To little time

I am not to good at keeping up with this, I apologize. When I was little I always wanted one of those diaries that had the Princess on the front and that lock with the sweet little key. My mom must have known I wouldn't keep up with it because I never did get one (that along with the pink pony real pony still torments me today. These are one of the many reasons I am saving up for my daughters Counseling bills and not so much college. I figure the whole " no boob ", ie no barbies, no brats, no plastic dolls in general, rule on dolls will come back and haunt me someday.) I am trying to be better about writing everyday, after all this is mainly for my mom, you know the one that nixed the whole pink pony idea. So for last week....My son and DH went on their first campout with Cub Scouts last weekend. Both had a blast declaring that there is nothing better than camping! So glad to hear this because I love camping and have been trying to persuade DH to go since the last time I took him camping 12 years ago at Hunting Beach.
This left the girls and I home alone to see how much trouble we could get into. So a weekend of nail painting, henna tattoos and sewing ensued. It was lovely, but I felt exhausted by the time the boys finally came home. The skirts are from Oliver + S, a wonderful easy tutorial ecspecially if it is your first time sewing clothes. We wanted to do the tattoos for her birthday, but I am glad we waited for " Girl's alone time " as Bella called it.

Is that Daniel Boone by that tent? He sure looks like an explorer.
I love the skirts and tat(I'm in.) I should have it for my butterfly unit.
Excuse me, but I did give you a diary with a key. Who could find it in my gifted child's bedroom?
Love,
Gammi/Mother

Hey mom you can finally break out and get that tattoo you've always wanted! And I don't remember receiving that diary you probably kept it for yourself since I know you to always wanted one!
