I'm currently engaged in the holiday tradition of trying to take a cute photo of the Short One for Christmas cards - it's been very uphill going (also a tradition). While I was flipping through old photos, desperately looking for one I could use instead of the gazillion I took this weekend that came out blurry (the SO is quite fast on his feet these days), I came across this photo. It won't do for holiday cards, of course, but I still find it kind of appealing. The SO was playing with his little Playmobil figures right after we had our new windows installed. I'm still not sure if the people are admiring our windows or trying to see out of them, but I thought the whole installation had a lot of character.
So, everyone have their Christmas shopping done yet? Should we change the subject?

The SO is ready for an MFA. I've seen "serious" art installations in the same vein.
....SO sweet!
Andrew and Rupa, Thank you so much! Of course, I think he's an exceptionally creative child, but that's motherhood for you, eh?
