One morning I got the girls dressed for church and they both happened to be wearing pink and white. I however was in black and purple. But, upon seeing the girls in their finery, Jere begged me to please wear pink and white too so we could all match. Fine, I gave in and match we did. It was so "cute". haha And yes, we did get a lot of comments on our matchery.
Can we talk about Maggies tan for a minute? Holy crap that girl is DARK! The kids are little water babies and swim EVERY.SINGLE.DAY! Oh to be young, innocent and free again where summer meant endless amounts of swimming (and loving it) playing with friends and no worries. Le Sigh!
Pink"y" promises,
Allyson

You guys are all so cute!
Way fun :) I love matching with my girls :)
I hate to say it, but I think you might want to venture into the world of Maggie with short hair. If you did a little chin length bob it would be easily tucked behind her ears. She could be in charge of styling it with a headband or a quick brushing. But you could tell her that it's something that Mom wants her to try out since she has a hard time when you style her hair. So you could say, "I don't like hair fights anymore, so I'm putting you in charge of your hair. And the easiest way for you to manage it will be if it's short." Maybe then she'll feel like she's in control of it and it won't look mangey when it's much shorter. I know her hair is beautiful long, but it will grow back and in a few years she'll be over this phase and will be able to handle hair-doing much better than now. Whereas, if this pattern of epic fighting continues without a break, it will just continue to reinforce the negative mindset she has toward hair doing. But if she has a couple of years where she manages it and it's short, chances are she'll beg you to do it sometime out of the blue. I've been thinking on this before you wrote this post...just a few days ago, in fact. Just my two cents. I mean, I'm not a child psychologist or anything! The whole thing might be an epic disaster and you could blame it all on me. :) Who knows?! :)
