Thomas and friends
What could be more glorious....
than pretending you're a little black rain cloud
and eating Thomas, James and Percy
while playing with wonderful friends,
and finishing it all off with your bestie...jumpin' on the bed!
Nothing could be better. Nothing!

One of the reasons Detroit is awesome
I went to the best place on Earth: Detroit Antiques Mall.
If you are looking for found items from Detroit's glory days you HAVE to check it out. How about hundreds of doorplates and knobs for only dollars each. Or 60 old school desk chairs. Or thousands of architectural pieces. It's got some of the best paintings and wall art I've seen EVER at an antique shop. It's located in the heart of the city, so you may want to come armed with extra adults for hauling out your treasures... and for use as body guards... ha ha.
Of course I would have liked to buy...oh everything. But since we are renters AND we are moving to a new city soon, I couldn't think of hauling many treasures home.
I did come home with one little gem.
She's in really good shape, but, even so, I'm gonna slap some new handle grips on her and give her a fresh coat of paint.
I can't decide what color. Any suggestions?
Chloe's legs aren't long enough to move the pedals...but she's good at pretending like she's going super fast.

funny bird
When we were in St. Louis over the holidays, we made our regular trip to the history museum where they happened to have crafts for kids that day.
Chloe carefully glued and colored her penguin.
Then she even MORE carefully peeled the eyes off said penguin and walked around the museum like Helen Keller for 15 minutes.
No, she didn't think she was being funny or cute. She was dead serious about wanting to be just like that penguin. Slowly a group of curious onlookers surrounded her, but she just continued to walk around running into things.
