schoolwork, babysitting and the costume shop

 morgana was up early this morning to do her schoolwork and practice guitar.

at 11 tsamaret and moriah came over with their new american girl dolls: kaya and . . julie. julie is from the 1970's . . a very ancient time!


they had a picnic with kirsten and samantha . . chanda was not very enthusiastic when tsamaret said to her "you can get your american girl doll out to play with my doll, chanda." growing up . . dolls are no longer very exciting. i'm glad we made the trip to ag place last summer when she still wanted to go.

 at 2 pm we went to janet's to help with the costumes for bye, bye birdie.

to get that '50's look, all the skirts and dresses had to be starched.

so much to do!

  1. As always your place looks like a fun place to be and what do you mean the 70's are ancient?!!!

    So sad your littlest one is truly growing up, not wanting to play with the dolls is a big thing. Mind you Chanda has lasted longer than her British counterparts, some of whom are pushing real live babies in puschairs at her age, so very, very sad.

    Hugs to you San xx

    1. hello san, i do see many young girls trying to grow up so fast. i'm glad chanda has enjoyed her dolls for so long. and i couldn't believe when american girl came out with a '70's doll! i thought they could have given us a little more time . . or maybe do the '60's instead. maybe they felt it was too close to molly in the '50's . . i do enjoy telling the girls about my "elephant" bell bottom "hip hugger" pants that i used to wear . . of course "hip huggers" are really still around . . but those elephant bells are gone . .

  2. Do your girls have a Waldorf doll? All our children (except Flora who still needs a doll) still sleep and travel with their dolls. Jonathan and Charlotte don't really play with them anymore, but get them out for special occasions.

    We received our first costumes today for our ballet recital, but we don't really have to do very much with them, just some minor alterations maybe. Good luck with all your costumes.
