We went bowling a couple days earlier and I snapped some great photos and took a couple videos. Later when she was looking at them, she erased everything on my camera, about 3 weeks worth of pictures of students at the end of year parties. The worst thing of it was that I had protected all the photos while we were bowling so I could easily delete everything else that had been downloaded. I then unprotected them when I was finished, only to have her erase them. Ah well.

Finger Nail Polish
Poor Emma, Sticken with fear that she would be in trouble did everything she could to get away from answering the question. I think Tigs was just a little younger when I found her in my room painting her nails. The left over stayed on the carpet for a long time.
Emma Options
A nice video of Emma trying to manipulate her mom into deciding on her options rather than the options given to her from her mom.

Emma and the Bolt Stuffed Aminal Dog
Emma has a thing for stuffed animal dogs. Right after I left she came up with the idea to get a stuffed bolt animal dog. I found one on amazon, had her look at it to make sure she would like it, then bought it. Of course I fell into the trap that Amazon sets when you put something into the shopping cart. They suggest other things that people bought when they purchased a bolt stuffed animal dog. There were a few bolt books, one was a coloring book the other just a little bolt story book. I thought "what the hell, Emma would like those" so I added those to the cart as well. After I finalized the order I realized the stuffed animal dog was coming from a third party seller and not amazon. So there would be two boxes shipped, one with the books and the other with the dog.
Sure enough the book box was sent first and the dog the following day. So as luck would have it the books were scheduled to show up one day before the dog. I knew this was going to be a problem when Emma started asking where the bolt dog was that I got her. Every day she asked me when it was going to get to the house. I explained to her that she had two boxes coming and the first one was not going to be the stuffed dog. I didn't want her to be too disappointed when it showed up and there was no Bolt inside.
Steph got the flip out when the first box showed up:
And then this:
Luckily the Bolt dog showed up the next day:
That was a close one, I will have to plan better next time.

Honoring Michael Jackson
Miku didn't know MJ's music so we cranked some up and I pranced around until I ran out of breathe (about 45 seconds).

Cold day at the beach
Miku went with me to rugby practice once on a very hot day (I think I almost got sunstroke, seriously). We practice very near the ocean and went and jumped in after practice. Actually, Miku started out just getting her feet wet, but then that turned into peeling her pants off, then her underwear and soon enough she was frolicking naked in the waves. But it was a lot of fun.
The next weekend she went with me again only the weather wasn't as good. It was still hot enough to seem plausible to go swimming, but as you see from the video, it was less than optimal.
At around the 0:50 mark of the second video you can catch a glimpse of a rather large jellyfish that provided a convenient excuse to end our day.

Miku Rides Her Bike
A series of videos from our most successful session yet. This was our 3rd time at the park without training wheels.
These last two don't show much but are pretty short.

Family Picture
I think we are all leaning in the original picture anyway....So yeah...this is the one that we can use...
Let's all comment on how it works to have a family picture taken and then the family "changes"?
I can just say I am thankful it was easy to change this one...
And by the way...I haven't seen Taylor in months and Josh brought her to an event today. It was very awkward and I can tell that he shit-talked me enough that she felt REALLY weird seeing me. That is just so wonderful. Way to make today just splendid.
Oh and PS - does anyone think Emma's face looks similar to mine in the family pic we got when I was little???
