND MIKE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. FRITH SPENT A GOOD PORTION OF THE VISIT DOING SOMERSAULTS ON THE SIDEWALK WITH JULIUS AND PUPPE II.

SHE ANNOUNCED "FRITHA MAKING SANDWICH" AND PROCEEDED TO PILE CHOPPED ONION ONTO A PIECE OF LEINSAMEN BROT.

THE HOUSE STILL SMELLS LIKE A SOUVLAKI FACTORY.

MORE FUN WITH OMI'S PAGE MAGNIFIER.

AND FINALLY, READING WITH PAPA WHILE WEARING HER NEW SKATEBOARD HELMET (THANK-YOU LALA!)

WINCHESTER

DINNER AT THE WINCHESTER. THIS INVOLVED SOME HARD WORK WITH THE CRAYONS (SORRY ABOUT THE GRAFFITI ON THE FRONT WINDOWS GUYS) AND TWENTY OR THIRTY VISITS TO THE BACK ROOM TO LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS. FRITH CALLS HER PRINCESS MAMA.. THANK YOU BABY :)

HYDRANT REVISITED

SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER THE HYDRANT OBSESSION WHICH BEGAN LAST WEEK..


YET AGAIN ON OUR WAY HOME FROM GROCERY SHOPPING WE SPENT ABOUT HALF AN HOUR PLAYING ON THIS PARTICULAR HYDRANT. NO OTHER WOULD DO.

WHEN WE GOT HOME, FRITH REQUESTED A FEW NEW CLAY FIGURES : A CHAIR, A FORK, A SPOON, CUP OF COFFEE, A PLATE, A FRITHA, A BATH, AND SOME RUBBER DUCKIES. IN PINK AND BROWN. BLEAGH. ISN'T MAMA A TALENTED SCULPTRESS?

WHEN THE PINK CLAY FRITHA WAS FINISHED SITTING IN THE BROWN CLAY BATH, THE REAL FRITHA CONSIDERATELY BROUGHT HER A ROBE TO WEAR.

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.
