Band on the Diaper Run

Photo Shoot and Magnolia's Multiple Personnas

As fashionista #1:

 

 Hollywood windblown look...

 

 

 And as a strawberry diva in the making.

 I've mentioned before that Maggie wants to be a make-up artist (or as a close second-a garbage girl) when she grows up.  I think we've just encouraged the stylist career with this home-based photo session. 

At one point I thought she looked just like one of those toddler pageant girls, scary.  Don't worry, she was just doing this for fun.  At her request, she tried on every wig and got her make-up done too.  Then she went to the park and ate peanut butter and jelly for lunch like all other normal kids.

 

 Finally, my favorite, Magnolia as the totally stoked 70's icon.  She told me later that the really big frizzy wig was the best one. Gotta love that she chose this over the generic long pretty blonde hair.

I love her face in the giant afro wig. Trying on wigs and getting makeovers is so fun, though I can imagine the toddler pageant girl glimpse would be scary thought, lol. :)

She's going to be a real character when she grows up.  I bet she's going to break hearts all over the country just like her mom.

You two are the greatest people. We know each other not, but from what I see on here, you are both great parents and a great inspiration to many people.

See you in Dallas in the future I hope,
