Wedding Bells

Dress-up is one of the loves of any girly-girl... I happen to have a few of those over-the-top-girly-girls and they crack me up daily. I especially love their sophisticated voices as they played this wedding out this afternoon...

Mother to Mother? Woman to Woman? or Husband to Wife? hmmmm...

Lex: Tonight are you going to the royal ball?

Iz: I need this {veil} so I can get married tonight. And we need a pillow for the ring!

Iz: Am I the queen?

Lex: Hey, Mom... can you be our audience too?

Me: {trying to sew... but this is so funny & they're going all out, so I grab a camera & agree}

Lex: Who should I marry, mom? I wish I had a boy {she says under her breath}. Someone has to walk me down the tile {almost... it does rhyme with 'aisle'}

Iz: You can marry me, Lex, and then we'll just kiss on the cheeks, that would be better. Kay, Lex, gotta say, "this ring I thee wed"

Lex: Now you have to give this ring to me!

Iz: Now let me put it on your finger cause that's what you do... wait wait wait {runs in to watch what's going on with Sponge Bob on TV}

Lex: IZZIE!!!

Lex: {unsure of herself} Should I say mother and mother? or husband and wife? {answers it herself- husband and wife}

Iz: Now kiss me on the cheek {points to those yummy cheeks}

Lex: No, let's just hug. We're girls.

Iz: We don't just hug when we're married {duh we kiss too}

Iz: Okay, FINE! bear hugs. Are we done now? {I think Sponge Bob was calling her name}

Lex: Where's the lipstick, mom? I need more.

I think they watch too many princess movies.... It's funny to see what's important to each of them. For Izzie it's all about the fun & moving on, for Lex, it's all about being 'correct' and getting it just right. But they both sure get into character-- 'the walk & talk' included. My fun-loving girls are so much fun! I'm the luckiest mom in the world!

{meanwhile Viviana was upstairs making giant messes & putting together 'pop-bead' jewelry... Yup, another girly-girl}

Don't let the Prop 8 people get a hold of this one (giggle).

They are so precious! I MISS them.
