Batman returns.

Andale! Andale!

Speedy's namesake.

Hugo wanted to wear a doggy collar like Speedy.

Funny face.

See my doggy ears?

Smooch!

I love you, Speedy.

Poof! You're a ballerina.

Cheese!

Hey guys, let's get this party started.

Birthday pooch in a tutu.

Did you say birthday cake?

Homemade doggy bone cake for our Speedy.

Hugo wants a taste! "Hugo, I thought you were a vegetarian?"

"I am, Mama. I'm just eating a piece of cheese."

Lick. Lick.

Our lil' chihuahua, Speedy Gonzales turned 1 on April 25. Happy Birthday, SG!

Mummy trouble

Hugo's curiosity about mummies all started when we checked out Tim Burton's book at the library a couple of months ago. The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories is a collection of odd short stories & illustrations. Mummy Boy was Hugo's favorite story.

"He wasn't soft and pink with a fat little tummy; he was hard and hollow, a little boy mummy."

This past week we checked out a couple of more "kid friendly" mummy books. "Where's My Mummy?" is a fun read.

Michael Rex is one of our favorite authors. His "Goodnight Goon" parody was Hugo's book of choice for a long time. The Goon even makes an appearance at the end of this book.

Thanks to Aunt Jen Jen's Easter gift card Hugo is now the proud owner of the Matchbox Mummy's Gold Playset. The Mummy's eyes light up & he bellows "Who dare wakes the Mummy?" Sometimes Hugo is fascinated by this & other times he is kind of creeped out. Ha.

Happy Easter!

Wake up, sleepyhead! It's Easter morning & the Easter Bunny came & left you surprises.

Aaarrgghhh....I don't want to wake up, Mama.

Uuummm....did you say surprises? As in candy surprises?

Candy eggs! Woo hoo!

Can I go ahead & eat 'em?

Chomp. Chomp.

See? Candy eggs are tasty.

More eggs?

I can't believe my luck. The Easter Bunny rocks!

Look, Mama. It's Bunny girl.

Hotwheels!

What's next?

Taste testing candy eggs.

Gee. What's this Easter egg doing in here? Guess the Easter Bunny needed some of my carrot juice.

This is Bunny Girl. Hugo got her for Easter. She is pals with Julius & the rest of the Paul Frank gang. Hugo is fond of Paul Frank characters.
