Breakfast with Buddies

Another fun event we enjoyed this spring was "Breakfast with Buddies." A morning where parents (or a special buddy) were invited to join their children at school for breakfast. It was a rainy morning and the gym was overflowing with people & umbrellas! Grace and I were lucky enough to find a spot at a table near a few of her classmates. It was a great excuse to eat a doughnut. I love making these new school memories with her!

Well Loved

This winter Faith decided that she had a "go to" pair of shoes. Her pink snow boots. Which is ironic considering this winter we only had snow on the ground to walk to school like 2 times. She loved them so much she continued to wear them throughout the spring. She was basically still trying to wear them when we broke out the flip flops and finally ended their reign as favorite. Good thing as this summer has been WAY to hot for boots!

I was thinking about how I would be sad to sell those boots at our yard sale as they probably won't fit next winter. They are one of those sweet childhood moments that you forget too quickly unless you happen upon them in your attic. So, since we have no attic and are a bit tight on storage around here we decided to remember their fame by a photo shoot with some of Faith's favorites.

Favorite #1: "Pink" the Blanket
This items fame is well documented. She is Faith's best friend and constant companion. She gets better treatment than any baby doll and more prayer time for her ailments than any other sick person we know. 
 Favorite #2: The Sparkly White "Wedding" Dress-Up Dress
This girls seriously needs a replacement for this one. You might be able to see it is tied together at the shoulder where the seem ripped out. (This mama doesn't sow- but the knot is very chic don't you think?) And since this picture now booth shoulders are tied together. Someone likes to pretend to be a bride an awful lot! (I am giving credit for this one to Aunt Erin, Aunt Jo Jo, and the future Aunt Wesley on that one.)
Favorite #3: Pink Camo Snow Boots
The fact that they are camoflage is very uncharacteristic for this princess but she loved them still.

Oh, Faith you are truly my favorite four year old! Love, The Mama
