Frou Frou Gypsy in Combat Boots

here are just a few shots from my DD's 6th birthday blowout. I feel sort of like a slacker this year...like i didn't do much for the party. Shrug. It was nice to be able to sit back and not BE the entertainment though! That cake nearly killed me! never again. I honestly can't believe that she's six! where did all the time go???? Now, a week and a half before school's out. I am excited ...and terrified that the kids are going to make me nuts arguing with each other all summer!

those of you who know me, know that i am a little bit sad that my daughter wants to be a boy. She's five and not girly AT ALL. There are moments though when she blows me away. Not that her wanting to be a boy keeps me from loving her so much it hurts, its just that i'd love it if she'd wear a skirt now and then! or a funky dress! anyway...those moments that blow me away...every night after her daddy puts her to bed, she asks for me. she wants a song, the same one every night, and she wants me to lay with her...just for 5 minutes. She's happy with 5 minutes...that's all! she snuggles up next to me, and usually wants to hold my hand. It is the sweetest thing. She's not a snuggly girl. This is really special time for us. the other thing is that she's taken to using my camera. the little point and shoot, she's knows she's allowed to use it ... Here's evidence that she's been at it again...
