Impromptu Silliness

I was preparing to snap a couple pictures for my neighbor for her Join the Journey entry that she and her son wrote, but while I waited on them to come over, I took advantage of the pretty light and photographed my 3 favorite subjects again.

Pictures from the royal gala

Things really went well, except for one little girl missing out on the pinata. I really should have gone out there and organized our dragon slaying a little more. As it was, he was half dead by the time I made it outside, and poor "B" missed out on all the fun cause she was in the little princess's room. Otherwise, everything went relatively smoothly. Only the dragon was slayed, no other injuries to knights, princesses, or parent by-standers. The cake looked pretty good considering it was home made, and transitions between activities went smoothly. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!

A little lopsided, but very yummy. ;)

Ever wonder what girls would do if they ever waiting on boys? Why primp and twirl of course.

Happy birthday to Lianna!

Mmmmm... strawberry cake and ice cream.

Thanks "E" , I love Barbies!

Oooh, what could it be?
Look Mommy! Whitley got me a pink sleeping bag!

Fun was had by all. I'm exhausted, but already starting to think about January when Brooks turns three... hmmmm airplanes maybe?

Party Preparations...

So Saturday is the big day. The Thornton home will be transformed into a castle and filled with lots of princesses and knights. D and I have been busy making swords and shields for the event. I'm going to attempt my first castle cake and hope it looks something like this and this put together. I'll do my best to put someone in charge of a camera so parts of the day will be recorded. Wish me luck, oh and pray only the dragon is slayed, and no princesses. ;)

Bed Buddies

If you'll remember back a couple weeks ago, I posted about the trouble I was having with Brooks climbing into bed with his baby brother. Click here for a review. Well last night I was in the shower when D popped in and said Brooks was asleep in Canaan's bed. Nothing out of the ordinary... until he started to describe to me how they were laying. He said, "imagine them laying on their backs, bottoms together with their feet intertwined." My first thought, "You HAVE to get the camera!" (I'm sopping wet with shaving cream on my legs or I would have done it) So when I finally dry off he's laying in the bed camera in hand. When he turns it around for me to see... well, here's the image. Isn't this just the sweetest thing ever?!?
