Little Mermaid II



My girls have been obsessed with having mermaid dress ups. So...we went to the fabric store and this is what I came up with. I know they look a bit like spaceaged flapper dresses, but Grace and Mae think they are the coolest mermaid costumes ever. I just hope they last until Halloween. They are getting tattered quickly due to all the the scooting "swimming" on the tile floor.


We had a great Little Mermaid II party when the movie came out. They got all dressed up, popped some popcorn, and watched the movie. I love being home with my kids to enjoy the simple pleasures of life with them.

Look at how crafty you are!! I'm so impressed! I love Grace's lipstick and Mae's hilarious little grin. They are too cute! Seeing your girls makes me excited for when my girls are a little older.

I am so impressed! I can't even thread a sewing machine, let alone sew! That is so great. I love Grace's ruby red lips...I want some!

thought I'd jump on the band wagon and tell you that I am so impressed! (if you didn't notice everyone who commented before me said that). But I really am! Those girls are so cute and I'm so glad I got to participate in the Little Mermaid 2 party!

You know how to sew?! Incredible. Will you come to Cali and thread my machine for me? It sounds like BJ and I are at the same non-crafty sewing level. How pathetic!!!
