barbie.

if you don't know already, we go to mcdonalds... a lot. greta got a happy meal a few weeks ago and lo and behold in the depths of the happy meal snuggled between a cheeseburger and apple slices was a barbie and its been a love affair ever since. on our trips to target we have to go down all the boy toy aisles and now the barbie aisle too. she is in love and because i am a "spoiler" she already has a collection of dolls, a movie, and vintage barbie t-shirt. this morning i downloaded one my junior high favorites aqua's "barbie girl" and we have not stopped listening to it, literally (jude is partial to the 'ken' part).

i sort of love this new obsession of miss pretzel and i will totally indulge it. i was a HUGE barbie lover myself. barbie was my go to girl and all my barbies learned the "bird and the bees" before i did. i had quite the collection until my brother bryce and his friend played barbie massacre one day and killed them all, and it killed me. i rebuilt my collection only to have it dismantled by brooke and paige in their attempt to cut hair, they turned them into "butchy barbies" and i don't think i have ever recovered. poor barbie has been through a lot.... the bratz dollz nearly took her down. i will be with barbie forever and i will continue to build my barbie kingdom with my daughter greta because truly 'life in plastic, its fantastic'.

enjoy.

i love her cheesing for the camera, having barbie dance, her checking out her shirt, and of course the self applause at the end. oh, and i didn't even capture the best of this.

post edit.

i forgot to mention that whenever i tell someone my name and they repeat it like (keenan, kenna, kenon) i say its "kennan" like 'ken and barbie'. they never forget after that.
