]]>On the wonders of Science:
Mommy, isn't it interesting that the moon is up in the air but it doesn't fall down onto the earth? Do you know why? It all has to do with GRAVITY Mommy. Gravity.
On Life and Death
Mommy, if a Mommy dies with a baby in her tummy can the Daddy decide to still have the baby be borned?
On Matters of the Heart
(watching the Sound of Music; The scene is where Capt. Von Trapp walks out onto the patio during his big party for the Baroness, and stands there watching Maria teach Fredrik an Austrian folk dance before he cuts in) Mommy, does the Captain know yet that he's in love with Maria?
On the Basics of Medicine
(while waiting to see her pediatrician about her ear infection) Mommy, I think the doctor should have 2 waiting rooms instead of one and then they should separate all the sick people from the healthy people and then the healthy people won't get the germs from the sick people. How come my doctor doesn't have 2 waiting rooms, Mommy? One for the sick people and one for the healthy people?
On The Economy
(after hearing Tim make an offhand comment about how much he paid for gas this morning) Mommy, if we have to keep paying more for gas, how are we going to be able to have money to go visit Grandma Anne and Grandpa Jerry and go to Disneyland again and do all those things? (I reassured her that by making sensible choices and compromises - like looking for sales or buying cheaper brands or being smarter about what we decide to use our money for, we will still be able to save money for trips and fun things. But I thought it was actually pretty cool that she actually processed the information and came up with a reasonable potential consequence!)
"When the rock band OK Go, famous for their viral videos including the spectacular and award winning "treadmills video", wanted to feature a 4-minute long Rube Goldberg Machine in an upcoming video, they tapped Syyn Labs to build it. The requirements were that it had to be interesting, not "overbuilt" or too technology-heavy, and easy to follow. The machine also had to be built on a shoestring budget, synchronize with beats and lyrics in the music and end on time over a 3.5 minute song, play a part of the song, and be filmed in one shot. To make things more challenging still, the space chosen was divided into two floors and the machine would use both.
"We had our work cut out for us; every facet of Syyn Labs' expertise was required to meet this tremendous challenge. See the results of this remarkable effort in the video embedded above."

]]>Enjoy :-)
Oh yeah... and I used Zara to create the banner graphic. Pretty, huh? Not bad for an amateur.
]]>And is a hit!

Yeah, we got another 2 hours still, but MAN is she excited already!
Which makes Tim a happy and proud Daddy :-)

]]>We'll start with our visit to the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique where, for a small king's ransom, your daughter can get dolled up like a princess complete with hair, makeup nails, dress, shoes, tiara, purse, gloves, and royal jewels. I kid you not. And she gets her own "personal royal photographer" to memorialize the entire event from start to finish. Which you can choose to purchase for a lesser king's ransom. Here are a few of them. It was TOTALLY worth it. Even though the look was completely destroyed in the torrential tornado warning rains and winds that were whipping around us as we trudged back to the hotel. She still loved the wet hair piece and insisted on wearing it the rest of the day.

A "Belle" (as in the Disney "Beauty and the Beast" movie) princess
dress for Bobbin. Still need to add the zipper, sew on the upper trim
and button, and then hem. But almost there!

This is the only photo I took all trip with my camera on my phone. The
rest are on my regular camera. Can't wait to post 'em. We head home
tomorrow so stay tuned!
A bit more of a closeup view of the matching dress. I can't wait to see Bobbin's face, and to have her and her doll side by side for a photo :-)
]]>I just finished a matching princess dress for Bobbin's MyTwinn doll. I didn't have a specific pattern so it required some creativity. I was also short on fabric so I had to do a couple of unconventional things to make it work. But it turned out nice in the end, if I may say so myself!
