"I'm Not Going To School Til I See That Royal Kiss!"

Oh, that is my daughter.

She is on the couch, totally ready to leave for school, wearing a jean jacket and shoes (fancy, bejeweled flats, perhaps in celebration of the Royal Wedding?).  She put her bookbag and lunchbox into the car in advance--commercial break.  We dried hair and brushed teeth in record time while the Royals are having their first reception inside of Buckingham Palace.

Now, Alyssa is doing her own countdown to the Royal Kiss. 9:19 and counting...

She says she will not budge until she has seen the kiss.  8:57.

We may be a bit late to school today.

You have to teach your kids about priorities.  Realistic ones.  As I am now.

The Royal Wedding

Just so you know, I did NOT watch any of the week-long lead-up to the royal nuptuals, nor did I wake up at 4AM to watch the whole of the coverage of the Royal Wedding.  (Are you kidding me?  Sleep is still sacred here, as Brooke still does not sleep through the night!)

I have, however, been glued to the tube since 6:30AM, except when the kids so rudely interrupt me for things like breakfast and diaper changing.

How beautiful are the Prince and Princess--and the HORSES? Oh, the horses were our favourites...!  (British spelling, hahahaha!) Alyssa and I were going crazy over the white horse-drawn carriage and cavalcade.

Well, sadly, have to get showers and pack lunches for our day in the "real world", so I must bid you good day!

...Is anyone else thinking that tonight might be a "Princess Diaries" marathon night?  Oh, Greg will just be thrilled.  He does love the "Princess Diaries" movies, so.  (Fortunately, I watched 2 heist movies with him this week, not to mention the NFL draft!  So, he totally owes me.)
