It has been way too long since I have updated my blog, and all I can say is that I don't remember any other time in my life being as busy as I am right now. I have been working on house projects (painting, decorating, etc., and someday, if I can ever accomplish all that I have set out to do on this house that is only mine for another 18 months I will post pictures), taking care of sick kids, and doing lots and lots of church stuff (more on that in another post...) Amidst all of these things though, Charlotte and I have been spending a little girl time doing girl things...building car tracks, throwing balls, talking about "poo-poo," and playing a little dress-up.
I got this Flamenco outfit for Charlotte last fall when we were in Spain, and I think it is AWESOME. It's my contribution to trying to show Charlotte what girls are all about. Sometimes I feel bad for Charlotte, that she was born to a tomboyish "boy mom" who knows nothing about princesses and girly things. The fact that she keeps a baseball hat on better than a hair clip is clearly an indication of her upbringing. However, she did seem quite pleased with the Flamenco outfit, and most particularly the shoes, her first pair of high heels:
She was hilarious walking around, strutting her stuff, but for some reason my camera (
which I love and hate equal parts) couldn't quite capture it all. So, for now I have so-so pictures of Charlotte trying to be a real girl, and one great picture of what happens when mommy and the camera walk away:
Exit Bow, Enter Hat.

That dress is great, but the shoes really put it over the top -- fabulous. Great choice, as opposed to the traditional "princess stuff". Glad you included the hat picture, too! :)

Simply adorable. The shoes really do make the outfit. Although...the hat came in a close 2nd. I can just picture her strutting her stuff. So dang cute!!! I can't wait for the pictures of all your projects!! I need some ideas to copy!
I CANNOT get over that outfit...especially the shoes! This is one outfit you'd better keep and NOT take to the thrift store.
