The Makeover Part I

Josh and Coley decided they needed a 'mancation', so after school last Friday, they drove down to Redding, California (a 2 1/2 our drive) to have In-N-Out burgers and to watch The Avengers. Then they slept in the truck.

I have no pictures of that though, because my husband didn't take any.

It was just Annie and I left at home (Courtney Lee was at her mom's.) so I asked Annie what she wanted to do.

Her response?...She wanted a make-over (My hopes of raising a tomboy are officially dashed.) so we did just that.

And I (of course) took lots of photos...

Her makeover started with a tub (because she's a grimy six-year-old, who hadn't had a bath in three days.)

And to trick her into thinking that a tub was part of her 'makeover', I added bubbles.

And I talked in my best (worst) English-accent the whole time.

And said things like, "Madam, is the temperature of the bawth-water to your liking?"

But she didn't know what that meant so I asked her if the water was too hot instead.

And then I shot. And shot. And shot some more.

And she giggled every time I said something in my best (worst) English-accent.

And then she'd try to quit giggling so she could get back into character (as a highly-sophisticated spa-client).

And she played. And played. And played some more.

And she did lots of funny things just to get a laugh out of me (like she always does.)

And I'd laugh and then quickly try to get back into character (as a sophisticated, spa employee with a really bad English-accent.)

And then it was time to wash her grimy hair that hadn't been washed in three days. (Ok, maybe four, but who's counting?)

And then it was time to get out of the tub because there was lots more 'makovering' to do. (Will try to get those shots posted tomorrow.)

Love these! Makes me look forward to makeover time with my 6 year old granddaughter, who will be doing her best (worst) English accent. Good times!

Cute! and I see you were being a little dare-devil at the same time balancing on the tub for the overhead shots! ;)

Loved all these shots! Sounds like you had a great time!

Such a cutie pie!
I can't believe you stood on the edge of the tub to shoot! I would have fallen in and broken something, like a small child or my back.
