Anna Goes Fancy and Crazy

It was a very nostalgic thing for me to pull out the old sponge curlers for Anna this week in an attempt to curl her hair.  Oh, the many, many uncomfortable nights I remember wearing those bad boys - sometimes all over my head, other times up in a ponytail.  Ouch!
Beauty is pain, right?  

Well, not exactly.  Not if you are an Anna girl.  She loved it and said she slept just fine. ♥

 

And by morning, she had unrolled them all herself.  Knowing her hair wouldn't hold curl well, I smothered it in hairspray, which might have been so heavy as to make it go flat sooner.  Ha!  At any rate, it was sweet and curly and clipped galore like Fancy Nancy for her Character Day at school.

She also had a touch of make-up on, sparkly painted nails, a tutu skirt with leggings and boots,

and two bracelets and necklaces before she walked out the door.

She said no one really knew she was supposed to be Fancy Nancy, but she had fun channeling her anyway. Other fun this week at school included Pajama Day Monday and Crazy Day today.  Anna wore mismatched clothes, socks, shoes and an inside-out, backwards shirt, with a scarf and her unbrushed bedhead that I slapped 8 barrettes in to.  Wanting to go the extra mile, Anna thought it would be crazy to go to school with bad breath too, but I vetoed that detail and had her brush her teeth after all, much to her protest. :}
