I found sunglasses

Oh, Bryson has found sunglasses and not just any pair. Only pink will work for him!

The New Way to Wear a Coat

Ellery has always been on the independent side so dressing has always made an interesting time for us. I let her pick her outfits during the week, but on Sunday I tell her I get final say on what she wears and it has to meet my approval. We still have some interesting discussions to get us into clothes, that don't quite meet my standards, but compromising is in my vocabulary even if others in our family don't think so-Rob.  Today she decided to wear her coat as she felt fit-upside down. I am not sure if she meant to do it or just liked her mistake?

Dr. Seuss

Toady is Dr. Seuss Day! The kids got excited this morning and decorated the hearth will all the Dr. Seuss books and then got dressed for the big day. Mason wore his shirt to school, his class didn't do much to celebrate, but Ellery had crazy dress day. We put her hair in pig tails and braided in a pipe cleaner so we could bend her hair in place. Next time I will put a pipe cleaner in each strand so I have three rather than one to bend. It worked out well, but three would have been even more fun and bendy! She enjoyed wearing different socks and shoes for the day. Grandma Ellen made an appearance at her school and read her class a book. 

I was inspired by a craft she made in MDO the week prior. It was a cute hand picture made into Thing 1 and Thing 2. I decided to try to do it on t-shirts, but bought red color shirts and I should have bought white. The project was already in progress so I adapted to make it work on red. They could be better, but still make me smile and I enjoyed making them!

Hair

I think we broke this wig out almost a year ago. I think we got Bryson wearing it last year, but he wanted nothing to do with it this year! Ellery is our dress up queen! She doesn't want to cut her hair, she wants to grow it out like Tangled aka Rapunzel.

Monkey-ing Around

Ellery wanted to wear a monkey costume today and wore it most of the day! What you don't see in the picture is that it is a capri monkey costume this year!

Worn Out

Everyone had a great weekend in KC, but everyone was worn out from all of our fun activities. One would think that it was freezing cold in the car. Rob does keep it cooler in the car, but not so cold you need all the accessories Ellery put on!

Dressing Fun

These pants are not meant to be pulled so high, but this is what came walking around the corner ready for the day!
