the "modified cinderella"

why "modified", you ask? because as much as my head is in
the clouds, I do have a practical side and refuse to spend a lot of
money on a dress worn for one day. so, her dress is one she can
wear again...and you should have seen the absolute delight when
I showed up at her school with it...we were going through her
dress up clothes last night and she was showing me things she
could wear. I stopped her and asked, "but, would you like something
new?" and she said, "that's ok, mom. these are good choices."
I honestly lost track of how many times she said thank you.
bless her heart.
this girl is just cupcake frosting.
positively delightful.

Oh my gosh.... this really made me tear up. "That's OK - these are good choices, Mom."

WOW. That's quite a kid you have there. Cupcake frosting, indeed.

You're clearly a wonderful mother if your girls have such a selfless, sweet spirit.... this was wonderful.

And the pictures are PRECIOUS!
(I put some up on my blog of my 2 kids.... this will be son's last year of trick or treating, so I let him pick a VERY scary outfit... but I do have some funny shots.) :-)
