Our life: Birthdays and Parkdays

These days, we are firmly entrenched in the life phase of kid birthdays and parkdays. Case in point, last weekend, we went to one of Alissa’s classmate’s birthday parties… which was, in fact, held at a playground. And in the short week since that party, we have been to a handful of other parks. Point is… get used to seeing more pictures like these:

I was a fairly anal kid. Face painting in particular kinda grossed me out. Alissa, however, is quite the opposite. At Daniel’s birthday party, there were a few face-painters-in-training. Unfazed, Alissa asked to be a cat. Here’s the transformation.

Although in this picture, she looks more like a monkey from the zoo:

Even monkeys like birthday cake.

Here are a few pictures from our local playground. We don’t go nearly as often as we used to when it was just Alissa. But the babies seem to have picked up the ins and outs of slides and such nonetheless.
