A short conversation with my 5 year old tonight

Ainsley:  "Mamma, are you glad you're a girl?"

Me: "Ugh-huh . . ."

Ainsley: "Me too!  I like being a girl . . . you know why?"

Me: "No, why?" (Wondering just WHAT was going to come out of her mouth at this point)

Ainsley: "Cuz when you're a girl and you have a bad outfit on or something, you can just throw on a cute purse and everything is all better!"

I KNOW she doesn't get this "fashion sense" from me . . . since I have ONE purse I wear with everything!!

This is her in Hawaii last summer in the Coach store . . . she said "LOOK MAMMA!  A purse just for me!"

NOPE!  I'm thinking we'll find that purse at the dollar store!  lol!  : )

She probably gets it from her krazy kuzin Kendra . . . they play "Fashion Girl" whenever she comes over . . .
Kendra is taller than Ainsley so her outfits are usually too short on her in these "fashion shows" - not to
mention the mid-drift shirts!  : )  So the last time they started to dress for their "show" I gave them the "challenge" of not just dressing "cool" but also dressing MODEST and "COOL"!!!  It was somewhat of a challenge - but they were very proud to point out that Kendra's skirt WOULD have been immodest IF they wouldn't have put on the cool leggings underneath!  : )  I thought it was very cute and hopefully a good learning experience they will take with them throughout their life.  : )

Here they are @ Thanksgiving when Rikki did their makeup for them.
Kendra wanted her makeup to look like Rikki : )

Ainsley wanted Fairy makeup

I love these girls . . . even though they argue like sisters!

So many things to blog about . . . but the funnest pictures for now will have to be these:
