We have so many projects going right now and nothing makes you get things accomplished like a baby on the way. So, Saturday night we sat around painting storage boxes while watching The Buttercream Gang. It was so funny to watch, Dustin and I kept talking about how nice it would be if life were really that easy. I can't believe how much the shows we watched growing up are so different from what you see today. In fact, after we put Brinley to bed we also saw part of 48 Hour Mystery and the news, both of which left me feeling physically sick! I'm scared to raise kids in this world. I lose sleep over it and to tell you the truth, I'm not sure I can do it.
Sunday we woke up and Brinley said, "Mom, will you play in my room with me?"
"Sure Brinley. What are we going to play?"
"How about Barbies?"
So, we got down her Barbie stuff and played and then... I remembered I had a tote of old Barbie stuff so we pulled it out of storage. I hadn't opened that tote in close to 20 years so it was fun to see what I had and how different our stuff was.
Barbie 2011 style
And Barbie 1980's and 1990's style.
I didn't have any of my old Barbies so we put one of my Barbie dresses on Brinley's Barbie. It looked loose and big on her. Are they making Barbies smaller now than they used to be? That was a little disturbing. Maybe the styles are just getting tighter.
See the difference in clothes? The top row are obviously clothes my Barbies used to wear and below are Brinley's. My how times have changed.

Ah!!! I have that red and yellow Barbie outfit too...old times were so much fun! Thanks for the reminder! Oh and you will raise your kids fantastically! :)
That is so fun! I remember growing up, my mom kept her Barbies and I loved when she would let me play with them. They were from the 70's so it was fun! So, I decided to keep mine. Now my girls love when I let them play with mine. I even have the old 80's style ghetto long white limo with a yellow boomerang antenna on the trunk! LOL! I also kept Mall Madness (do you remember that board game?) Wow! I am glad I am not the only crazy lady who kept my old toys. Its crazy how fast time flies and now our girls play with them, huh? We still need to get together sometime! Maybe we can meet up at the park or somethin!
Hope all is well! <3 ya girl!
