remember that sweet girl of mine? the one in the polka dots? well she is turning ten in a few days, so of course ALL we have been talking about is THE PARTY! we were all set to have a picnic theme,but elsie is the little planner here and she has every right to change her mind as many times as she wants. after a little research she thought of having a PRETTY IN PINK PARTY. i cannot tell you how happy i am about this decision. i loved the movie, i love the colour. i love that i still have a girl young enough to think that pink is wonderful. we bought all sorts of lovely pink things. hats, balloons, plates, paper lanterns, bubble gum, lip gloss, key chains and flowers. what did we do before dollar stores?
emma still thinks pink is "awsome".... awsome.... she is 13 1/2. she is so not interested in a pink party though. instead, she wants a pink dress for her grade 8 grad. we went and bought the fabric and her favorite pattern. it said easy on the front. i am all for that. i will start it as soon as the PRETTY IN PINK PARTY is over. i will need all the time i can get. what the heck was i thinking?
having a hard time with this one. coming to grips with the fact that my baby girl is now 10. so much has gone on in my life since this angel arrived. difficult to deal with kind of stuff. elsie seemed to come just in time to help me get through it all. she has always been happy and smiling and she has more love to give than anyone else i know. for 10 years she has been filling my heart. two daughters, both so wonderful and so unique. emma, your turn to be embarassed by mommy's mushy love talk will come soon. today though, it's elsie's day. happy birthday lovey xoxo.
