01/24/2004 Archived Entry: "party!"

Today I took Tabitha to a birthday party. The theme was princess and there was a cool crown for the kids to decorate with "jewels" and feathers. Of course, the minute we got home, Bella took the crown straight into her mouth because she loves feathers, lol. Anyway, I had told Tabitha ahead of time that this was a party, not a playdate and there was to be no running and screaming. Usually when Tabitha and G get together for a playdate, they dress up and there is a lot of screaming and running around everywhere, so I really wanted to be sure that Tabi understood that was not to happen this time. Even without being allowed to go wild Tabitha had a good time. I was proud of her when we left though. Usually when I tell her it's time to go (and this would be leaving anywhere) she whines just a bit about wanting to stay. This time she just said good-bye and happy birthday to the birthday girl and off we went. It was a nice change :)

After the party, we went straight to my mom's house because my sister needed me to do her hair and make-up for her winter formal tonight. I couldn't get the hair quite right because her hair is hard to curl, but I am pleased with the overall look. Her make-up, on the other hand, I thought looked gorgeous! She has darker skin than I and her eyes are shaped differently so the dark eyeshadow just looked great on her, rather exotic. I didnt' put too much on her, because she is not someone who ever wears make-up and I wanted her to still look like herself. Just eyeshadow, mascara and lipstick. And of course, glitter! Can't go out without glitter, lol. I did not get to see her in her dress though so I'll have to wait until she gets her pics back.
