"Tween twins!" Winnie reminds me.
"Double digits, doubled!"
And just like that, a decade ebbs.
Having soaked up the Emily Windsnap books lately,
they want to be mermaids.
So, I've been making art.
Mermaidy tattoos!
Painted shells.
Waves of seaweed.
Glowy lights.
Cupcakes + art = yummy.
Mermaids, this way. Your party awaits.
