My little Kendall.
Foto Friday: Beyond Fashion…
Gotta love a little drama in the headline! (Sorry, too much coffee this morning.)
Anyway, before you faint because there have been TWO posts in the last 24 hours, don’t get used to it.
However, I have decided to change Fashion Friday to Foto Friday (a direct steal from my friend Cara who is on an extended blogging hiatas) because frankly, there was too much pressure. The reality is we are lucky to get dressed at all around here, let alone in something that might be considered uber stylish. The goal these days is to get all the stains removed and to keep up with the never-ending laundry pile.
The good news is I still do snap what I consider some post-worthy shots, but I don’t always have time to write a blurb to go with them. Now I can just post them with a headline. That I can do.
So here is the first one, an ode to Grandpa — the King himself — posing with his pretty princesses.
Fashion Friday: Mommy’s Turn
A few weeks ago, this mommy got to celebrate her 31st birthday (gulp!) with another mommy. Granted, I would have liked more than one day with my East Coast girl, but I’ll take what I can get.
The day was spent browsing Chicago boutiques — spending way too much on shoes and laughing like teenagers. We capped that off with a relaxing 5pm massage (yes I used 5pm and relaxing in the same sentence!). But as usual, our nighttime adventure was the most fun. We always have a great time and manage to find just enough trouble to keep the night interesting…but that’s all I’ll say. It was all in good clean mommy fun! 😉
As part of a little tradition we started way back in 8th grade, we posed for photos before our big night out. Here are the few I think Cara wouldn’t kill me for posting. (I hope!) Love you and miss you, girl. 🙂
Fashion Friday: And So It Begins…
We have officially entered Princess mode. I can’t believe we are here, but we are. Emma is obsessed with role playing the Cinderella story. We read at least four princess stories a day. YouTube sing-a-longs are begged for daily. And I must sing a princess song before nap and at night. Whether I know the real words or not. Even at 4am potty breaks, I’m expected to spout out “A Whole New World” before either one of us can head back to sleep. It’s not pretty, people.
And she’s pulling Kendall in as well. Both wear crowns most of the day (Emma gets the silver, jeweled Cinderella crown, while poor Kendall gets the cheap plastic Jasmine crown), and dresses are put on at least two to three times a day. Magic wands are in hand, adorning us all with the “most beautiful gowns I have ever seen.” And glass slippers of course.
We are not, however, being a princess for Halloween. Instead, Emma has decided to be a ballerina. Probably because at this point, dressing up as a princess wouldn’t really classify as a Halloween costume, seeing as it is our normal attire.
Lately, we’ve been also sporting a bit of a princess attitude, which I am REALLY not fond of AT All. Three year old princess tantrums are not fun.
Life as queen certainly isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, but I suppose it’s worth it. Now would someone just tell me where the maids are?!!!
