Boo-hoo-hoo...

Every year I dream of Darling Daughter begging to be a Princess... Every year she wants to be something like a Vampire Bat

(oh, those eyebrows KILL ME!)

or a Pirate...

Yes, that is a glittered eye patch- duh!!

Thankfully she does let me glam it up a bit with PINK and GLITTER!!  I'll get some pictures later today at the school party!

I shouldn't complain TOO much... I did get ONE Princess out of her when she was 3!

Oh my gosh, I know she's my own child, but is she stinkin' ADORABLE or what????  Eeek, I miss those days!

(My mom made the outfit, I bought the fabric & pattern because I THINK I can sew...I can't!).

I think everyone's seen this picture by now, but it was our muse for the pumpkin we did for Darlings school.

I'll get pictures with my "little" camera today.  I took pictures with BIG MAMA 

and still don't know how to make them smaller so they don't take 9 years to download...

Ok, I've got a few loose ends to tie up before I head over to Darlings party (shocking, I know!).  I'm still sick, I really hope I have a lot of downtime this weekend so I'm ready to go next week!!

WASH YOUR HANDS and have a GREAT Halloweenie!

i vant to drink your blood....

It's almost that time again when i have to come up with a super cute Halloween outfit for my 1 & only... 1 & only DAUGHTER. Easy right? I mean surely she wants to be a Princess or a kitty cat.... maybe a cupcake, a fairy, or super girl? Nope, not this girl of mine, she wants to be a Vampire Bat... Really? Yes Mom, really! 1st she wanted to be a ghost... Now i know i've mentioned before how serious/non-glitzy she tends to be & boy oh boy, does this show up whenever we can do something way outside the box. Outside the box is NOT her favorite place to be. A ghost? A white sheet with some eyes cut out?! You know this almost broke my artistic heart, but it's HER Halloween & her choice on an outfit, so i say "that's fine". Immediately i start thinking of ways we can cute-ify a ghost... tulle, glitter.... hmmmm, maybe it won't be that bad. Then, just as i start moving on this idea she wants to be a Panda! Oh a Panda, now that i can do!!! I've got the outfit planned in my head immediately & then i sneeze & it's gone.... her desire to be a Panda that is.

Now she wants to be a Vampire Bat & she's firm on this one... Of course, that's fine by me. I don't want to crush any creative ideas my little accountant does have!

i have some cute ideas & now it's time for me to pretend i can sew & get busy! So if you've never seen a darling 6 year old Chinese girl Vampire Bat- stay tuned!

My darling is home sick today, so i've got to run & bleach the whole house down!

WASH YOUR HANDS & don't touch your face! Also: don't flush with the lid up (don't even get me started.....), don't leave your toothbrush on the counter & use bleach/hot water when you wash your undies. Thank goodness i don't have that red thing on the end of a flashlight like they do on CSI! I'd have to live in a plastic bubble!
