It's a Pink Day

It's a pink day according to the princess. She wished to have a complete pink outfit,certainly possible. She suggested I wear pink as well. I'm not in a pink mood today,I'm thinking something a bit darker,perhaps brown or blue.

The princess had a copy of Scholastic's Parent & Child June/July issue in her backpack the other day. (Sorry no bagel with turkey taste.) I am reading the article about the winners of the mommy blogger awards. I plan to visit each of the winning blogs over the next couple of days.

I read some of the posts from http://themeaneastmom.blogspot.com. She sounds as if she's having just as much fun as I am.

The princess has informed me that the students have taken over the school and run all the adults off. She told me that some first grader that could cook prepared today's lunch of blueberry pie. Guess they ran out of bagels with turkey taste. The things she thinks of,LOL,must be the company she keeps.

plotting & planning

Field day was simply fabulous. Kindergarteners tug of war was nothing short of spectacular. The pink princess was at the end of the rope. I was holding my breath hoping she wouldn't get crushed if the rest of the kids fell back. They did, but she managed to get away.

My pda is going to spontaneously combust. Too many days with things to do...not enough hours in the day to get them done. Between dress rehearsals,the recital and graduation I'm hard pressed to squeeze in a play date or two. Oh and maybe even get some work done.

A girls night out with the mommy mafia would really be a treat; plotting and planning. Got a few surprises up my sleeve for the princess too.Need to get some tickets for the Big Apple Circus, a Mets game and Paul McCartney. Plotting and planning,time to go trolling on eBay.

Raisins for breakfast

Feeling somewhat evil today. 4hrs of sleep just doesn't quite cut it anymore. The princess was up earlier than usual and decided I should be up as well; she is relentless sometimes.A character trait she did not get from me.


I received a message from Wretched Harpie,I'll will share it "National Geographic snippets right at your fingertips...amazing! I'm just now finding out how to navigate this information superhighway. Somebody please tell me which exit to get off!" You can check out but you can never leave.

Checking my list for the princess' field day,aka kindergartners gone wild. Everything looks to be in order.

The princess reads

A very eventful day. Full day of work for me,full day of school for the princess.

Dance school photos. Full costume,hair, make up, accessories and yes, rain. Trying to get the princess ready is always fun, dressing a Ferrel cat might be easier.

Having a Starbucks in lieu of food for lunch kept me going.

While waiting at the BK drive through the princess asked me what the sign "Let us know what you think?" meant. Surprised at first by her inquiry I quickly realized she had just read one of the stickers on the window. I explained the sign, we then continued on our adventure.

The T shirt is not pink,it's yellow

The princess came home today with the shirt for field day. Yellow,not pink but not bad either.

All ready for the recital photos tomorrow afternoon. Costume,accessories,makeup and rain in the forecast.

Will leave you today with some of my profound wisdom: Multi-tasking is highly overrated. I prefer to screw one thing up at a time. ;-)

The princess wears prada,ok not really

The pink princess is well, a princess. She prefers to wear a dress or skirt,preferably pink every day. It's not always practical but try to explain this to her. Those of you that know her understand completely. My little fashionista. Must have been all that Lily Pulitzer and Baby Lulu I put on her. I let her watch some of The Devil Wears Prada. She loves the clothes and Anne Hathaway.

Recital photos with full makeup are this week. The princess still hasn't accepted the fact that the costume is not pink. Field day is next week. Can't wait to see what color the t-shirt is; I suspect it wont be pink.

Wild thing, show tunes and shortbread.

The pink princess is nearing full recital mode. She's practicing the routine (sans taps shoes) when she thinks nobody's looking.

She's also imitating Baby June from Gypsy. Let me entertain you...

Tried a different shortbread recipe tonight. Not as good as the last batch.

She informed me tonight that she does not care to have room with a balcony when we go on our next adventure. Good,she wont be disappointed.
