My Best Friend's Wedding

I'm thirty-five with two kids and I finally get to be a bridesmaid. I'm not going to say a bridesmatron because that just doesn't sound right, it's not my fault she waited until I was old and married to go and get herself married up. I am planning a scrumptious bridal shower at the beautiful Tower Hill Botanic Garden. This little job is proving to be quite exciting. I loved seeing Bridesmaids last week and I'm dying to get a big heart shaped cookie with her and her fiances names on it and rolling around on the ground kicking it. My best friend is a meticulous perfectionist and I'm a home ec flunky. With the help of all the other bridesmaids we should be able to get something lovely accomplished.

Lyra finishes up her first year at preschool the end of this month. She has been doing a fabulous job on her hair lately. She doesn't like to brush it, but she will pull it back into a pony tail and add purple and pink hair extensions. I always enjoyed expressing myself through my hairstyles and I'm glad she's carrying on that tradition. Manic Panic purple wouldn't fit in with my current mommy set. That would look more like a Manic Panic Melt Down at my age. But it looks good on my 4 year old. Also we've been singing the songs that she performed for Family Night at home lately and she is doing a great job teaching the whole family these really cute songs. I'm proud of my beautiful little girl who is starting to grow up in front of my eyes.
