quote of the day

Prom was this past weekend here in our little valley. So at church on Sunday, many of the girls wore their prom formals (as well as a few guys in their tuxes) and they looked amazing! As we were buckling kids into the car after church, three of the girls were outside twirling and swishing the full skirts on these magnificent dresses. (I loved it, these are amazing young ladies, sweet, accomplished, intelligent, talented beautiful young women. But they played with their dresses with the excitement and innocence of little girls. I admitted to husband that there's a six year old child hiding in every woman, twirling in a ball gown.) Butterfly watched them and exclaimed, "oh mommy! look at the beautiful princesses! They are dancing! I love the dancing princesses! I want to be a dancing princess at the ball!" We drove up close to the girls so she could shyly tell them, "you are such a beautiful princess."
