so…Isabella has two:

yes folks, she’s domesticated! she can use the phone! (each time we ask her who she’s calling, it’s always the same: “Dora!” of course, we should have known.) she can take her baby for walks! Can you even see how happy this child is? who knew all it would take was for her to have a stroller of her own??!!

(anyone want to guess what’s playing on the tv behind her? there will be prizes for right answers. also, i will be impressed)

Emily and Joshie have one:

the kids have started playing together. i don’t know if maybe Joshie’s getting older or if they are starting to realize that even though one is a boy and one is a girl, they can still appreciate the same things. like diarrhea humor. seriously. yesterday, they were playing “Superhero” (a staple in our neck of the woods) and joshie was fireman. he could set things on fire. then he decided it was bows and arrows coming out of his butt. and then he decided he’d become the greatest superhero of them all, Diarrhea Man. the two of them were in stitches for a good hour over that one. we are so proud.

anyway, on to their mutual obsession. Star Wars. They’ve watched 1,2 and 3. Emily likes number 2 the best (ha…she would have appreciated the toilet humor in that one) – because of the love story. Joshie likes number 3 the best because “dat’s the one whe-ah Annkin goes in the dawth vadeh machine!”

it’s actually quite adorable. and it couldn’t make the husband happier. ha! especially when Emily asks things like, “is there an Obi-two?”

and now I have one:

who knew dessert could be this much fun?

we went out for Ilana’s 25th birthday (she’s not really 25, but i will NOt disclose how old she is. and she looks 25. so, that’s about right.)

(i can’t decide what’s funnier about this….that they aren’t manly enough to eat their own desserts or that they are both wearing Abercrombie shirts)

as for me? i ate the whole thing! no one believed that i could, but people underestimate me.

last bite! (i won’t tell you that this morning i feel like ass and i never want to eat anything ever again. but it was delicious going in. i promise. and i’m sure it won’t be the last time i eat a dessert that big.)
