Auntie Em's

Cheese! Alice is going to sleep at Auntie Em's house.

We made hot cocoa with a chocolate bar and some milk.

Alice is dressing up.

That ball was kind of slippery.

We visited the cemetery in Auntie Em's backyard. There were flags and we ate fried tofu with a fork.

We carved the pumpkin we got from Fletcher Farm.

Angelina Ballerina Mouse!

Coming soon ... DJ Coco

I am so excited about this. Been wanting to do this ever since I realized that I could purchase a BIG-LITTLE PORTABLE PHONO on ebay. I had a blue one that I still remember endlessly listening to. My parents tell me that I wouldn't let go of it in the store... maybe I was three? (Guys?) Anyway, I got AC a RED ONE for cheap. I never "win" on ebay. This time I sat here waiting to big as the clock counted town. My heart was racing. Should be here in a week or so. Now all I have to do is find a needle for it ... yipes. I've got a bunch of beat-up 45s for Alice to start with.

(Typical ... as I was searching for a picture to post, I found another one on a different website, no auction, for $5 less. And this one still has a needle.)

Gallery

Alice is very proud of these drawings. She asked for tape to hang them up on the wall, and they are on display around our dining table.

Here is a typical Alice drawing. We try not to waste paper, so we often reuse pieces and the drawings become layered:

Table makeover

This used to be a boring white table. While Evan was making lunch today, Alice decorated her drawing table using a red oil pastel. Now she can eat lunch surrounded by all her two dimensional friends.Abby #1 holding wands:
