Growing Up

You only have your children for such a short period of time where YOU are their everything.  They wear what you buy them, they do as they are told (for the most part) and they go where you bring them!

Unfortunately, (I guess for some they would say the opposite), they grow up to be TEENAGERS (insert shrill scream here!) and then they want to spend most of their time with their peers! I find this stage to be very difficult.  Trinity is fifteen, a social butterfly with lots of friends and a galavanter (just like me!).  This year she did not wish to go to The Sound of Music Festival with me - I was instead only shown a glimpse by way of a text message with a picture of her! (That bloody lip ring was fake and thank goddess that fad is now gone with her - it drove me crazy!)

 My baby girl, Avalon, who is thirteen is still in Elementary school, so not quite the "Galavanter" as her sister.  We enjoyed Beavertails at the festival together!

 

Avalon & her friends went to Canada's Wonderland one hot day in the summer (in the bottom left hand corner) - again I was not invited! I got some retail therapy at the nearby Vaughn Mills Mall!! 

 I made a "hipster floral wreath" for Avalon & because they were so cute, we decided to add them to our Etsy shop.  Here she is modelling one of the wreaths! She's such a cutie petutie!
