A girl after my own heart

My little chickies are ill and we are stayin in for Texas Christmas (Superbowl). Not that I give a hoot about the game, it's really all about the food table for me ;)
Well, I was just sittin around doin a whole bunch of nothin when Sarah pops up in an interesting look. She' a self dresser, much like I was, and I didn't think much about it. But when she said "Look, mom. I'm the Goblin King" I took a closer look......
 The mega fan in me had to do a quick scan of her outfit's "accuracy". And for a little girl with limited medieval fantasy land inspired garb in her dress up collection, I'd say she did an ace job. 
Boy, did my heart swell with sheer pride!

 She even ran off to get somethin and came back with a clear ball with bracelets in it. Then she began to say "I have a gift for you Sarah." HA HA! She totally was reenacting a scene from the movie! 
 (Who noticed the superfluous shoulder pads layin around? Ha ha!)
 I love this girl. I don't know what device you read my blog on and if you can see the background for it. If you can then you know that I have a definite affinity for this movie. And it may or may not be a coincidence that I named my daughter, Sarah.


 And of course, she had to steal a baby just like Jareth. Sorry Gabe. You'll have to do....

    1. If teachin kids about the world of Jim Henson and the near lost art of puppetry makes one a good mother, then I strive to be top notch ;) You're more family than family, buddy <3

    1. I was in LOVE with David Bowie as a girl because of that movie. I still think Sarah was mucho dumbo to not stay there and be his queen. That baby would've been just fine being a goblin ;) I love the part at the final "showdown" where he's singing/saying "Everything I've done, I've done for you. I move the stars for no one"..... I LOVE Tra la la, too! What a smarty pants!
      Wow, you've got me nerding out before I've even had breakfast....

    1. I have dressed as Bowie a few times, sadly there are not many appropriate events for this throughout the year. And then it was a dollar well spent! The day I sent you that, afterwards a man from Nashville handed me $10 at a gas station and said "It all comes back around"... Like, literally! It's a cool adventure we live, huh?
