the easter dress

last friday, princess and i headed up to the city to do some dress shopping. i had looked all over town and couldn't find anything in her size. we must have tried on 10 dresses before agreeing on one. i decided that next year i will once again go alone.

fast forward a week...

we have church pictures tonight so i started picking out clothes to wear. realizing that princess's collection is pretty much limited to pink i dug out her box of spring clothes looking for inspiration. she found me and squealed with delight at the treasures in the box. one by one i pulled out some dresses sent to me by my cousin last fall. princess tried each one on with great enthusiasm. when we found a cute blue one with 3 bunny faces on the bottom she told me that is what she wanted to wear for easter!

well....um...okay? so....princess is greatly excited to be wearing her hand-me-down easter dress. and i thought i was doing something special by actually buying her a new dress for easter. thankfully, the tags are still on the dress so i will eventually make the return.
and next year, i'll dig through the hand-me-downs first:)

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
