Mother's Day Picnic Ball

This week Whitney got to go to "The Ball", aka Prom.
Havah was royally jealous.
She cried and begged.
She promised to use her good manners,
and wear a beautiful dress...
if only she could go to the Ball and meet the prince with Whit!
Alas... she has 13 years until her first Ball.
It's hard to be 3.
So for Mother's day, we had a back yard Picnic Ball.
She and Lilly wore their Sunday best all day.
Danced in the back yard,
and ate Daddy's 'yummy meats', aka barbecue.
It was a lovely evening at the Mother's day Picnic Ball.

Life Lesson- from the Best Buy parking lot

Today while waiting for Cori in the Best Buy parking lot I learned what I believe to be a great life lesson.

If you cuss out your driver, don't be surprised when they leave without you.

10 points to the lady who left her jerk of a husband at the Best Buy tonight.

Photos April 30- May 1

No particular order. Just some pictures from our Friday and Saturday.

I've been learning about maintaining "natural hair". Thank you to all the black women in the world who keep blogs about how they take care of their hair, and their kids. I couldn't do it without you! Seriously. Conditioner and vitamin E/Aloe gel over night, rinsed in the morning... and we still have ringlets after a 4 hour nap.

Tea party fun.

She can climb up and down all by herself (not all the way to the top though)

4pm... time to wake up.


Dip Cone in a cup. Delicious.

What a great family date.

Post nap greeting, "Mom, I wanch you."

Mothers day pictures....she was super excited about it... can you tell?
