Say yes to the dress, communion...My First Communion Dress

How times and styles have changed. Grandma still had this in the attic. I had the princess try it on but to her disappointment it's just a bit too snug on her. She promised not to complain if I allow her to use it. I suppose I can take it to my dressmaker tomorrow for a professional opinion.

Say Yes to the Dress First Communion edition...extreme dress shopping

Starting to look for a dress for the princess' First Holy Communion. She of course will expect the perfect dress, what girl wouldn't. I should never have allowed her to watch the communion episode of My Big Fat Gypsy wedding. She even suggested asking her cousin, an aspiring fashion desginer to create a dress for her. Nice idea however he's busy living the life of a HS senior.

I've been looking online to get some ideas. As you might well imagine there are price points ranging from reasonable to extremely outrageous. Now if I could only get her to stand still long enough to get a good measurement I could probably shop alone. I'm not the most patient when it comes to shopping with her. Hey, she's a squirmy kid. There have been a few shopping adventures gone awry and I really don't want to add another to the list. Wish me luck

The Runaway Christmas Tree

While driving yesterday, a Christmas tree blew in front of my car. My choice, hit a parked car and a pole or take out the tree. The tree lost clipped the tip end of it; now there is a scrape along the drivers side rear. It should come out.

The princess and I just laughed it off however the captain is not at all amused.

Bed Invasion and Sleep Laughing

The princess has mastered the art of invading our bed, most nights with out me noticing. Last night however was somewhat different. Both the captain and I were awoken by her laughing heartily. You see she was sleep laughing. After a few minutes the laughing ceased and she was once again sleeping quietly. At breakfast I asked if she recalled having a funny dream, then explained the sleep laughing. She had no recollection of it, never does when she sleep walks.

Happy New Year

Hoping you all have a happy, healthy and successful New Year. Keep reading to see what kind of mischeif we'll get into next.
