Pretty in Pink

Belle went to a birthday party this past Saturday night and when we showed up at the house to drop her off, this SUV limo thing was sitting outside the birthday girl's house.

 

 

Part of me was like, " WTF?  Seriously?  For a ten year old's birthday party?  This is what we do around here?"

And then another part of me was like "Oh my God, that is too cool!" 

I thought about how amazing these little girls must have thought this was.  Riding around the neighborhood having fun kid drinks in the back of this freaking pink preposterous gigantic limo.

They went to a restaurant and then down to the beach to take some fun pictures of everyone at the party and Belle said it was an absolute blast. 

This was either genius or totally over the top, I can't seem to figure it out.

What do you think?

 

Saturday Night

It was a long day of sporting events yesterday, coupled with overbearing, over-involved parents and copious amounts of politics.  When we got home, this was the first thing on our to do list.  

Even before I unpacked the bags...

And this, plus some good friends enjoying this with us, turned things around.

Funny how alcohol sometimes has a way of doing that.

 

Sisters

In the almost three years that I have been writing here at heyMamas, I don't think I have ever posted a full on frontal shot of my girls. 

I came across these photos the other day when I was scrolling through the two hundred pages of Flickr photos that I have, and asked Drew if I could post them.

He of course, said no, but that exchange got interrupted and we didn't get to finish discussing it, so I went ahead and posted them so I could check blogging off the list of things that I had to do tonight.  I am not sure how long he will let me keep them up, but they are here now. 

These photos are about three years old and my girls look about forty compared to what they looked like here, but this little collage encapsulates their relationship perfectly.

 

 

Snow/Sleet/Rain/Seriously?

This is what we are getting in New York City tomorrow... 

 

 

And this is what I need...

 

Can you say Seasonal Affect Disorder?

Fancy

This is how my girls showed up to dinner tonight...

{And then the posing that went on as they made their way over to the table...OMG, dramatic!}
