Today was not one of my finest. I had to work in the morning and B left early for the kitchen and I just wasn’t prepared. The girls were in need of attention and there just wasn’t enough of me to go around. It was disappointing and I felt stretched too thin. We are still trying to figure things out. We are going through a big learning curve around here.
B had another big event tonight and we stopped in the kitchen to try some of the food. I piped out big trays of gourmet deviled eggs and not only were they pretty they were DELICIOUS!
I made brownie bites for the event and didn’t even let my girls have a single one for breakfast. Such a mean mom!
The girls had library books and a craft of duct tape and mail boxes. They decorated their mail boxes fabulously and they wrote letters and filled each others mail boxes. I was frantically trying to get work done and heard lots of shouting and angry “ANNNNABELLLLE”s and “GWYNETH, STOP!!!!”s. Makes it a little hard to concentrate, but then I later took a look at the letters they wrote to each other and their mailboxes were filled with “I love you”s and “You are the best sister ever”. Just when I’m about ready to knock their heads together they go and do something super sweet.
Gwyneth found these two books at Costco. You can only imagine her delight.
Today we attempted the braid crown and fancy curls. Let’s just say that it took me a LONG time, but she was really happy so it was worth it. And she does look like a little princess, doesn’t she?
We ended our crazy day with a party at the Tyler’s. Steph graduated from college and Amy joined us in toasting her. Congratulations!!
