Just for the family
No pithy observances. No narrative cohesion. Just a bunch of pictures for the Zeh/Thompson/Bateman diaspora.
Here's Ainsley showing off her Quadrilla creations, which she makes entirely her own self and then shouts MARBLE FUN! as loudly as possible when the marbles run down. I love this set but I'd kinda like a whole other room for it to go in -- its epic scope dominates our living room/kitchen. Either that or a piece of plywood to make it transportable when I need to get out my TV-Watchin' Chair and watch The Wire.
Here's Ainsley opening and then enjoying her cook set ...and then putting her new cooking skills to good use by making the family waffles (everyone has to earn their keep around here).
Friday is the new Sunday, since it is the only day no one has to leave the house by 8. Thus Waffle Day has moved to Friday. Except this week -- MEMORIAL DAY, SHAVUOT, HAUSNER CALENDAR SCREW-UP = two day week! Hello waffles on Monday and Thursday too!
Here's Ainsley with her new coat rack and new Ainsley painting finally hung. We lacked some "Anchor Bolts" (which if anyone asks is what I'm naming my apparel company, when I get one; our product line consists of only gray hooded sweatshirts and baggy brown pants) which is why it took so long to get up. Dig the shades.
Here's Ainsley on the pony at Hometown Days in San Carlos. The festivities included a really nice parade, a petting zoo, a bunch of other neat stuff and a NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE on a three-story high inflatable slide.
What was I THINKING? Actually I was thinking, "Kids break their necks on these things," but check it out, THEY DO.
This is more my speed:

I wish we had a playroom. Would love to have a place to put all of these big-ass toys and their many parts. Then again I guess it's good that their playroom is also our living room / TV room / home office. Makes it easy to keep an eye on things.
Loved this post and all the great pictures of Ainsley.
