Miri was fascinated with the ashtray stands as we walked to SafeWay for donuts yesterday morning.  She remarked: "Ashtrays are gross.  I like trees."....okay?   Later that night at the dinner table, Chris and I asked the girls if they would like to have a Barbeque at the park.  Miri's eyes lit up as she said: "Ya!  An Ariel Barbie-Q!"  Then Nina joined in the excitement, "Ya!  We can eat princesses at the Barbie-Q!".....okay??  Kids' minds are so cool.

 Pony is officially lost.  Yay!!!!!  I think Miri accidentally left her at the store.  Can I just say, Yay!!!!!!!!  Yes, Miri had an emotional breakdown when we broke the news to her, but after a day, she has come to terms with her loss.  Yay!!!!!!
