Decisions, Decisions
I stressed out over finding Elsa the perfect poofy holiday dress. I finally got her a pretty purple thing from Costco (because I’m fancy like that). I tried it on her and it fit, but it looked pretty ridiculous. She is just not a poofy dress kind of girl, at least not right now.
I just booked our portrait session for Monday and now I have to decide. Do I go with the poofy dress that doesn’t feel at all authentic, or a much more mild sweater dress that fits her personality better? I guess I’ll take both, but start with the sweater dress.
Still have to find something for Erik. You’d think it would be simple to find a nice gray sweater, but nope. They all have red or blue accents. I need purple!
I know, I know. There are people who have lost everything, and I’m sitting here complaining about finding just the right sweater. Believe me, if I could pack up all our extra clothes and blankets and drive it up to NJ/NY I would do it right this second. I have lots of friends with family who are out of their homes, will be waiting weeks and weeks for power, and have lost everything. My friends are saying that it is much too dangerous to go up there and deliver any sort of help. The roads need to be kept clear. The people living there need access to what resources they have. They do not need well meaning folks to come up and take away what precious little they have. The only thing we can do is donate to the American Red Cross.
