Hide and Seek

Hi there. On the left is my favorite school pic of my youngest daughter. Isn't she wonderful? I scanned it for her tonight so she could e mail it to her friends, because I said she looked just like Dakota Fanning (on the right) at her age. Of course, my baby is much more wonderful and sparkling.

I miss my babies AS babies. I'm not saying I don't love the delightful people they are now, but I do miss the little ones they were. Kids don't get that - for them, their lives are one continuous line and they barely remember being that age - they assume they have always been exactly who they are now. But for me, they were also other people. I miss the un-self conscious babies and little kids that they were.

The girls and I went to see 'Hide and Seek' today. Terrific film, mostly because of Fanning. Cop out last couple of minutes, would have ended better two minutes earlier, but oh well.

Then we went to the bead store and bought some stuff to make earrings. I'm currently big into making earrings. If I had any talent as a photographer (and had someone to take the pictures), I'd show you. I so love bling.

After that, we went to Target where they bought girl stuff and I picked up the Predator vs. Alien DVD for the boy. Not my cup of tea but HUGE BIG DEAL for him. I gave it to him, a halo of light surrounded him and angels in heaven began to sing my praises.

And, since we aren't on the subject, my husband and I shared a lip lock today that made me remember when we still had hormones. Whew.
