AWW

So when I was thinking about what I wanted to put up today these two pictures popped into my mind.

Abbie, My rain boot ballerina princes

Kassie, My monkey loving monkey with the same dress a few years later. (I didn't realize how many "miles" this outfit had seen until I put these pictures side by side - WOWZA!)

As I was looking through my picture folders trying to find these two I found lots of other "dress-up" pictures that brought back so many fun memories that I decided to include them here - if only just for the fun of it all. (This is only a small sampling of the pictures & since dress up is an almost daily occurrence around here, we have 3 girls after all, there are more dress-up experiences than there will ever be pictures of said events)

Some outfits we go all out for:

 For some reason this one reminds me of the movie ET - when thy dressed ET up as a girl - sorry Kassie no insult intended, it just pops into my head every time.

 Harry Potter at his movie premier - complete with Hedwig

Some are spur of the moment (like the dress up section in a the naval museum):

And sometimes it's just a single accessory/addition that changes everything:

 And sometimes Dad even gets roped into the funny business.

 These funny teeth brought to you (as lollipops) from the Easter Bunny

 PS - she just discovered how much she likes strawberries :)

 Before just a pair of underwear - now Spiderman!

 A fuzzy purple hat takes her from a cute little girl in purple to a Lavender Diva!

 "Gags" from a family reunion in Idaho - good thing there's a dentist in the family!

Then there's the always unfortunate, wardrobe malfunction:

I am grateful for the playful spirits and grand imaginations my children have been blessed with.
