Blondie...

We keep a big wicker trunk in the dining room full of dress-up clothes...I think every child should have dress-up clothes...it keeps the imagination working in full-speed! I remember playing dress-up for hours and hours with my sisters when I was little. We would spend entire afternoons imagining we were pioneer girls...the basement steps were our covered wagon...in the summer we would take our dress-up play outside to the woods...so many "warm fuzzy" memories were created with the simple thing of a dress up trunk!
Almost daily Elsie digs something out of our dress up trunk...James is even starting to enjoy some of the boyish looking hats found in the trunk! We keep long dresses, old Halloween costumes, big floppy hats, magic wands, scarves...and the famous blond wig in our trunk!We bought this wig at a garage sale last fall...the best couple quarters ever spent!

Some days this wig turns Elsie into Taylor Swift...some days Barbie...some days I don't know what to expect...you never know who she will turn into the moment that dress up trunk opens up! I am so thankful my girl has a good imagination...with a good imagination she will always be happy, contented and creative!
