The Queen is 11

She broke the tradition.   I couldn't believe it.   The last few years, we have gone to stay in a hotel with Birdie and her mom, Mrs. Callie, and this year she didn't want to do that.   She wanted to have a spend the night.   

I DO NOT LIKE A SPEND THE NIGHT!!!  Girls can be drama.   Feelings can get hurt.   People can get left out.   I also capped her off at 5 friends.  My bad.   My fault.   Yep... it caused problems.   But I am not the kind of girl who likes to feel overstimulated.   

Since Trey and I have had back issues and bought several mattresses.... we just so happen to have an extra king-sized mattress lying around.   So there was the extra bed.

Birdie couldn't come to the spend the night, so she came to the family party at Puh's.
Ms. Taylor bought Bitty some skull caps.

Ohhh and the queen wanted a vanity for her birthday.   She picked it out.   I ordered it.   It came in two huge, heavy boxes with no less than 85,000 pieces.   That was an immediate HARD NO for me.   I knew Trey wasn't going to put it together so I offered to pay the boys.   Ford did about 15-20% and Bit finished it off.

SHE LOVES IT!
This!!!!   This right here was his first time playing on a field in a real game since June.  Not a practice, but a game.   It made my heart so happy that his arm is almost 100% healed.
And we finished his mosaic for Latin.
All headed to school together like old times!!!!
