Easysticks - by the Cain Sosnoff family

It’s a little shocking how entertaining erasers and a candle snuffer can be

Putting out her own fires

And those of her neighbors

Even the kitty

Hazel in a cabinet knob

Everybody in one (very bright) shot!

Surrounded by friends, human and otherwise

We cleared out of the kitchen for a while

And managed to stay busy

Making homemade space rangers, among other creations

Best buddies

Everybody sing: “All the little fish are swimming in the water…”

There were hundreds of car races at least

Look at that face

Momentous Thanksgivikkuh! First time in 96 years, last time for another 57

Hazel turns the dryer door into a gate

And brings laundry through the gate and to the dryer for me

Closing up shop

The ultimate reward: getting to sit on top while pressing the button!

First night of Hanukkah! Hazel wanted to know where the cake was and also if we could blow out the candles.

Hazel likes to get close to the stereo, up on a chair

To dance

Especially if it’s playing the soundtrack from Cars

Every day Hazel invents new ways for Lightning to get into trouble

Foreground Sally

Background Hazel (Both times I was being instructed to take a picture of Sally, of course)

Cozying up to an egg beater rocket ship statue at today’s art open studio. (The rocket ship artist and his studio were surprisingly kid friendly!)

Braving the big rocks again (This was the site of Hazel’s knee injury in September.)

Showing off her chicken stamp

Fun with sun, shadow, and solar panels

We successfully forced Hazel to keep her hat on for the whole farm trip. Major mom victory!

Reading the pictures on the sides of this block

Hazel received a homemade wand in the mail today (thanks Lil!) and instantly she was “the queen of the fairies.”*

*She was actually chanting “I’m the queen of the fairies! This night we will all be married [sic].”

Indoor mayhem with Grammy

Serious jumping, too

These toys were running “back and source” and all over the place
