"Aha! I have stolen Ryan's hat. At last! I can have it for myself!"
"Nut-uh-uh Abigail! This is MY hat! Shame on you."
. . . . .
"See? It fits on MY head!"
"Ha ha ha! Mine forever! Byeee!"
. . . . . .
"Oh, boohoo! I'm so sad. I thought I could get away with it."
LATER.......
Ryan is arrested by the fashion police. Mug shots are taken.
...But he is released on his own recognizance.
Look! Michael Flatley is back in town! Limited engagement!
-----------------
Then Ryan goes to an audition for the role of George Washington, in the contemporary remake of "The Crossing of the Potomac."
---------------------
"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
----------
THIS is the hat:
6-foot-3. Too tall for the role of Peter Pan. Next!
Hahahaha, what a couple of goofballs. I guess he -- they -- likes it! ; )

Boy...those two really can act!
Posted by: cari | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 12:30 AM
Actors!! ;)
Posted by: Kristen | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 12:33 AM
What a cutie! I'm glad he likes the hat. :-)
Posted by: Wanda | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 12:39 AM
They - and the hat - seem to be having a good time! (Other than the poor me Abigail shot!) I'm looking forward to the next shoot, when Abigail gets her hat-to-be....
Nothing like a good laugh before bed, thanks, Norma! (And Abigail and Ryan!)
Posted by: Cathy-Cate | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 12:39 AM
Awesome photo shoot... love it!
Posted by: Kae | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 01:32 AM
I'm cracking up over the crying shot. My god, what she must have been like as a toddler!
Posted by: Kathy | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 02:51 AM
Well, THAT just made my day. Thank you, Ab and Ryan! A finer hat has never been had.
Posted by: Sandy | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 06:01 AM
That was better than "Cats." I predict a long run on Broadway, followed by a movie!
Posted by: Michelle | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 06:19 AM
Squeals of delight and laughter. Thanks for the cheery post. What a great hat that can cause so much happiness.
Posted by: Jennifer | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 06:25 AM
Too freakin cute for 6am. Seriously, cute kids, Norma. They are quite the set of clowns!
Posted by: ann | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 06:38 AM
Cute! Can't wait to see the pics when Abigail gets her hat.
Posted by: Jean E. | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 06:50 AM
I think they had WAY TOO much fun with this photo shoot!
Posted by: Carole | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 06:59 AM
I have trouble getting pictures from the people I send handknits to. I guess the problem is that I don't have any actors among my friends and family.
Posted by: Leanne | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 07:02 AM
Cute hat. Cute kids. Looks like you will need to make her a hat. But I'm sure you have already.
Posted by: sue | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 07:40 AM
Heh.... they are verra good at making good times! Have you gotten that second hat knit up yet? hehehehe, fabulous photos!
Posted by: marianne | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 07:48 AM
I can't wait until you finish Abigail's hat!
Posted by: Carol | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 07:51 AM
Two kids and a hat...who knew they could have so much fun?! Forget the i-Pods and cell phones. Make those kids some mittens and let the fun begin!
Posted by: kathy | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 07:59 AM
That was great. What sweet kids. Can't wait to see the sequel featuring Abigail's hat.
Posted by: Paula | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 08:14 AM
Could they be just a LITTLE bit more cute??? LOL!
Posted by: Paul | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 08:38 AM
I can't stop giggling at the pictures and I'm pretty sure my co-workers are getting ready to stage an intervention. Great narrative... great actors... BRAVO!!
Posted by: Sara | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 09:15 AM
Funny.
Am I the only one to notice that there is a guy in backround of the first photo that looks like he is taking a *ahem* leak?
Posted by: Teresa C | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 09:16 AM
those theater degrees are really paying off!
Posted by: ann | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 09:28 AM
Wow. They really ARE good actors!! (grin)
Posted by: --Deb | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 09:35 AM
You get the best models to do your photo shoots! Great hat...great kids, too.
Posted by: margene | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 09:44 AM
They are both too funny :o)
Posted by: Stephanie | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 10:15 AM
Wow. I guess he really _did_ want a white hat with a giant pompom on top! I wouldn't have believed it without the photographic evidence (you know us science types--we always want proof).
Teresa C is right, that guy does look like he's relieving himself. But, maybe he just has his hands in his pockets? (I hope)
Posted by: Elisabeth | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 10:35 AM
Just too funny! That hat looks great and it looks like they had a great time posing for you.
Posted by: Kelly | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 11:07 AM
They are too friggin' cute.
Posted by: regina | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 11:20 AM
Too funny!! I love it...
Posted by: Beth | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 11:23 AM
Oh my! Gorgeous!!!! ;-) and I don't mean the hat, even though it is cute.
Hugs!!!
Posted by: Cat | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 11:32 AM
Such fabulous silliness deserves scarves and mittens to go with the hat(s).
Posted by: Cookie | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 11:50 AM
What a great couple! Cute and endearing and such acting!
Posted by: kmkat | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 12:11 PM
holy crap, that is one giant pom pom.
the kids sure are cute though.
Posted by: maryse | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 12:38 PM
stunning. classic. rugged yet stlish. and i like the hat, too!
what a fantastic idea for a post about a white ribbed hat...see, that COULD have been really boring. but not with you, no ma'am! kind of makes me want to leap around central park for a while now...
Posted by: alice | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 02:14 PM
Hey Norma, you might want to check out the Robot Chicken 300(Americans) spoof. Funny stuff, but no pompoms on the hats.
Posted by: Michelene | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 03:04 PM
Boy oh boy, talk about a fire sale...all stash gone in 24 hours! have you ever considered selling real estate ;-)
Posted by: Beverly | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 03:10 PM
Too funny!
Posted by: scoutj | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 05:45 PM
It's always good to see a little bit of silliness. Glad to see that everyone is having a good old time.
Posted by: Seanna Lea | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 05:58 PM
Obviously, if the acting thing doesn't work out, they both have futures as hat models!
Posted by: janna | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 07:38 PM
Clearly they'd been drinking.
Posted by: Sil | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 08:33 PM
Love it! Period.
Posted by: Tracey | Monday, January 07, 2008 at 11:04 PM
Perfect to not do the cables for Ryan. Excellent job, Norma!
Posted by: charli | Tuesday, January 08, 2008 at 03:39 AM
If I send them hats, will they frolic on camera for me, too? What delightful, generous, beautiful people thay are!
Posted by: Roxie | Tuesday, January 08, 2008 at 09:31 AM
I guess he likes it!! :)
