Dear Princess P.

 

DSCN2645 

I am sorry that coming to my house scared you. I think you are brave to still want to come and play with me. I will put those naughty boys outside, and  we can color or watch a movie.

DSCN2661

I  am glad you found a safe place.

DSCN2644

I promise Grandpa Clark and Little Mays will not hurt you. They want to be your friend too.

DSCN2660

Puppies are silly.

Love,

Your BFF

What – A - MOOSE

DSCN0727 (2)

So I’ve informed you what the hooligans have done all summer. With school starting this week I have begun asking myself

What have you done this summer? You need to say it like this – What HAVE you Done ALL Summer?

DSCN0720

It’s a puzzler?

DSCN0741

He’s done a little of that.

DSCN1745

I’ve taught a little of this.

DSCN0008

HIPPA rules against mentioning this. WAY too much of this.

DSCN2037

Haven’t seen enough of you (my friends).

Sky (my bike) and I rode to work together and we’ve bonded.

DSCN2554

Saw the TWINS for a minute and a half.

DSCN2558

These sisters tried to pawn the Twins off on me.

They tried to convince me they had no IDEA who the TWINS were. All innocence - aren’t they?

DSCN2097

And…… I’ve spent my peaceful Sundays with them.

Oh I can’t forget him.

DSCN2080

and the darling mini princess.

DSCN2074

Making my happy summer complete.

The Princesses'.

 

Bath2

Princess #1

I am sure you have heard me complain all summer about my tourist princesses'.

DSCI0160

Princess #3

All over the world – all summer long.

England 2009 022

Princess #2

They not once ever felt bad for me, I mean us – those they left at home. 

ofcourse

My head is spinning.

DSCI0310

My sleep has been severely affected, and you all know how I need my sleep.

England 2009 070

All these coming’s and goings, goings and comings.

Can you make it stop? Please make it stop.

I officially have lost control, or maybe I just realized I have lost control. Because if I am being honest it happened about the time this princess was ten, and went on her first vacation without us. She realized there is a great big world out there for her to explore.

I did not realize the sending her to the grand vacation destination of Snowflake, Arizona to see Papa and Granny would have this effect. I really regret letting her out of my sight because she has influenced the other princesses' for the worst.

DSCI0223  

Here is my worst offender – I can’t even talk about where she went yet. The worst part is she paid for it all herself, and left me home to suffer.

England 2009 030

Princess #2 she goes abroad and takes fantastic photos like this. She knows that I am drooling, and all she does is come home and move out. Do they not realize what they are doing to me, I mean us, US.

Oh, it is dangerous to live vicariously through your children. Especially when you have raised them to be princesses'.
