Well, I can't even believe how behind I am on the blog....... lots and lots of things to post. For now, let's focus on the major event in our life that took place on Saturday. I am no longer the parent of a ten year old- she turned eleven this weekend. We celebrated in true "pre-teen" style. We started with a sleepover on Friday night. Here are some of the girls starting on a craft project- decoupage picture frames.
This post isn't supposed to be about me at all but did you see my pretty new chandelier in the above picture? Pretty, huh? I like it. Alot. This next picture is one of the tiny, personalized mini cakes I made for her majesty's guests. It was her idea. She is obsessed with Ace of Cakes. What can I say? I am a sucker for birthdays. Thank God she didn't ask for a castle or something.
Now on to the beautification process. That's chocolate face mask she's spreading on. Here's what I will tell you about chocolate face mask........do.....not.......do.....it. That's all. I spent more than an hour walking back and forth between the bathroom and the table scrubbing, wiping, cleaning and picking up that cotton-pickin' face mask. Do NOT do it. Ever.
After face mask we did nails. This made Daddy pretty nervous on the new floors. I was so damn tired from cleaning the face mask that I really didn't care if they painted the walls with the nail polish as long as they didn't touch that darn face mask anymore.
This is Caroline and her best friend Morgan. Morgan is a nail painter extraordinaire. Everyone wanted Morgan to paint their nails.
Now we're at breakfast the next morn. It was Caroline's actual birthday and on birthday's we have birthday pancakes. The girls got up around 9:15 after getting to sleep sometime around 4:00 A.M. Saturday morning I felt a whole lot older than I actually am.
She wanted us to sing again and she decided to direct.
And now she's showing off while we are making tote bags before taking the girlies home. I think she had a blast. I think I remember why I never have liked sleepovers very much. I think I need to remember she'll only be eleven this year. I think the person who made up chocolate face mask ought to be shot.
There was more celebrating to be done- I'll continue in the next day or two

what, no bra freezing? no lighter than feather, stiff as a board? no playing bloody mary in the bathroom? no? then, sounds like my kind of sleepover!
p.s. LOVE the chandelier!
Wow! Looks like fun. Are we too old to have one of those? We would have to set rules for our slumber party like no shaving cream on the face while asleep. The food looked fabulous. Your parties are always good! After seeing the pictures I am dying to see the house, it looks really good!
