At the end of a day like today, all you can do is get down on the floor and boogie out a bit of playtime with your little loves.
Penelope and I are teaching a very exclusive ballet class.
We said our good nights and thought we were also headed to lay our heads down.
When we thought it would be way more fun to play photography studio.

No longer the socks, but now the ballet slippers and they are not even hers, they are the dolls. Goodness me, she is a little fickle thing. Kinda like someone else I know ;)

Next photo was photographed by Coral
I really hope that we are not posing with dolls in all of the family photos to come. But, we did have a blast tonight. It has been a long time since I have sat down and really played with the kids. Zari really wanted to skip dinner and play!!! Lillitha and her were having a grand time dressing the dolls with Coral earlier. After I scarfed down a bit of dinner, I followed her little waddling bottom up the stairs thinking of everything I needed to be doing to stay on track. I sorta begrudgingly grabbed a doll and started rummaging through the doll clothes to put together one rockin' outfit. At this point I was willing to do anything to keep her from crying. It is so sad when your little kids do not feel well. Lilltha made it upstairs a few minutes later and the party was in full force. Man, I forgot how good it feels to get down and play freely with my kids. I forgot how much we could laugh and hopefully cherish these memories. In those few minutes before Lillitha arrived I was fondly remembering playing with these very dolls with Coral when she was a wee one. Although she is not so wee anymore she joined in our fun spontaneously encouraging us to take our doll play to a whole new level. She helped to photo document it all and encouraged Nishan to come back after he was scorn for stabbing dear Penelope, hiring him on as our second photographer.
It was grand to step off the,"We need to be doing this and this and this platform". We played hard tonight and we still made it to our second gathering around the dinner table for a bit of drawing, read bedtime stories, and fell asleep all before 8:30pm. This momma definitely needs to loosen up a bit on the, " I need toos", and boogie down with the play time a lot more often than not!!!
