This morning I walked into my closet in the hopes of deciding what to wear to church today. Ours is a church where you can wear just about anything, but I like to dress up a little on Sundays.
I don’t have much in the way of dresses. One dress hanging in my closet is one that I got a couple of weeks ago and had yet to wear anywhere. It is a white halter-style dress with an uneven hem. The slightest breeze makes the skirt float about like wispy clouds on a spring day. It is a dress that makes me feel like a little girl who wants to prance and twirl and dance about.
Maybe it was a little too over-the-top for church?
I stepped out of the closet to ask Matthew his opinion. He smiled from ear to ear and told me I was beautiful…then nodded in agreement. He thought maybe I was right. Maybe?
Graham looked up from his toy and said, “Mommy! You look so pretty!”
Awww.
Nathan turned to see what the fuss was about. “Mommy! You look like a Princess!”
Sold!
I then wondered aloud if maybe I should still wear another dress. They were both adamant that I wear that dress. They wanted me to be a Princess today.
I put Emily in her white dress and Matthew snapped a few shots of his girls before we left.
At church my friends all bestowed the sweetest of compliments upon me and I did not feel overdressed in the slightest. I just felt pretty, which is never a bad thing.
I need those rare days where I get to be the Princess. It makes up for the rest of the days where I feel more like an ogre.
