Today...

we had a princess party all up in here.

Behold the transformation, from a normal home

 

into a pinkalicious princess dwelling place.

                                       

(These are gems hot glued onto a streamer to decorate our stair railing) (Very royal)

We made bracelets.  Painted nails.  Got letters from Disney princesses..danced, and went on a real treasure hunt.

How lucky am I to have a man who is down with helping out at a princess party?  He was so great.

Here are the princesses finally finding their treasure.

They had such a great time.

You've gotta love the aftermath of a good party.

Everything pink went in the trash.

And this guy plopped down on the couch, exhausted from pretending he was excited about girly things.  

Looked like a good idea, so I jumped on top of him and we laid there for 5 peaceful minutes watching soccer...before 

THIS little girl skipped into the living room and said.

"Hey mom,wanna-do-a fitness test outside with me on the tennis courts?"

She had me jumping and running in my skirt and flip flops.  It was ridiculous. 

Prince Charming slept through almost the entire party, and then for an hour afterward. Here are a couple quick videos of his new skills.

The first one is to prove that he can do it.

The second one is to remind us all that when we fall down, we've just gotta pick ourselves up.  Again and again and again. 

(and that your kids really shouldn't be standing 3 inches from the tv screen when they're playing video games.)
