Raising My Girls

Little girls love tutus; it’s just a given.  My girls are no different.  Well, I should say that two of my three girls are no different.  The oldest has decided that she’s too old for a tutu now that she’s a “pre-teen.”

I’ve started working on Halloween costumes for the girls.  Well, the 3 yr old wants to be Tinkerbell.  Okay.  I ordered her a Tinkerbell costume from eBay for $5.  It was suppose to be a size 3T-4T, bu when it arrived it was far too short for my tall child.  So, I decided to make a tutu for her to wear under the costume.  It turned out perfect!  She looks like a little green angel.  As soon as it was completed, she HAD to have her picture taken.  LOL.  She’s all girl!

Now, the 8yr old has decided that she wants to be a witch.  She’s excited because I’m going to make her a black and orange striped tutu for her costume.  She’ll wear a black turtleneck, witch’s hat, and orange & black striped tights.  So, I ordered the tulle today and will get right to work as soon as it arrives.  I’m sure that she’ll be dancing around in the tutu long before and long after Halloween.

The 11 yr old, on the other hand, doesn’t know what she wants to be, but she does know that she does NOT want a tutu.  Apparently she’s just too old to wear a tutu, not matter how cool or what color her mom makes it.  LOL!  Oh well, at least I still have the younger two who think that mommy is the coolest woman around and everything I make is fabulous!  All I know is that the oldest better get on the ball about deciding what she wants to be, or I WILL make her a tutu and she’ll have to be happy with it or nothing.  LOL!

Girls and tutus, a love that can last a lifetime… or not!
