Western Night and Phronsie

                                           Awana has theme nights every so often, and the girls were right into western night when the occasion came up. They were so excited to get their outfits on.We turned their room upside down looking for cowgirl outfits . We did o.k., but the girls were really wishing that we lived closer to Grammie Cameron and her amazing bottomless(or so it seems) tickle trunk with its hats, guns and cowboy boots. We even put a bandanna on the love of Emily's life, her cat Sierra for the fun of it!

                                                The poor old fat thing wasn't that pleased with all the hoopla!

                                                      So here is Elle getting her western picture taken...but making sure that everyone looking at the picture noticed her new earrings. We had just taken out her starter ones and she picked the biggest most flamboyant ones she had to make her big girl earring début!!

                                           I mentioned to them that hooking their thumbs into their belt loops was a cowgirl appropriate thing to do..well that brought  their inner cowgirl out in fine style!!

                                The next day was the day that Phronsie had her little operation..she came home a few hours later very groggy. She wouldn't stop shivering so we got her little bed set up in the sunshine streaming through the windows and she drifted in and out quite happily. There was always at least one little girl by her side snuggling her.

                                                            And kissing her..

                                                     When this one got up from her nap the fun really began..I only let it go as long as I snapped these pictures for poor Phronsie's sake..but oh it was funny to watch!  As you can see Phronsie's "Victorian" collar is upside down on her head and Elin is playing with the gauze used to tie it around the dog's neck.

                                      Off Phronsie's head and just checking it out.

                                       Seeing how it looked and felt..as well as lots of jabbering and giggling. Probably because there was 3 big sisters and a mommy watching and giggling too!

                                  Back upside down on the poor dogs unresponsive head.

                                     There was only good intentions as you can see. Her little one year old kisses left no doubt about that! We did have to put Phronsie in her kennel at that point as all Elin wanted to do was snuggle and play nurse!
