"I know you..."

Did you see last Sunday's post? If so than you know Samster is a bit of a Sleeping Beauty fan.
(for those who couldn't tell what she was saying weren't familiar with the song, it's what Aurora sings in Sleeping Beauty)

Well, this past week her little brain exploded.

Her 1st real live princess, I don't know who was more excited, she or I, (her or me? oh poopoo on you grammar) but IT WAS AWESOME. And Aurora was sooo sweet. She walked Sam away from the line & knelt down next to her. The two of them had private princess chat. I can only imagine what they discussed, I'm assuming they kept it light. One thing princesses & 2 yr olds have in common is neither cares to discuss politics, finance or religion.

I do know that at some point Aurora asked Sam about her dress, to which she said "my mommy made it". Just about brought tears to my eyes. Ok, it totally did but cut me some slack, I was sleep deprived after staying up all night before our morning flight finishing that thing. Totally worth it though. Totally.

I'll have more pics of her DIY Cinderella dress & tell you what tutorials I used to do it tomorrow, for now I'm going to check off no.1 on my list below.

1. Get some sleep
2. Replace the fish tank motor before it gives out & I commit involuntary goldfishslaughter
3. Paint the entryway table blue

You??
also if you have a blog be sure it's either linked to your profile or leave it in the comment, I love to click on your comments & then go snooping to put a face with the name (:

    super cute! We live in Orlando so we go to Disney all the time but my lil one has always been afraid of the characters (even the real people) until we got randomly selected to have a private visit with Cinderella - she loved it!! So sweet! She also loved watching Sam singing on your video!

    I just wanted to comment since I'm actually reading on a computer for a change instead of my phone (usually while nursing!) I love seeing what you're up to and am inspired by you to do more. My daughter just turned three (total princess!) and my son is five months now. He eats every 2.5-3 hours and I think is finally over a painful gassy phase.

    Anyway, on my to do list, (also about to check off number 1)

    1. sleep
    2. get gardening
    3. get one serving of milk stored in the freezer!

    Keep doing what you do!

    My to dos this week?
    Swim a lot
    Don't miss the hubs too much
    Eat at least 8 cupcakes

    I started to tear up when I read "My mommy made it". So sweet. I was never really into princesses and such, so if my daughter is, I'll have to write you for some advice.

    I don't know all of the detail behind A's dislike of Sleeping Beauty, but I found out tonight while discussing said controversy that she's one of my husband's favorites because he remembers seeing the movie as a kid and thinking that the prince was pretty freakin' awesome for slaying the dragon. And just hearing him remember that was enough to make me teary-eyed about Aurora. That and she was also fantastic to K when we met her in September. I was all set to dislike the characters in real life... and then they're so sweet to the kids! Hail to the princess!

    Awwww. That's actually really cute. Love the dress comment. So let me tell you, we bought tropical fish and forgot to salinate (is that a word? put proper salt), their water. they all died like BOOM, BOOM, BOOM. One after the other. Since then we bought goldfish and Le Chef is like crazy about taking care of them (two little fish). He's all screaming through the house, "Did the fish get lunch?!?". Seriously, every day he's scared about their meal time. I'm like, "did mom get lunch? NO. Did mom get sleep? Double no".

    WTF? Goldfish. I thought it would be easy.

    This is such a gorgeous picture! My plan for the week is to work on my photography so that when my daughter is old enough to take to Disney I can take great pictures like this. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
