And this is what Arlo (and Lev) said....

Arlo and his friend, Lev...are on the maroon team...

Levy, we are not on the maroon team, right?
Right, Arlo. We are on the purplish-red team.
No...we are on the darkish red kind of purple-but-not-really-purple team, right?
No Arlo. We are on the darkish blue with reddish and purplish.
Hey! I know, Lev, we are on the darkish reddish-bluish team!
You're right, Arlo! Everyone, we are on the darkish reddish-bluish team. But definitely...not on maroon, right?
Right.

And this is what Arlo said...

Because you always wanted me?
I always wanted you.
And then I showed up. In a box. And you opened the box. And you looked inside. And there I was, your Arlo?
And there you were, my Arlo.
Because you always wanted me?
I always wanted you.

And this is what Arlo said...

And this is what Arlo said...a few moons ago during a quiet time of snuggles with me, his sweetie...

Arlo: I love you, sweetie.

Me: I love you too, Arlo.

Arlo: Call me Legendary Snake.

Me: ????

Arlo: Don't tell anyone, sweetie. My name is now Legendary Snake. You mustn't tell Daddy or Hughby. (Arlo's name for Hugh; pronounced Hughbee)

Me: Okay...Legen...dary...Snake.

Arlo: Thanks Sweetie.

2 months later...

Arlo: Goodnight Sweetie.

Me: Goodnight Legendary Snake.

Arlo: Don't forget Throwing Star.

Me: ???

Arlo: My name is Legendary Snake Throwing Star.

Today...

I've decided to revisit this space with tales from Hugh and Arlo aka Legendary Snake Throwing Star. xo 

It was bound to happen...

A new winter fashion accessory... xo
PostScript :: Again...with the window.

Project Runway

Arlo's Winter Fashion Indoor Leisure Wear ::
1. Pajamas - all day, nearly all the time.
2. Barefoot in too big boots - all day, not all the time because somebody mysteriously removes said footwear during nap time which is a blessing as those stinky dogs need a good two hours of air out time.
3. Giant Yellow Mittens - all day, all the time except when Arlo is eating or trying to pick up a pair of car keys.
And there you have it - he's no sartorialist, but he sure is stinkin' cute.

PostScript :: Seriously, what is going on outside that window?

Friday Fun

Who Said Dollhouses Were Just For Girls?

Okay. Probably no one actually said dollhouses were just for girls...but anyway, let's pretend somebody really important did...because tonight we proved them wrong! With some help from our scissors, painter's tape and empty toy boxes - we designed a little palace that we like to call - Transformer Headquarters. {But when you say Transformer Headquarters it's important to say it in a deep, robotic voice - and then maybe add a dun dun dunnnnn at the end.}

PostScript :: Notice the plates and cups. That was my decorating touch...A special thanks to Hugh for indulging his dollhouse-mama on this project.
