child’s play

babysat for capria and sicilia the other night and took a bunch of pictures. i want children so badly. as long as they turn out like these two…

this was in capria’s bedroom. the minute she gets up the stairs, sicilia rips through capria’s undie basket and i always have to put it on a higher shelf in order for her to avoid it. i took a picture this time because she just kept flinging them (which made a nice neat pile for me to clean up. tidiness = essential

nothing burns energy like dancing with children. capria looks like a tornado or an irish river dancer:

my favorite…tying ballet slippers:

i am babysitting right now. about half an hour ago we came in from outside. silicia was crying. i grabbed a pacifier for her and in under two minutes she was sound asleep in my arms. suprisingly, capria is kind of tired and she is resting on the couch watching noggin on mute (i can’t figure out the volume! arghhh). i love these bbs like they were my little sisters/my own kin.

in a completely unrelated topic, i love bob dylan. the year was 2007, and i was in the car on my way to the city. my dad stopped at a rest stop to pee and i opted to sit in the car and wait for him instead. BEST DECISION EVER. ‘like a rolling stone’ came on classic vinyl on sirius fm and i almost died. ever since then i have been a dedicated fan. i think that he is the most downloaded artist on my itunes, and the third most downloaded of all (after led zeppelin and the who). he came to the times union center on october 6th, 2007 (which was my 16th birthday). i went with my dad, dominique and nico. fun!!

bob dylan is not only a performing artist, but he is a poet too. i really don’t like most poetry. i am like….GET TO THE POINT ALREADY! bob dylan (along with some others…i guess i can make that a separate entry) is the exception. one of my favorite songs of his is ‘tangled up in blue’. 1) my nickname is blue 2) the lyrics are fascinating. the part that always gets me the most is

She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
“I thought you’d never say hello,” she said
“You look like the silent type.”
Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century.
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin’ coal
Pourin’ off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
Tangled up in blue.

oh yeah, and if we are going to be superficial, bob dylan is soooo hot in the most unconventional way

OH, i almost forgot! today i took a quiz on facebook about what nationality i truly am, and i was SWEDISH! this whole prince carl phillip thing…it was meant to be.

this is a quickie….with no gifs or anything. so im babysitting the best kids ever. one is….2 and a half? and the other is maybe 8 months? so i fed the younger one, whose name is sicilia. i burped her after she was done feeding, and she did do some lil’ burps here and there. well, like 10 minutes ago she started getting a little bit uncomfortable so i do that at thing where you sorta toss the baby in the air (that sounds bad but you know what im trying to say). well i sit her down on the couch and she BARFS all over my black leggins. seriously, it was this white, chunky liquid dripping down my leg. total barf! (HAHA, no pun intended!!) i love babies.

this was basically a segway into letting ~MaH rEadErs~ know that i will have a big v-day post tomorrow!
