Growing Snowflowers

PRINCESS DAY 2008Yesterday was a bit of a yukky day weather wise, it started out hot and muggy and quickly turned into a stormy afternoon. We decided early on that July 10 would be the official 'princess day' in our house. Piper picked out her Tinkerbell outfit and I popped Paisley in a little sleeping beauty number I picked up a few days ago at a consignment store for $6. We spent the morning in the cul de sac driving the 'carriage'(aka Barbie jeep) to the ball...when the weather started to turn we headed inside for a showing of Cinderella, which both girls enjoyed thoroughly. For lunch...enchanted sandwiches...yep, you heard me right. Piper made her own and washed them down with a glass of 'pink milk'

Then the storm came...the sky turned green and we headed for the basement. Huddled in the bedroom, under the covers with the dog, the girls & I told stories and snuggled until the worst had passed.

For 'tea' we headed across the Kingdom(aka cul de sac) to Miss Kristine's house for a delightful afternoon of miniature scones and macaroons.

When Daddy came home, Piper and he spent half an hour 'dancing at the ball' in the living room....the perfect ending to a completely lovely princess day.

Did I let the kids wear their dresses all day? yep, even to Target, that's what fairy Godmothers do I hear.
