mommy dearest

Aren't these precious? I love them...and if I were really rich and fancy I'd buy them for Elyott and force her to wear them and probably threaten her with wire hangers if I ever found them on the floor, and then she'd be all "I love you mommy dearest" but i'd just keep shaking Comet cleaner all over the room. Lucky for her she is not as into dress up as she used to be, and I'm not rich or fancy....or Joan Crawford. They can be found here ...but don't act all like you're going to buy them cause they're like $200 {each!}.  Just for looks, and creepy fantasies...

sayRED.

Success! However the 10 minutes I had to get ready, with my dirty hat hair, resulted in me looking disturbingly like a giant baby!

I have a little love/hate with party planning...meaning I dread every minute until the actual day of setup (when adrenaline finally takes over). But of all mothers, there are few as deserving as Steph, due to the countless hours she's logged putting on parties for everyone else (she is the master of all party planners). 

Shout outs to Summer and Bert for being such willing helpers, and of course my sister Lisa who Co-planned and cleaned everything! {with her 3 monkeys in tow....making her the hero of the day in my book}  

Steph is going to make an amazing mommy....one that my kids already covet as their own in fact! And hooray for new babies that i don't have to give birth to...can't wait to meet you baby!!!

Well, actually you weren't...but some people who know Steph were. So i've been busy getting things ready.  Yes, my big seester {no pun intended} has finally jumped on the "baby train" and I am in delicate charge of her getting stuff for it (by way of baby shower ;)  All at the mercy of changing hormones and food cravings, doing my best to satisfy this beautiful guest of honor (and her mystery gendered baby):

I will post pictures as soon as i get a chance...have a beautiful weekend!

on second thought...

This post really only means something if you know this family ...but for everyone else, enjoy the uncanny resemblance of my nephew to my generations high school heartthrob and a character by my favorite SNL star.

*He might shoot you in the foot...but at least he'll be dreeeamy.
