"It is only by introducing the young
to great literature, drama, and music,
and to the excitement
of great science,
that we open to them
the possibilities
that lie within the human spirit--
enable them to see visions
and dream dreams."

It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."

"Cleaning and scrubbing
can wait 'til tomorrow.
For babies grow up,
we learn to our sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs!
Dust, go to sleep!
I'm rocking my baby,
and babies don't keep!"

Jun. 26, 2009 - Show and Tell Friday.....Fancy Nancy
I have been introduced to the world of Fancy Nancy. For those of you with only boys, she is a book character who loves to dress-up and use fancy words. It is mostly twaddle, but we have learned some good vocabulary words in reading the books. It is not something we indulge in often as I really don't want to encourage a Miss Priss attitude around here.
Anyhow, the library had a Fancy Nancy party and I took the girls. Joy dressed up in her blue velvet dress and Hope just wore a pretty dress with butterflies on it. There were lots of little girls giggling in their dress-up clothes. There were different craft stations and we made a bracelet, a "stained glass" piece, and a little purse. Joy then got to paint her nails....Oooh-la-la!
She had a blast.
And can you believe how big Hope is getting?!!!!!!!
I took this shot at the party.

Oh What Fun !! I am praying in the next couple of years that God will leading the g.rls he wants in our family of boys. We are looking into adopting two g.rls. What a different world that will be ! Your sweeties look so pretty in their party clothes. They must have had a lot of fun !
Sending you blessings and ((HUGS)) my SSiC

Sooo sweet and precious! I have two girls, but somehow I've not heard of Fancy Nancy. Perhaps I can check her out... or maybe not if I too want to avoid prissiness (sp?). :)
THose pictures are precious- thanks for posting them!
Can you take a quick minute and go to my blog post and give me some tips on how to get back into blogging? I would appreciate it! The link is here.

Hope IS getting big! I think she looks like you :) And I don't think Fancy Nancy is prissy, she just enjoys the good life *grin* I like how her family indulges her,. without spoiling her. Anyhow, glad your girls had fun!
