You may or may not know that Minnie Mouse has a Bowtique where she sells bows and bow ties too you know? Well our resident Minnie Mouse fan found a Christmas shirt with bows all over it. Except... two things... it' ugly and white.
Now I am well aware of the fact that a girl's got opinions on what she wears. I get that. But since she's two and not say ten, I still hold the overwhelming vote. And my vote is that the shirt is ugly. And since it's white it would inevitably stain on the first wear. So the girl was vetoed. She wasn't super happy with that choice and we spent a great long time walking around the tiny little section and looking at the same three things. We settled for this dress:
Which has printed silver bows on the tutu. I will tell you that I thought this wasn't super cute on the hanger but it was better than the white shirt. Anyway, once she got it on at home though it is a lot cuter than I anticipated. So... okay.
Then on Tuesday M and I went to Walgreens to get C a new toothbrush and we came away with this:
A Minnie Mouse pumpkin. Of course. I am not super big into "tacky" decorations but her birthday is so close to Halloween and it is going to be a Happy Helpers party. (Minnie and Daisy on the Roadster Racers show) So from my perspective it will double as a birthday decoration too. We did also get the tooth brush in case you were worried we got sidetracked.
Yesterday was school picture day for C.
We practiced smiling in the car line so hopefully his picture will turn out. Note his nice shirt which was the whole reason for going to Carter's in the first place. After school he had a playdate with his friend. I dropped him off and M was SO sad that she didn't get to go too. So we went to the grocery store for cake mix and we baked a cake. And she got to decorate it!
I didn't take a picture before we ate some but you'll still get a pretty good idea of what it looked like.
It was just a pile of pink sprinkles that I was able to distribute out a little bit more than the large pile she dumped on the cake. Luckily it was a very tasty cake. My kids don't tend to love cake for whatever reason but they ate the heck out of their piece last night! They do really like red velvet cake we've learned, which works out because I love it too.
I don't think there will be much (if any) adventure today but it has been a fun week with my girl and accomplishing tasks. (With a few splurges just because.)
So my girl is 13 and I still (and especially now) have veto power over what she wears. Luckily though she is fairly modest and has really good taste but there are some things that she likes that I refuse to spend money on. And it's mostly trendy things that I can't stand - like those bomber jackets with big floral prints all over them. She held one up at Target and was like, "OMGeeeeee this is sooooo cute!!!!" And I was like - put that down - that looks like something that Mimi (her GREAT grandmother) would wear!! :) And as for smiles - I think C has a great one. My son on the other hand looks almost in pain in every single school picture. I hope C's turned out great. My boy is doing retakes this year because HE hated his. Not even me. He said his smile looked horrible, his hair looked bad and he had a big zit. Sometimes, boys are worse than girls! :)
