silliness with the kiddies



i really do just love hanging out with my girls. they're hilarious, both individually and together.

we're trying to teach the bean how to blow kisses, with slightly...well, off results. when i put her hand to her mouth and show her how to make the gesture, she usually ends up doing this instead:



the teen chortles whenever she sees this. it is pretty funny, i must admit, and the bean will probably crack the hell up when she gets older and realizes what she's doing in that picture. ha!



a couple of days ago, we were craving cupcakes. and i needed to make a paper source run. so, of course, what did we do? we headed out to pasadena!

dot's cupcakes - lemon drop, coffee latte, and a mini mint chocolate. so yummy.



and an iced hazelnut coffee latte from leonida's chocolate cafe:



mmmmm.

the teen's been complaining of some pain in her ear, which was accompanied by some fun coughing and congestion. so yesterday, i took her to kaiser, where we amused ourselves in the room as we waited for the doctor to make her appearance.



yes, the teen is wearing clip-in extensions that she absolutely HAD to have for school. we found them at one of those mall kiosks, and while i refused to buy them for her, she busted out her own cash that she'd been stashing away in her room. ugh.

anyway, it turned out that she had an ear infection, so the doc prescribed some antibiotics and then traumatized the teen when she told me to schedule a physical so that she could get caught up on some vaccinations that were way overdue. i hate needles too, so i inwardly cringed too, but i put on a brave face for her sake and tried my hardest to convince her that four separate shots wouldn't be all that bad. ick. then i told her i'd take her for ice cream afterwards, and she said "what am i, six?"

she is SO my kid.

  1. Mmmmn, cupcakes!

    P.S. Am I the only one who doesn't think the extensions look horrific? I mean, they're just a trendy kid thing, right? No adults wear them, do they?

  2. okay, so maybe don't share this with the teen... i had to have 5 separate shots before peru and frankly, it sucked ass. :/

    signed,
    the girl that doesn't mind giving blood and is fairly okay with needles

    But I still love you anyway.

  10. Maybe suggest cupcakes rather than ice cream for the shot situation. Those cupcakes look yummy! I had a chocolate peanut butter crunch cupcake yesterday from our Long Beach local Frosted Cupcakery :) Yum!!

  12. I don't want to alarm you or anything...but is that cleavage the teen is sporting???

    Fuckin' A I hate shots. Lil Man had three while I was away. Still make me squirm on the inside to think about it even though I didn't see it.
