She's an Artist!

Do you remember watching the end of "Toy Story 2" where Stinky Pete is stuck in that little girl's back pack with the barbie? You can only see the clean side of the barbie's face, and then she turns to Stinky Pete and says "You're going to love so and so, she's an artist" revealing her beautifully painted face. Stinky Pete felt a lot of horror at that moment, which is what I felt two day's ago. I was trying to convince Allegra to take a nap and in the process I fell asleep. I woke up about 30 minutes later to this face:



This next picture was yesterday. I went to take a shower and when I got out she had stamped her whole face and arms! It's still blue today. Like I said, she's an artist!




Allegra is something else! She is sweet, silly, strong willed, very vocal when she's had enough, very loving and tender... in the words of my friend Kjersten, "She's like a little pixie". I love this crazy girl!

Beautiful! If I had a quarter for every time I scrubbed writing utensil off of skin (or couches, walls, tables, counters, beds, drawers, doors, cars...the list goes on) I would be a very rich lady!

Hey- this is completely off the subject, but does Joel work for an oil company? I don't know why I think that, but we are looking into that field. If he does will you email me? We're just wondering generally how you like it. carolita.lee@gmail.com thanks sid!

You forgot to add that she smokes a pack of cigarettes a day! I love that raspy voice.

"do you like kitty cats?"

That's my favorite thing she has ever said to me :)

Those moments make you want to smile and cry at the same time. She is darling though!
