wing was saying that ashlyn is starting to look more like a girl. peg replied with, "what if i dressed her in blue. do you still think she'd still look like a girl, no question bout it?" hmmm... what do you think?
ever since parkin and i got engaged, i've wanted ashlyn as our flower girl. yeah, i know ashlyn is only 7 months right now, and by next may, she'll only be a year and a half. i don't even know if she'll be walking steadily by then, but i'm hoping. *fingers crossed* i think it'll also depend on how attached she is to mom and dad by then. peg was telling me that she's not attached now, and she seems very independant, so i'm optimistic. people think that i'm crazy. dont' worry, i won't force the child if she's not ready. in one of my wedding mags, etiquette on flower girls is to have them in the ages of 4-8. 8 years old!? that's not cute! shouldn't they be junior bridesmaids by then? or intermediates? i think of flower girls as toddlers/preschool children, nowhere near elementary school age girls. even in my wedding mags, there were little girls modelling flower girl dresses, and most of them were about 7-8 years old. dana agreed with me that it just wasn't that cute. when my flower girls walk down the aisle, i want our guests to say, "awwwww, how cute." i'm sure no matter what age, a little girl in a pretty white dress is going to be a doll.
no worries tho. if we feel that ashlyn is lookin too small in the next several months, i have nieces that are will be the perfect age, by etiquette standards.
parkin won tickets to watch the premeire of the new movie, 'about a boy' with hugh grant at amc kabuki. we often enter these contests for movies, and maybe once a month, we're lucky and get a pair of tickets. parkin and i used to watch movies every week when we were in college. we'd go to amc mercado and watch the movie we payed for and then theater hop afterwards. i think the most we'd watched in a day was 4 movies. by movie number 3, our butts were numb, but we had nothing else to do that day, so we hopped into movie number 4. those were the days. haha. these days we just got to the movie we pay for then go home. *borriiiiing* with these free movie passes, you have to get there super early and sit and wait for a long time. i got there at 5-ish yesterday for the 7:30 showing and was at the front of the line! i'd never been that close before. for the premiere of '40 days 40 nights' with josh hartnett, we got to 1000 van ness at 6:45 or so. we had crap seats in the second row. i just took off my glasses, leaned back and watched the movie. not the most enjoyable experience.
we had awesome seats yesterday. we ran into my cousin gary and his wife marvel there too! they are the couple that just adopted their son from korea. grandma was home taking care of justin at home while they had a date night. *sweet* marvel's sister won 2 pairs of tickets and was at the front of the line!!! but they were only 10 people in front of me. hehe
anyways, the movie was pretty entertaining. hugh grant has great facial expressions and he looks so helpless sometimes, it's hilarious. i swear, the english are invading with very entertaining movies. i love it!
