A MODERN FAMILY PORTRAIT

Here is what our parting portrait looked like with Minnie and Pop-Pop the first time we tried to take it.



(The Doodle wasn't into it, and he let us know.)

WOG-LOHA

I didn't know The Wog could hula until Lily's mom, Laura, posted this on Facebook, and this has become one of my absolute favorite pictures. It makes me wants to laugh and cry. These sweet, sweet girls...


(I have no idea how Laura coerced to leave her clothes on underneath the costume since they usually all come flying off in anticipation of princess dresses the second a playdate starts.)

And another one I lifted from Laura of a February snow day pizza lunch with the gang+1 (the girl in the middle is unidentified).

(Also note that The Doodle is not the only man about town working the pink boots!)

HERE COMES PETER DOODLETAIL, WOGGING DOWN THE BUNNY TRAIL...

Hippity Hoppity Easter's on it's Way!

On their way to the egg hunt:



The Wog spotted the field of eggs (2,000+) and took off! I had to explain to her that she needed to wait for the official start.


Face-off on the bridge during a brief egg-hunting hiatus at the playground.

All lined up and getting ready to fill their baskets!

Ready, set, GO!

An egg-hunting Doodle:

It took a bit, but he got the hang of it just as all the eggs disappeared. Still, he managed to collect four, of which he was quite proud.

Happy!

Inspecting their finds:

Looking for candy! (The ratio of trinkets:candy was about 20:1--you can bet they were madly looking for the candy.)











Egg hunters!


A happy bunny.


Homeward bound:

DON'T MESS WITH THE DOODLE

Would you really like to come across these two in a dark alley?



(More--and happier!--pictures from the egghunt we attended today coming soon...)

WOGCY KERRIGAN

The Wog participated in her first Basic Skills skating evaluation over the weekend. She did a great job, had a lot of fun, froze a little bit, but was very proud of herself.

Suiting up!


She was very cold!


But managed to muster up one good pose:


Warming up:


Hanging with her skating friend (and speed demon!) Brooke:


Waiting for the medal ceremony while enjoying a nice, warm slushy. (We couldn't talk her out of it.)



Examining their medals!


How Daddy shows pride:

ROLLERWOG

She's kind of awesome:

MARGOT WOGTEYN, PART II

The moms observing each week during dance class get our fair share of laughs, but the dance below was particularly amusing this week. I don't know if it was the music (which kind of has an old school striptease kind of vibe) or the moves, but I hope they do this one again!



(My favorite moves come at 30 and 37 seconds!)
