calling tinkerbell...

calling Tinkerbell...

calling Tinkerbell...

do you hear me?

I needed you last Friday to come spread your pixie fairy dust

for me...

funny how life doesn't quite work that way

last Friday was quite the day

as my wallet was stolen and used

so we've been picking up a few pieces

please no need to comment on that

life could definitely be worse

and not really what I want to write about
I shed some tears that were ridiculous and moved on

my mom thought I was pregnant when I talked to her
because I was so emotional
for some reason about the events of the day

but Friday was just frankly one of those days

that I wanted some Tinkerbell pixie dust to magically start my day all over again

because it was just one thing after another
"awful kind of day"

you get my drift...

in other words

pretty much it was just...

"life"

it has pushed a few things back a bit

but not too much damage was done
thank goodness

it is the picking up the pieces

and special pictures to me that are gone

and the fact that the one plus I was looking forward to
about my wallet being stolen was
a new driver's license picture

that's so ridiculous isn't it?

didn't happen

they used the same darn one...

geez...

but talking about the pictures

all were replaceable but one...

it was a picture of Bobby on our honeymoon

at one of our dinners

and it wasn't taken by us

but by the ship

so I don't have another copy

it was just one of those pictures

that everytime I saw it

I smiled and remembered our special memories we had during our honeymoon week

our hilarious ones

our romantic ones

our relaxing ones

and the picture to me marked the official place where Bobby finally fell in love with the ocean

which is exactly why that was one of my favorite pictures of him

he wasn't all too fond of water when I first met him

but now he loves it just as much as I do

except he has no fear in the ocean as I now do....

I love it but I won't go out past my waist especially if I cannot see the ocean floor

I know a big wuss I have become...

but beside the point is how much I love photographs
I always have them all around me

from the simpliest of sitting at a dinner on our honeymoon

to pictures of our summer nights when we are eating alfresco

summer nights are beyond my favorite

watching the girls play in our backyard
and talking with Bobby as he is grilling...

this was my favorite evening
in these pictures

so...

 calling Tinkerbell...

calling Tinkerbell....

I know you are around as Madison was just talking with you...

and exactly what this little girl was doing
this summer evening...

calling you

on top of this hill

that leads to some common ground behind us

well actually to get it right...

she was calling Tinkerbell and her main squeeze
she informed us about...
{still the same one as last year}

so as she dressed herself in her flower hat
underneath her Fancy Nancy crown
holding her Fancy Nancy purse
and wearing her soccer medal

you know...
the perfect outfit for calling Tinkerbell...

this summer night
was one of my favorites

of all-time...

since fall and winter are closer than ever...

it reminded me to enjoy the last of the summer nights

until next year, that is

the sun was setting perfectly behind the hill

so it shadowed Madison and Hayley as they played until dark

they looked beautiful as we could only see their figures from where we sat

they looked like their own little fairies that night

especially Madison with her feather poofs on her crown

it was all we could see

it made us laugh and smile as we just watched them together

both of them calling Tinkerbell

and then Iridessa

and I said

"hey...what about Silvermist?"

{she's one of my fav's as she likes the color blue and water}

they said...

"you call her mama!"

yes...I'll admit...I did the fairy personality test with the girls...

"and whadya know..."

I can't make a darn decision on some of the answers

because I couldn't decide between a couple descriptions

typical me...

well I do see the sheet often enough

and why I know a little bit about the fairies

as it was requested to be laminated by the girls

so it would stay nice...

it's important reading material you know...

some must-knows for moms of girls

summer nights like these

are a special song to my heart

{thanks for staying with me on this 500 topic post}

well that's a bit of an exaggeration

but you get my drift...

xo

and that wonderful saying on the chalkboard

all the credit goes to Bobby
