sisters day

i am a big sister. i have lived my whole young life, filled with the tomfoolery and shenanigans of sibling-dom. while its great and all to have a built in best friend/ partner in crime, it is hard work being a good sister. and even more so, a good BIG sister. there is a lot more being bossy and shoe throwing that goes into it than most folks would think. they deserve to be celebrated for all of their labors.
especially my sweet polly gal. she is the bees knees of a sister and ted man is surely lucky to have her. we all are. and thats the truth of it.
and vice versa of course. teddy is a true gem. but right now its all about her.

so, we make up our own holidays.
why not? the pink and green ones burfdays are just about 6 months apart. i have designated their half birthdays to celebrate, so each one has a nice little party day just. for. them. semi close together.

ok. now that all of the information i could possibly give you on the subject has been blabbed on and on about and you have read my novel, aug 21st was sweet seestars special day. she was ecstatic and rightfully so. it. was. grand.

cards arent really my style. they are nice to send long distance when you cant be near the person for an occasion. but for me, they just seem so blah, overdone, unnecessary. "here let me purchase a piece of heavy paper with something someone else wrote in side then sign my name and hand it to you cause you are sitting right next to me." i prefer a more personal sentiment... you know, like a huge banner made out of butcher paper and crayon way too late the night before, with blown up water ballons stuck on it cause mom forgot to buy real balloons and that was all she could find, hung up in the walkway with moving tape. yeah, not much says you are  the bomb. com like that.
please forgive the less great quality of photes. you should know by now that i function less then optimally early in the morn.

she got a small gift. mr theodore was so very excited to give it to her and she was equally excited to receive.

then we had chocolate cake for breakfast. DUH.

2 candles for 2 years of sisterhood.

bed head.

we spent the rest of the day doing everything she wanted. 

it was fab.
