My Beautiful Birthday Princess

Here she is with a picture of "mommy" that she made on the art easel she got for her birthday.

 

Four years ago today my little beauty was born. I waited a very long time for this little Princess and boy was she worth the wait. She is everything I was missing in my boys. Boys are crazy balls of testosterone filled fun but, girls really are sugar and spice and everything nice except, for the occasional outburst of defiance but, I chalk that up to living with two older brothers. Of course she feels the need to explode every now and then. What woman doesn't?
 She loves the color pink,dressing up in her Disney Princess shoes, glitter paint, flowers in her hair, pink Barbie or rather she means (Sleeping Beauty), The movie Coraline, Olivia and her Daddy but, most importantly her Mommy. We are two peas in a pod. She really is the nicer, cuter version of me and I LOVE IT! I hope that our blissful love for each other remains and never changes.
 My Princess is 4 years old today and I can't believe it! Seems like just yesterday she was sitting in her Bumbo chair taking her first bite of rice cereal all the while smiling and laughing  because it was a good, fun mess. My baby will always be my baby even though she tells me "I'm not a baby, I'm a big grul". She's the cutest thing ever and she's ALL mine!
 And Daddy if your reading this I'll share but, only at night when she wants to snuggle with you. That's all you get though! I think that's enough considering I did all of the work! I love you babe and Thank You for helping me create this precious gift we call Grace.

 

Halloween 2010

We spent Halloween at my brother-in-laws house this year for their first Halloween party ever!

 I painted faces, the kids ate tons of sweets and had a fun trick-or-treating even though only about 5 houses on a 2 block radius were handing out candy! I know. crazy huh!

I scared my little nephews and they wouldn't come near me till the end of the night when they finally asked me to paint their faces LOL! I told them I'd do it another day when I didn't look so scary.

 Here is my little commando throwing up what appears to be GANG SIGNS! What the heck?! I don't know about this one. He's always keeping me on my toes.

 Here the Mad scientist screams in excitement as he looks at his creation... ME!

 Awww, look at the little cuties. There's Belle, a dead bumble bee and my sweet little Coraline who wouldn't keep her eyes closed long enough for the me to paint buttons on her eyes.

 My little witchy poo niece who's as sweet as can be. She could never be an ugly witch! She specifically asked me to come paint her face for her party. Aww, I love her so much!

 And the big girls who I can't believe got so big all of a sudden. Seems like just yesterday they were dressing up like Disney Princesses and now they're beautiful young ladies.

 It was a fun Halloween but, next year we'll stay a little closer to home since it will be on a school day. The kids really want to pass candy out to trick-or-treaters next year anyway. 

What did you do for Halloween this year?
