Oh Soy


Whenever I notice tofu in a store, I always think for some reason that I should buy it. I have purchased it twice in the past, seemingly for the sole purpose of providing a field trip to my refrigerator and trashcan. But not this time boy howdy! I found a recipes with green onions, garlic, tomatoes and feta that was actually really good.

Jiffy

Right before Christmas I chickensat. Sarah suggested that I microwave some popcorn, as this is an especially enjoyable treat (so much so that it inspired exclamations including: "Aunt Lisa, you're the best!" and "This is SO FUN!"). I crouched down to read them the directions and show them the accompanying cartoons. I told them that their job was to listen hard and tell me when to open the microwave door- a very important job indeed! I threw the cellophane away, then turned around to see this adorable display of diligence:

Ethan Turns Six!!

The Big Mouse himself came to Ethan's party.

There was one tiny party crasher who had to be shooed away.

That's right- this driving video game is actually called "Faster Than Speed". You're not imagining the worst name ever. It's for real, and it's trademarked.



We all played a TON of Skee Ball. It was super fun.


What is this...Russia? Where are all the prizes?!






When we had touched as many greasy, germy video games as we could stand, it was home for more presents.




Check out his reflection in the laptop!

You Know You're In Frazier Park When...


full pound bags of loose tobacco grace the 'impulse buy' section.




Miranda was either worn out from her bongo-playing, or was overcome with her love of new toys. Either way I think this gift was a hit.
