In case you hadn't heard, Oona is having a birthday, and instead of having a virtual drinks party like she did last year, she having a REAL LIFE PROM at Sew LA. Why a prom? Because what better chance to wear those fancy dresses that are NSFW. And in order to have the kind of fun we should have had the first time around.
Those of us that aren't lucky (unlucky?) enough to live in the greater LA area will have to make due by linking up virtually, for this year at least. Maybe next year she and Ruggy'll be back on the East Coast and we can celebrate in a city that doesn't require a car to get around. Because lord knows, there will have to be some designated drivers when Oona plans a party.
My men are out of town for a few weeks, so it's just us girls chez Another Sewing Scientist. What's a mamma to do when she's called upon to party like it's Promaballoona 2012? Why, put on her new gown (silk crepe, $6 from Guy Frenchy's thank you very much!), get the little monster hosed down and have a princess tea party.

How 'bout we get this party started?
A splash of Mother's Little Helper (a.k.a. Hendrick's gin)?

Happy Birthday Oona! Sorry not to make your party in person, but as you can see, we've already started tearing it up in La Belle Province!
(I know that Quebec's legal drinking age is probably astonishingly low to you Americans, but even I think that 3 years old is pushing it. I'll make sure she sticks to the juice boxes for a few years yet.)
HA, Love the one of you both with your straws! and the candies to top it off :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful times together!!! How long did it take to empty the colourful bowl???
ReplyDeleteIt's still there, actually. She doesn't scoff down the candies the way her brother does. and her mother.
Deletei'm in love with the little princess's increasingly mischievous looks, which i do believe she gets from her mama....
ReplyDeletenext year: subway series, baby.
Amazing, cute, and hilarious!
ReplyDeleteWatch out, the way she's looking at the gin in that last photo.....!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!
Oh, so fun! What a great time. My entire family has abandoned me... it's kind of heavenly but very weird. What is the age in Quebec? I had assumed it was 18 like out here... :)
ReplyDeleteIt is 18, but it's not very strictly enforced. I used to drink in pubs here when I was 15.
DeleteHas your crew gone ahead to the new place? Where are you moving anyway?!
i LOVE that you had a tea party for promaballoona. i hope, for oona's sake, that your tea had a little something extra in it :-)
ReplyDeletewait, saw the gin this time. whew. :-)
DeleteI LOVE these photos - you both look fabulous :) Here's to us, celebrating where we are! Let's meet up in NYC again soon, yes? :) I'll bring the gin!
ReplyDeleteI think an East Coast or Mid-West Promaballoona is definitely in order.
DeleteThese pictures are adorable! It's kind of ridiculous how cute things get when they're tiny (referring to both the teacups and your drinker-in-training)! You look just fine without the picmonkey!
ReplyDeleteBut picmonkey is tempting me with its airbrush option A.K.A. "get rid of grey triple-bagged mom eyes" function. Easier and less toxic than using makeup, I reckon. ;)
