Judy loves it. Such a quick project and she's totally in love with it. Enjoyed the fireworks and a great Texas Ranger baseball game last night. My oldest daughter drove in from Arkansas yesterday so we took her son to the game with us. She stayed home with her two daughters and another granddaughter. The two year old falls asleep and she decides to take the two older ones out in the backyard to watch the fireworks. They enjoy the fireworks and when it's all over go to go back in the house and one of the girls had turned the lock and they were locked out. So she is outside in her pj's with two little girls in thier pj's (no bra- and for Nicole that is a big.... problem)and her baby in the house asleep. She goes to all the neighbors houses and can't find anyone at home because it's July 4th. Finally finds a man down the street and uses his phone to call everyone at the Rangers game. Of course it's loud and no one can hear thier phones. She calls 911 and a very nice police officer comes out and tries to get in the house. I lock everything and nothing is unlocked. So he says sorry I can stay here with you until someone comes home or I can kick the door in for you. So she tells him not to kick the door in because her Dad is a cheapskate then Hailey says I gotta go poop and Ella says Mommy I really gotta go pee-pee. So Nicole has the policeman break the door in so the girls can go potty. He was so nice he told her to shove the couch in front of the door until her Dad could fix it and said he would check the alley every twenty minutes until the morning to make sure they would be safe. Which in our city is real funny because nothing ever happens here. How sweet is that. So alls well that ends well - a few nails and some paint and everything will be fine. Is she a mess or what. So hope you all had a happy July 4th. Love my country.
PS- If you think Judy was blond last week she was. One of her best friends is a wonderful hairdresser and she is always doing Judy's hair for her.
Beautiful dress on a beautiful girl. This story reminds me of when my oldest DD babysat for 2 little girls. The 5 year old got mad at my DD because she wouldn't let her ride her Barbie car in the road. So, she ran in her bedroom and locked the door. It was a drama, but all turned out ok.
ReplyDeleteWhat a story! Now, there's one to write down for the future! The dress is adorable on your TINY little daughter!
ReplyDeleteJudy looks fabulous! Great job! It sure sounds like your oldest daughter had an "exciting" July 4 - glad it turned out all right. The police officer was incredibly nice.
ReplyDeleteFabulous dress and the red belt sets it off.

Love the dress, and what a funny story!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I read LindsayT's blog comments and you were asking for some of the large sheets of the old fashioned waxed tracing paper. You can buy it for just a couple of dollars a sheet from Greenberg and Hammer. It's on their website listed as "professional tracing paper" and there is no picture of it. It comes in yellow, blue (which is almost black) red and white. Since their online "buy" button has been out of service since the beginning of time, just call them and they'll get an order out to you ASAP. I buy it from there, and their service is great.
Your daughter and the dress are beautiful. Great job! Definitely worth the effort to make it instead of buying a dress that doesn't fit well. Wish I were 5'10 and a size 4. Cute July 4th story. I'll bet your granddaughters will remember it and embarrass their mom with "remember when you....
ReplyDeleteThat maxi dress looks totally amazing on Judy. I seriously think Judy should model for some magazines.
