Introducing the first ever Jedi knight-bird

“And do you know that Peep-Peep Head turned into a Jedi knight-bird? And his new name is Sparklers. And he has a secret x-wing, and it’s (whispers) my trampoline. And that’s why his head is bigger. And he has a invisible light-saber.”

Birthday cake 

We had to postpone Amelia’s birthday party because she got sick, but we’re still having a small family party at home, just the four of us. Here’s her homemade birthday cake, inexpertly decorated by me: chocolate-chocolate chip cake with vanilla buttercream frosting.

A girl and her cats

Amelia was home sick from school today, and the cats enjoyed sleeping on and around her very much. Maybe it’s the warm blanket, or maybe they’re just trying to suffocate her germs to death.
