(I love that song. It’s old, but it is still good)
My sister Bette came to visit us.
She is the greatest.
She came to my rescue because my usual rescuer was needed in this crazy place called CHINA.
Ever heard of it? Just pick up anything at your house, look under it and it will say, “MADE IN CHINA” – that is where my rescuer went. He was talking to some big shots while I was back home throwing up. (He made a big presentation, I am making a small human being).
To each their own.
Back to Betta, my sister.
While she was here she…. made the beds, made multiple forts and played and played and played with the girls, changed diapers, let me take a few naps, did dishes, swept floors, buckled kids into car seats, dropped kindergartners off at school, stayed up late watching movies with me while eating peppermint ice cream.
I took her to pizza (cuz that is what she wanted to do)
I took her to Anthro (cuz that is what I wanted to do)
She is a SIZE ZERO – so it is basically like having a live Barbie doll to dress. Every time I go to Anthro I think to myself, “Oh, Betta would look so cute in that!” And well, friends, she really does look cute in everything. (But don’t hate her, she is REALLY NICE!)
I sent her into the dressing room with a giant pile of clothes. It was hard to pick what to get her – it all looked so darling!
But we did.
In the end, we narrowed it down to three things.
Here you can see her wearing one of them.
Look out Provo, she is coming back. And she is coming back in the world’s cutest trench coat EVER MADE!
Thanks for everything, Betsky!
We love you and miss you like crazy already!
So, how about we come and see you in aprox. 11 days.
Deal?!
