Princess for the Day

By
(Mom, this post is for you. The rest of you can read along, if you like.)

This is a rare and unusual thing: a post mostly about me! Tuesday night, we held a Personal Progress awards ceremony for our young women, complete with red carpet and tuxedo-clad Master of Ceremonies. I wish I'd taken more pictures... I thought the evening was fabulous!

My dear friend came over and transformed me! What fun to feel so pretty. Thanks, Adena!


Pam and me all decked out

You're always a Princess! You just don't always look like one... Hard to do with all those boys around! Thanks for the pictures.

Dad corrected me--you always LOOK like a Princess, you just aren't always dressed like one.

For someone as old as dirt (see previous post), you dress up GREAT! Knowing you are a princess is more important than always looking like one.

What a great idea for a Evening of Excellence! And you sure do clean up nice! Besides, knowing you can be gorgeous when you want to means you don't have to put out all that effort ALL of the time.

Ah, you look so pretty! I'm glad you enjoyed your evening. When we were kids we played house. Now that we are moms we still play house. . . all day. How come we can't play dress up princess more often? LOL

How sweet of Adena to work her magic on you. I'm sure she would say that it was easy to do since she started with a beautiful gal to begin with. You look an awful lot like Eliza Doolittle to me!!!! (When she is going to the grand ball, of course.)

Oh, and one more thing. You do make the perfect princess since you also have the angel voice to go with the good looks and sweet disposition. :)

Beautiful Fall Photo Shoot

By

We've had a beautiful fall here in Colorado. On the way home from school, we stopped at the park to play. I thought it would be great to get some pictures of the kids in the beautiful leaves. The kids thought it would be more fun to play.  I did get a few good shots. And some passive aggression--you can take my picture, but you can't take the leaf off my head!  Come on guys, just let me get a nice, normal picture and then you can play.  Maybe this is normal? Note that Brett has perfected the big-brother eye roll. I'm pretty sure we have a family picture with my big brother making that exact same face.  Ah...pretend normal!  The boys set this shot up themselves. Pretty cool! I got a few more decent shots in... And some genuine brotherly love...  And then the real boys came out to play!

Yucky Soup

By
No pictures on this one. You'll thank me for it. Lucas and his friend played outside this morning. When I asked what they were doing in the side yard, they informed me they were making yucky soup for the birds to eat. I didn't investigate further because: a. they were staying in the yard b. I didn't really want to know Maybe I should have checked a little closer. They had put lots of dirt, some bricks and rock, a dried-out apple from the ground, some nails, and whatever else they found into a 5-gallon bucket that had rainwater in it. Then they took a long stick and stirred it up, continually adding more stuff for the lucky birds to eat. They spent a lot of time on this, and really gave of themselves so the birds would have food. Turns out there wasn't enough water in the bucket for this to truly be soup. With no hose nearby, they did the only thing two little boys would do. Peed. In the bucket. Outside. And standing up, Lucas told me. For the birds. Thoughtful, really....
