no,just kiding its not hugs time.i just wanted to do that. 

(Daddy is typing the rest because Daphne got bored of typing.)

I'm just going to say: when it's going to be Thanksgiving I think we might spend the night. This is for Annika only.

I'd like to draw you a picture and do something for you. Maybe I will draw you a color-in of a devil if you would like that! If you are going to spend the night, just so you know, stay away from the cat!

Just kidding, you can play with her.]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Daphne often likes to make an illo or two while hanging out at her after-school program. Here are a couple. The art is hers; the crappy color reproduction in the photos is all down to me and my cameraphone and bad lighting.

The good ship LISA:

         <title>spring mega-post</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Holly [promised][] some further birthday pictures, and I'm finally following through on that.  Daphne had quite the exciting birthday, with balloons and presents and cake and, to provide a climax to the experience, a tornado.

[promised]: http://pinette.org/holly/2006/04/14/a_tornado_ate_my_birthday "frist ps0t on the b-day"

There was no tornado in the morning, though, when Daphne got some tremendously exciting red balloons (3 of them, natch):

<a href="/image/3rdbirthday2"><img src="/images/3rdbirthday/thumbnails/s2.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a> <a href="/image/3rdbirthday3"><img src="/images/3rdbirthday/thumbnails/s3.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a> <a href="/image/3rdbirthday4"><img src="/images/3rdbirthday/thumbnails/s4.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a>

Those weren't the only balloons in evidence, mind you; they were just the *red* ones.  The others were picked to match the color scheme, which was based on a "springtime tea party" theme.

<a href="/image/3rdbirthday5"><img src="/images/3rdbirthday/thumbnails/s5.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a> <a href="/image/3rdbirthday6"><img src="/images/3rdbirthday/thumbnails/s6.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a> 

She made out, of course; aunts and uncles and grandmas and grandpas all contributed loot.

<a href="/image/3rdbirthday1"><img src="/images/3rdbirthday/thumbnails/s1.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a>

"O-*kay*, Daphne, I guess we can start opening these now!"

<a href="/image/3rdbirthday7"><img src="/images/3rdbirthday/thumbnails/s7.jpg" width="158" height="200" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a>

Since she's old enough that the unwrapping process has its own significance for her, she unwrapped everything first, and *then* went back to look at and play with the individual stuffses.

<a href="/image/3rdbirthday8"><img src="/images/3rdbirthday/thumbnails/s8.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a> <a href="/image/3rdbirthday9"><img src="/images/3rdbirthday/thumbnails/s9.jpg" width="150" height="200" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a>

Not that she wasn't interested in playing.  Indeed, the tea party commenced immediately.

<a href="/image/3rdbirthday10"><img src="/images/3rdbirthday/thumbnails/s10.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a> <a href="/image/3rdbirthday11"><img src="/images/3rdbirthday/thumbnails/s11.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a> <a href="/image/3rdbirthday12"><img src="/images/3rdbirthday/thumbnails/s12.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a>

Finally it was time for cake.  [Recent successes][1] notwithstanding, we have a long history of making [ugly cakes][2] for birthdays.  We elected to let a professional handle it this time.

[1]: http://pinette.org/jack/2006/03/26/orange_zebra_cake "mmmm... yummy"
[2]: http://pinette.org/holly/2004/04/05/cake_disaster "umm, not so yummy"

<a href="/image/3rdbirthday14"><img src="/images/3rdbirthday/thumbnails/s14.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a>

What a happy birthday girl!

<a href="/image/3rdbirthday15"><img src="/images/3rdbirthday/thumbnails/s15.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a> <a href="/image/3rdbirthday16"><img src="/images/3rdbirthday/thumbnails/s16.jpg" width="200" height="171" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a>

----

I also wanted to post some Easter pictures.  Daphne got double the party action this week.

Starting right when she woke up:

<a href="/image/2006easter2"><img src="/images/2006easter/thumbnails/s2.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a>

(we hid eggs inside, because it was cold and windy outside...)

<a href="/image/2006easter4"><img src="/images/2006easter/thumbnails/s4.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a> <a href="/image/2006easter5"><img src="/images/2006easter/thumbnails/s5.jpg" width="199" height="177" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a> <a href="/image/2006easter6"><img src="/images/2006easter/thumbnails/s6.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a>

Loot!

<a href="/image/2006easter7"><img src="/images/2006easter/thumbnails/s7.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a>

...and more loot!  The big one is Daphne's.  The small ones are for mommy and daddy and Aunt Nicolette and Uncle Greg, who were there to visit.

<a href="/image/2006easter1"><img src="/images/2006easter/thumbnails/s1.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a>

Aunt Nicolette fixed Daphne's hair up *very* prettily, which of course drove Daphne into a blue funk, because it was not the hairdo she usually gets.  Daphne is not one for the graceful acceptance of change, no sir.

<a href="/image/2006easter8"><img src="/images/2006easter/thumbnails/s8.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a> <a href="/image/2006easter10"><img src="/images/2006easter/thumbnails/s10.jpg" width="138" height="200" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a>

However, this was nothing that couldn't be fixed by yet another (!!?!) Easter present.  This was when we all trucked over to Aunt Mauria and Uncle Bryon's house for Easter brunch.

<a href="/image/2006easter9"><img src="/images/2006easter/thumbnails/s9.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a>

Brunch!

<a href="/image/2006easter12"><img src="/images/2006easter/thumbnails/s12.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a>

Easter lilies!

<a href="/image/2006easter11"><img src="/images/2006easter/thumbnails/s11.jpg" width="200" height="173" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a>

Funny story: Holly bought Mauria this Easter lily; Mauria had bought the same thing from the same place on the same day for both Holly and Nicolette.  I'm surprised we didn't bump into each other at the store.

And yes, Daphne eventually calmed down about the hair.  S'cute, ain't it?  

<a href="/image/2006easter13"><img src="/images/2006easter/thumbnails/s13.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a> <a href="/image/2006easter14"><img src="/images/2006easter/thumbnails/s14.jpg" width="200" height="150" border="0" alt="thumbnail" /></a> 

Happy Easter!

         <title>a dance of spring</title>
         <description><![CDATA[This was the firstest bestest day for Daphne to go to the park, since it actually got up above 50 and was not raining.  We followed our usual regimen of ball-chasing and rock-throwing and swinging and such.

Later, after Daphne decided to follow the walking path that rings the park, she located a large cache of dry leaves that had been caught in the vee formed by a chain link fence and a gate that had been left open at the same angle all winter.  The day had turned blustery by this time, so that when Daphne grabbed an armload of leaves and flung them to the sky, they were snatched by the wind and plastered up against the chain link like wallpaper.

Soon we were both tossing every leaf we could lay hands on, watching them dash up against their comrades on the fence, which began to resemble the kind of sculptured shrub that faces the sidewalk in old neighborhoods.  

We didn't stop there, though; we slathered the fence with a layer of leaves inches thick, up to the capacity of the wind to hold them in place, pausing only to draw the occasional swirl or curlicue with a finger.  The surface of our unlikely canvas was alive with shifting, crackling leaf sculptures, pyramids and crescents and ziggurats forming and dissolving like a vertical field of sand dunes.  

Daphne took breaks from construction to burrow peep-holes, which were duly enlarged to windows and a door.  We played house for some time (or, more accurately,  we played "going trick-or-treating at Daphne's house"), until the wind finally changed direction and turned our wall into a fence again.

Then we came home and played dance marathon.
