Ava and her binoculars

A couple of weeks ago my mom made Ava a pair of binoculars out of a tube of wrapping paper. Talk about a blast from the past. When my sister and I were growing up, we always did stuff like this. I can't tell you how many macaroni pictures, forts and detective agencies we founded way back in the day.









And when exactly was way back in the day? Let's just say I can remember the days when Michael Jackson's video for thriller was more creepy than he was, I was going to marry David Hasselhoff and it was many years before Elmo roamed the earth. Instead, a certain blue furry monster ruled Sesame Street...



I knew this song by heart...



the first record I bought with my own money had this song on it...



and who can forget this classic from my parents' record collection...



Thanks for looking!
