Happily Ever After

The girls put on lovely dresses this evening (given to us by Jim’s Aunt Mary – thank you!), and waltzed around the house pretending to be princesses.  Eventually, Becky twirled over to me and announced:

“I want to go to a bowl.” 

“A what?” I responded, thinking she’d lost her mind.

“I want to go to a bowl,” she repeated emphatically. 

“A bowl?”  And then it hit me. “Oh, you mean a BALL!  You want to go to a ball!” 

So I ushered the girls into the family room, turned on some music (Wee Sing Fun & Folk would have to do), and told them to get a dance partner.  Susie picked a puppy:

And Becky chose a monkey:

I even tried to teach them how to curtsy like princesses, but their attempts looked more like yoga positions:

So even though we may have been lacking the formality of a royal ball, I’d say the evening ended happily ever after!
