Hey Killers!! Been a crazy busy day--church, friends over, then clothes and shoe shopping with the kids.
If I kill someone for abject stupidity, is it still considered murder? And if it is, will you all visit me on death row, bake me a cake with a file in it, and spring me?
Like I said, monjo shopping with the kids. First stop was Payless. They both were in desperate need of new sneakers, and DD needed shoes for Easter and for Nanny & Grandpa's 60th anniversary party the following week. So, we found sneakers X 2 for each of them, and some very nice, white, comfy, dressy shoes for DD for $10. I told her she needed them for Easter and the party, we talked about how they would look with her dress (the ONLY one she owns, BTW...). Fine. Well, fast forward to tonite, DEx stops by to drop off DD's purse that she left at his house yesterday. I tell him "we got shoes'. He says, "I got her shoes!" So I send her to get the ones I bought, and I look at what he bought and laugh, and say "she wouldn't be caught dead in these!" (they are REALLY ugly! Gold metallic, with a wedge heel, sort of like ballet flats with a heel, in sort of a mesh looking leatherette. UGH!) And DEx says "she picked these out!" WHAT?!?!?! First of all, I'm stunned because she has a fit if there is ANY heel when I pick a shoe for her. But, helllllooooo? We went shopping today, ONE DAY after he bought these shoes WITH her. We talked about WHY we were getting the shoes. Did she, at ANY time, mention that "oh, mom, I don't need new shoes--Daddy bought me some yesterday"??? NO!!!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
Anyway, the rest of our shopping was quite successful. I got some great clothes for DD--obviously for a girl, but casual enough that she doesn't feel "fancy" (which, being a total tomboy, she hates). Lots of pinks and other bright colors. Her skinny little butt (size ONE!!!) looks so cute in basically anything she puts on. I got her 2 "grownup" bathing suits (she's a full B cup, so the girls' sizes just don't cut it anymore.) One bikini, and one tankini, which she will wear Thursday when she goes swimming with the church youth group (they invited the middle school kids to come--all 3 of them!) And I found jeans and khakis for DS--no small feat, since he's an 8 slim and that size is impossible to find. Thank God for
WalMart!!!
This weekend has gone by so fast, I can't believe tomorrow is Monday already!
You know I'm looking for wedding ideas, no not for me
. My, DH's DN is getting married in May. Her parents moved to FL, but she grew up around here and is getting married at the church just a few blocks from us. Anyway when she was here a couple of Thanksgiving's ago ( we had only moved in a few months prior) her and BF came over. She kept saying how she loved the house and it reminded her of the one she grew up in, Old houses do have charm when they're not cold
. When I heard she would be getting married around here, I thought she may like to get ready here and have her b/f the church pic's taken here w/ her parents. I offered recently when her DM was up for the shower. Seems she love the idea and to my surprise things have changed since I got married. The bridesmaid (all 7) do hair and make up here??? In my day they came to your house ready, okay they may put the dresses on at your house and 'freshin' up their make up. Anyway it's fine and I don't mind my SIL even gave me a thanks and if you want to back out it's okay , that's alot of girls getting ready. I'm excited actually and have been looking at things to make the house 'bridal' day ready. So any suggestions, throw em out there Killers. I did see a great lighted trellis at Micheal's that would look great at the bottom of my steps outside. Then I would line the walkway w/terra cotta pots w/magnolia leaves and candles in the center covered w/hurricane glass. Hopefully my hydrandrea's will still be in bloom they are hedges going down the side and when in full bloom look like a snowy mountain.
Okay, sorry to go on and on, just needed to give you guys the backround and where I'm going w/this.
Ooooh, that sounds so pretty! I think you should go with it just the way you said it! And of course, we will need pictures...
Patio's, left a beautiful one behind that was only one year old when we moved
. Ahh, you will have great summer evenings on it
.
We have a patio that never got much use, since it gets full, constant sun and gets VERY hot. We had an awning, but it didn't do much good. Well, last fall we put on a covered, open porch. What a difference!!! Now we have shade, a nice area to sit outside. I cannot wait for spring and the chance to try it out!
Well, we went to the bridal show today. It was alot smaller than I thought it would be. Stepmom did make a few appointments for cake testing so that is out of the way now. The host for the prize give aways was horrible. He kept trying to be funny but fell very short of that goal. One of the highlights of the day was the men's formal wear show. They called up 4 mother's of the bride and handed each of them a piece of a tux. They then called out one of the models who came out only dresses in a towel. The moms then had to dress the very good looking model. Let's just say there were some very happy moms after that.
By the end of the day, we ended up sitting in one of those limo bus things watching the race on their big screen tv. A perfect end to the day.
OMG that sounds hysterical! This is gonna be one interesting wedding!
.
. DB, must have done a very good job, and you completely lost me
glad you stopped by. It makes perfect sense, I even understand it
, guess your busy, dreamin how was that bridal show?? Bopsmom, haven't heard from you since you posted "nevermind" , did you guys break into DH's wine cellar???
Been checking to see if my tulips are coming up yet...but no such luck. I hope they make it this year. Just planted them last fall. 
, That's how I ended up w/ 2 broken feet, but on the plus thats how I found you killers
.
, just seems she is on the hunt for the perfect cake, but what about the rest of the wedding. Is she all squared away??? Are we on w/ the beach theme
