Fashion Day

We live in a home in which there is a lot of activity centered on "doing hair," "accessorizing," and "lip gloss." Most days the girls wear jeans and sweatshirts with tennis shoes because they have P.E. all but one day a week--that doesn't stop the hair-do's, accessorizing or lip gloss but puts a damper on my skirt-loving daughters' choice of attire.

This morning as the girls were getting ready, Ellie called out excitedly, "Mom, tomorrow is 'fashion' day!"

"What is fashion day?" I asked, picturing hours of curling or straightening hair, elaborate accessorizing and toning down the layers of lip gloss and nail polish.

"Oh, well tomorrow, I don't have P.E.!" she exclaimed.

So now school days are distinguished by "P.E. day" and "fashion day."

Ha! That is so cute!

I'm so sad that Ellie grows up so fast.

I thought for sure you were talking about one of the other girls - Ellie must be the fashion queen.

Worlds apart, Kelly, worlds apart. My kids have been off track for three weeks and they don't even wear clothes, let alone accessorize.
