Getting Ready to Meet a Queen

As you know, on the nights C works the girls and I often have movie night. I always let the girls choose a movie. Tonight's movie was The Princess Diaries. One of our favorites.

We've seen this movie, at least, a dozen times. Usually it ends and the girls are playing Princess Mia for a week. Not tonight.

Tonight the girls both wanted to know if there really was such a place as Genovia and Queens and Princesses. Well, sorry girls, no such place as Genovia. It's a made up country, however, there are countries, I told them, that do have Queens, Kings, and Princesses. OOOH, that was exciting for them to hear. I told them England is such a place. 

Now, they want to go to England. They expect to meet the Queen when they get there. (I don't know how they understood if you go to England you get to meet the Queen.) I told them if they are able to meet the Queen they are really going to have to be on their best behavior. Even more than going to fancy tea with Grammy. They understood. I could tell CK was thinking about this a little.

CK comes to me a few minutes later and asks "Mommy, will we get to practice before we meet the Queen?" My little perfectionist. "Yes," I told her. "For sure, we will practice."

Guess I'm not only going to have to plan a trip to England, but meeting the Queen will need to be on my itinerary. I'd really like to know how I am going to pull this one off.
