He's gonna be a hottie! I don't envy you the nex few years, girls banging down your door if they don't already.

And this is what the 4 year old mad scientist is up to right this moment. She's obsessed with "chemistry" and uses her pipettes and test tubes to make "potions" out of coloured water.



She's got mismatched socks! She really looks mad! She's wearing the "Stubborn but cute" burro tshirt we got her at the Grand Canyon in summer 2008, right after hanging out with Distracted and Elessar. It's getting quite a bit too small now, but she loves it.

Now, give her some baking soda and vinegar.

My son J. had a kitchen chemistry set and the baking soda/vinegar reaction sure was a blast, literally.

I love your pic's Aikiweezie! Your son and the sheep both look very festive.

OMG! That's a reindeer!

She is making 'potions'? Sounds like a Harry Potter fan. She looks a bit like Hermione, there.

[enterprikayak]

She's actually a lot like Hermione. lol Except, instead of running to the library everytime she needs to know something, she just makes me Google it.

She was looking at our fridge magnets the other day, and one is King Tut like this. She knows that when her cat died, his soul went up to play with the other cats in Heaven. He didn't need his body anymore, so we buried it in the garden. So I said that Tut was done with his body and decided to go to Heaven. But in Egypt, they didn't bury kings in the garden...instead they wrapped the body up all special and built a nice box to put the body in and painted the person's face on the outside.

"So they wouldn't forget who was inside?" she asked. "Right." I said.

"So his body's in there all wrapped up?" she said. "Yep" I said. "I wanna see it," she said. "Uhhhh, what?" I said. And she goes to the computer and hits the key to open the internet and she's like, "I want to see a picture of a wrapped up mummy. Show me."

So I carefully scrolled through the teeny Google image pics, looking for one that wouldn't horrify her. we found one that was nicely displayed in a museum display box....it was sorta curled up and looked like beef jerky. She thought it was really neat. And then she's like (all cheerfully) "I bet King Tut is watching me look at his body from Heaven!"

Man that kid creeps me out sometimes.

That's awesome!

[WarpGirl]

Sounds like you have a little genius!

I desire to share with all of you some images.

In the first, you can see my daughter and her grandmother (my mother-in-law).



It's Christmas day, and my wife and I wanted to bring her mom to a nice and peculiar restaurant (My mother - she and my mother-in-law outlived their husbands - is unable to go out, and we shared with her the last part of Christmas Day in her house).
The restaurant (Il Ristoro del Priore) is this one.
The first dining hall.



The second (the one where we had lunch).



There are also hotel rooms.



Very nice, isn't it?
And you have to think this restaurant is here.



It's the "Basilica of Superga".
What is The "Basilica of Superga"?
Here's a link for those who want to know what it is.

You can see the Basilica behind my daughter and my mother-in-law and also... behind me.



Well! I hope you can find me slightly... Santa!
Mh... maybe a little too much black?

[Distracted]

In keeping with recent administrative terminology changes on this site, we have Mafioso Santa!

Asso--Great pictures!! About the Santa thing--it would be REALLLY, REALLY COOL, because it would be like part Santa and part Johnny Cash with all that black!!

[enterprikayak]

awesome pictures!

...we have Mafioso Santa!

I love Distracted's suggestion
Thank you, Asso, for your nice photos and for the link about the history of this Yuvara's (spelling) work.
I noted that the clock of the Basilica shows the same time on both your pictures and on the illustration in my book about the architecture. Did it stop?
And did you daughter get tired a little with being photographed?

[justTripn]

Your daughter is very beautiful by the way, and she looks a little like you. Great pics.

[Asso]

A "consigliere" (BTW, do you know that the term could ring better as "Consigliori? And it should be pronounced with a slight Sicilian accent) and a "Mafioso Santa"!
I don't know what the hell this site will become!

Thank you for your nice spelling.
The clock is stopped, yes. Who knows... maybe one day...
My daugther? Tired? BUT SHE IS ALWAYS TIRED! Ah... the daugthers!

[Ludmila]

The clock is stopped, yes. Who knows... maybe one day...

It is sad but you are in a good company. If I remember well Versailles's clock (in the palace's yard) is also stopped,

[Alelou]

Looks like a lovely and delicious outing.

I've figured out where I've seen the person who makes me think of Asso! It's the Chantix commercial. Check the bearded guy out at the top of this website: http://www.chantix.com/index.aspx

(Hey, at least it's a stop-smoking product. An oncologist should appreciate that!)
