first of all…
happy, happy birthday
to my sweet sister,
Aunt WW!
(you can check our her little blog here
and her etsy shop here)
we were able to celebrate her birthday early this year
and she was kind enough to let us
have it at our place
rather than go to a restaurant with the children
(because let’s be honest, that is fun for no one).
and seeing that L needs to be in bed by 6:15pm.
she is quite fashionable
and hands down the most fashionable one in our family.
i think we’d all agree with that.
am i right?
yeah, i’m right.
it does help that she would look good wearing a garbage bag
(as i outlined here).
well, to her birthday dinner
she wore a cute yellow dress
and a matching yellow clip in her hair.
apparently, the clip made quite the statement
because my children
(after getting restless that the adults were still talking)
drew pictures of the birthday girl.
and in both of those pictures,
the yellow hair clip made an appearance.
this is when K was really restless.
i think she could smell the cupcakes
that were waiting for us inside.
i can’t wait to see what
God is going to do in her life this year.
it’s going to be good.
for all of His gifts are good.
my sister often comes over for a visit
and in honor of her coming over,
i never do a dish.
not even one.
that’s how you know we’re tight.
if i let you see my dirty dishes.
sometimes i don’t even do the breakfast ones until dinner.
gross, right?
totally gross.
but there are three little people
that need my attention and
unfortunately for the dishes,
they can’t demand my attention.
all of the confessions from Laura’s post from last week
were such a beautiful insight into her life.
go check that housewife out.
picture me {im}perfectly
is a weekly project to reveal that we don’t have it all together.
i will post a
picture me {im}perfectly
blog post every wednesday
where you will be able to link up to your blog
revealing that:
you are not picture perfect,
your kids are not picture perfect,
your house is not picture perfect,
your crafts are not always picture perfect,
let’s
encourage,
inspire and
remind
other women
that none of us have it all together.
and link up to your direct posting
and feel encouraged.
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where moth and rust do not destroy,
and where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:20-21
