Fun Pics

When both Tracey and Caroline end up wearing Mama's old dresses to church on the same day... we take some fun pictures...

 

Fancy

Tracey will turn five in about two weeks and she received a few birthday presents from family while we were in St. Louis.  One of which was a jewelry box with her name on it.  It is also a music box that plays music and has a ballerina who twirls when the box is opened.

Today, she took it upon herself to find anything and everything in the house that she thought belonged in her jewelry box.  This included some actual child jewelry, and lots of hair bows, headbands, hair ties, and chap stick.

She then proceeded to entertain herself by making herself "fancy".  It started with necklaces and hair bows, and spread to her chosen outfit for the day, and on the the purse that she carried, and the voice in which she spoke for the remainder of the morning.

I think this was largely inspired by the Disney show, "Fancy Nancy."  Nancy loves to dress up and frequently uses big words like "Stupendous" and then says, "That's a fancy word for awesome."

Tracey kept saying, "I am FANCY" (and she said fancy in a very hoity-toity voice) then she would say, "That's a fancy word for fancy."

What a character.

 

Little Girls

"Mama.  Look, I have beautiful earrings!"

I love having little girls!

The Bow

On Tuesday, a few of our baby-sitter brought Tracey and Caroline a home-made Olaf Frozen hairbow.

Tracey was so excited, so wore it to school on Wednesday.

Is this not the most adorable picture of my nearly five-year-old?

We don't have any big bows like this, and this is the first time Tracey has shown a desire to wear a huge bow like this... so it was such a treat to capture this adorable and girly image of my precious oldest daughter.

Twins

Oh, you thought I was going to post about our twin children?  Nope.

Wednesday, Tracey was so excited to wear this Santa dress that was given to her after Christmas.  Caroline has a matching one -- which she wore once during the Christmas season, so I was more than happy to have both girls wear them on Wednesday before they outgrow them.

Tracey and Caroline were THRILLED to be wearing matching dresses and they skipped around the house together joined at the hip for nearly an hour.  Tracey then informed me that they were getting married because they matched.  I tried to explain that the bride wants to stand out and the bridesmaids match... but that fell like a ton of bricks. 

It made me so happy to see my girls so happy with dressing alike.  I know there will be so many years where they will not be so happy with each other or the prospect of matching, so I intend to fully enjoy these days while I have them.
