Margaret Rose brought home a coffee filter snowflake earlier in the week and it really caught Mary Clare's fancy so Saturday morning while she was waiting for MR to wake up she asked for some filters and the scissors. Margaret Rose joined her and by the time breakfast was ready there was at least an inch of snow in our living room.
The girls gave Lee another opportunity to make fun of those of us who spend so much time worrying over what the perfect present for the girls might be. They spent the afternoon playing with a cardboard box and the trashcan lid. In case you're wondering the picture below is of pit crew Margaret Rose and Mary Clare in a racecar.
The obsession with bosoms continues. Mary Clare made herself a pair with some Christmas bows. Over Christmas they cracked themselves up making up bosom jokes.
Before you can go out and play you need a little help from your sister.
Mary Clare came to me and said they wanted to be cheerleaders. We had to find the costumes and I remembered that my mom's sister, Aunt Billie, had just sent pompoms for Christmas. They were upset that their tummy's showed and I'd have been too if I thought they were going out that way but I wasn't about to buy new costumes for a phase that might just last an afternoon. We looked up some cheerleaders online and they saw some tummy's showing and decided it must be okay. MC did want to know if Miss Joyce showed her tummy when she was a USC cheerleader in the 50s!
Margaret Rose's outfit was a handmedown from a good friend and MC's was a home-coming gift. Here she is with Miss Anita modeling the outfit right after unwrapping it in 2005. We really believe in getting a lot of wear out of our gifts!!! Thanks Anita!!!!!!!!!
