Pretty princesses

Considering our friendship started way back when on the theatre stage, and our big dream was to become world famous actresses and earn enough money to build a better theatre, which of course would be named in our honor, at the high school where our talents were launched...


Should Geralyn and I really be surprised that our off-spring already seem to exhibit a certain flair for the dramatic?

Saturday night turned into an impromptu play date/party at our house when Geralyn and Paul stopped by to return my crock pots (used the previous night for Paul's surprise birthday party.) And once again I was left wishing we didn't live two and a half hours apart. Sydney and Lily have so much fun together. As the boys (the big guys as well as Joe and AJ) battled it out with Nerf guns, Sydney and Lily alternated between trying to keep up with their brothers, and being the ultimate girlie-girls.

Sydney's play kitchen was humming, churning out pizza and cookies and all sorts of other pretend treats. Until Lily spotted the princess costumes. Suddenly the girls simply had to be transformed into Tinkerbell and Sleeping Beauty. And off they flounced to show the boys.

Geralyn and I have always enjoyed what I consider a low-maintenance friendship. We can go months without talking, but once we do, it's like no time has passed at all. Considering it's been six months since the last time the kids got together, I'm thrilled to see how quickly they warm to each other as well.
