friday night and time to party . . .

friday night partying takes on a whole new meaning when you have 4 little ones!

it all started when the girls' (and boy's) big 12 yr old cousin came over to see if we might have a white little cardigan she could fit in to wear over her fancy dress. she was about to go to a friend's party and was dressed up in the cutest little chiffon-y dress and silver flats. as soon as shrimp saw her dressed up she was begging to go to fancy party!

well . . . as i'm sure you can imagine there isn't much time for fancy parties in these neck of the woods! so what do 3 little girls with the biggest imaginations do . . .

they raid mom's closet and their dress up trunk . . . and create a fancy party of their own!

in case you wondering if it's all about saying cheese, crafts, and sewing around here. . . it's not! this picture is about as real as it gets . . . little miss with her finger in her nose every waking minute. shrimp dying to put makeup on. and brown eyes crying or screaming about anything and everything.

those moment never seen to last too long . . . and then they are back to being best friends again and fixing each other up for the big party!

this is really a funny picture . . . it looks as if i sat them down and said say, "cheese!" but i didn't . . . really! they are on the "bus" headed to their fancy party. as i'm taking this picture i'm singing the wheels on the bus . . . in the silliest/craziest voice and they aren't sure whether to laugh or run off . . .and little man is thinking his mama has totally gone off the deep in!

after little man made his get-away from the crazy mama . . . the girls made it to the bus stop and headed to the party!

well almost all of them headed to the party!
