Dressing Up

During William's stay at Boy Scout camp, we unpacked from our long trip east and tried to play catch-up on a zillion fronts, not the least of which was to try to bring life to our scorched grass after weeks of 90-100 degree heat. Frassati Runners, our July running clinic, started for the season, and we prepared for the start of cross country practices. Meanwhile, the little girls did what they do best—played to their little hearts' content, with dress-up being a favorite.

A trip to the basement "dress-up bucket" produces this cute duo with big sis, Kathleen.

The Many Incarnations of Marguerite

There seems to be nothing more fun than dressing up your little, willing sister.

The big kids spent over an hour dressing Marguerite in various costumes, concocted from our well-supplied dress-up bucket. They even did their blogging mother a favor and snapped a ton of photos.

Tell me those photos don't make you chuckle. :)

Dressing Up

Therese likes to play dress-up. Here are her latest fashions.

Why the wings? "Because Reggie is in Heaven, of course!"
Why the braids? No answer.
