A PINK FATNESS AND FRITH IN MAMA'S AUTO

WE SPENT AN HOUR OR SO THIS MORNING HANGING AROUND IN MAMA'S AUTO.

EVENTUALLY FATNESS CAME ALONG TO INVESTIGATE. HE WAS A LITTLE BIT PINK, FROM ROLLING AROUND IN THE MOST RECENT SIDEWALK ART.

ANOTHER SATURDAY MORNING

WE ALSO WENT TO THE LIBRARY THIS MORNING. FRITH IMPRESSED THE HECK OUT OF MAMA BY PUTTING A BUNCH OF LETTERS UP ON THE BOARD (PREVIOUSLY SHE'S ONLY DEMONSTRATED AN UNCANNY ABILITY TO TAKE LETTERS DOWN.) THEN, WE DID A PUZZLE WITH JANE (WHO WAS SURPRISINGLY SWEET TODAY, THOUGH HER BROTHER WAS STILL A MENACE) - AND FRITH MATTER-OF-FACTLY PUT THE HIPPO IN THE HIPPO SPOT, THE GIRAFFE IN THE GIRAFFE SPOT AND THE HORSE IN THE HORSE SPOT. MAMA WAS SPEECHLESS. AND VERY PROUD.

THEN, WE CAME HOME FOR OUR NAPS. AFTERWARDS, MAMA HAD A SHOWER (WHICH MEANT FRITH HUNG AROUND IN THE BATHROOM PULLING AT THE SHOWER CURTAIN AND ATTEMPTING TO CLIMB INTO THE TUB EVERY MINUTE OR SO FOR THE DURATION, EVENTUALLY GETTING QUITE AS WET AS MAMA DID) AND THEN AFTERWARDS FRITH WORKED WITH THE BIG JAR OF SOAP FOR A WHILE.

FINALLY WE LAY AROUND ON THE BED FOR A BIT, READING AND DRYING OFF.

THE GOOD SHIP BLUENOSE

THE FRITH DECIDED THAT BLUE CHALK MAKES PRETTY GOOD MAKEUP.

SUNNY AFTERNOON

MAMA AND THE FRITH TOOK A WALK AROUND THE BLOCK AND DISCOVERED THAT THE NEIGHBOURS HAVE BEEN GROWING SOME BEAUTIFUL YELLOW FLOWERS.

OF COURSE, WE THEN NEEDED TO HAVE A TALK ABOUT WHY SAID FLOWERS SHOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY BE BEHEADED.

THOUGH A LITTLE THE WORSE FOR WEAR, THE FLOWERS ESCAPED, WITH HEADS INTACT.

DIGGING NAKED IN THE GARDEN, WITH MOE.

AND FINALLY, TRYING ON MAMA'S FUZZY PINK TOE SOCKS.

FAIREST OF THEM ALL

I HONESTLY HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS CAME TO BE. FRITH WILL OFTEN PICK UP THE BLUE RUBBER CIRCLE FROM HER POTTY, LOOK THROUGH IT WITH A BIG SMILE, AND SAY "FRITH? MIRROR?"

ALSO, IMAGINATION HAS KICKED INTO HIGH GEAR IN THE LAND OF FRITH. SHE SPENT THE BETTER PART OF THE WEEKEND MOVING PUPPE AROUND THE HOUSE, PUTTING HER TO BED ON A PILLOW, GIVING HER A BOTTLE, GIVING HER A TINY PUPPE TO PLAY WITH, AND THEN COVERING THEM ALL WITH A DECKE (BLANKET).

AFTER BEING A MAMA GOT PLAYED OUT, FRITH DECIDED SHE SHOULD AFTER ALL TO BE THE ONE TO GET TO LIE DOWN AND BE COVERED WITH A DECKE.

AH, DON'T WE ALL SOMETIMES.

GOO GOO G'JOOB

FRITH DOING WHAT FRITH DOES BEST. BEING AWESOMELY CUTE.

SHABBAT AND ONWARD

MAMA AND THE FRITH SELF-PORTRAIT #59 - JUST BEFORE SHABBAT DINNER ON FRIDAY.

FRITH, DOING THE PRE-SHABBAT DISHES IN HER FAST NEW JEMIMA PUDDLEDUCK APRON - A GIFT FROM MEME AND PEPE ON THEIR LAST VISIT.

SATURDAY MORNING, MAMA AND THE FRITH TOOK A WALK DOWN TO THE RIVER. YES, NEITHER OF US ARE WEARING ANY MAKE UP. GIVE ME A BREAK, IT WAS 7AM.

WE BROUGHT A LEAF ALL THE WAY FROM HOME TO PUT IN THE RIVER. BUT FIRST, WE HAD TO SIT IN THE GAZEBO, REMOVE OUR SHOES, AND ARRANGE THEM IN A LINE ON TOP OF THE PICNIC TABLE. THIS IS THE WAY THINGS ARE DONE IN FRITHWORLD. WE MIGHT AS WELL ALL GET USED TO IT.

PAPA'S NEW TATTOO

PAPA GOT A NEW TATTOO (IT SPELLS FRITH IN FUTHARK RUNES, AS IT WOULD HAVE APPEARED IN THE ORIGINAL ANGLO-SAXON FROM WHICH FRITH'S NAME IS DERIVED).

BRILLE

FRITH ROCKING THE BACK SEAT IN STYLEE.

THIS PICTURE AND THE NEXT ONE WERE TAKEN BY FRITH..

MASTER OF THE KAMERAFONE

SUPER-FRITH, SUPER-FRITH, SHE'S SUPER-FRITHY

THIS IS THE FRITH'S NEW BATHING SUIT.

THEY HAD A GIRLY-VERSION IN PINK - BUT THE FRITH, SHE IS A PURIST.
