all because I wanted to show off Claire's fashion sense...

Olivia's been picking out her own clothing for almost a year now, so we're used to the weird combinations she comes up with. But recently, Claire has joined in on voicing her fashion sense. And let me tell you, the girl can pick one fancy outfit!

I started out just wanting to get a picture of Claire's outfit. I love the lighting the side of our house gets mid-afternoon, and closeup, you can't see all our junk...

Olivia not so into the whole deal

But before I could really get to documenting the beauty of the outfit... WAR breaks out! To set the scene - Claire is using a random stick from the yard to play music on the two trash cans we have. Outfit of choice for this - Blue jackets jersey type top, ruffly tweed skirt, lace socks, and polka-dot shoes. Olivia wants the stick. Olivia will have no part in finding her own stick.

Olivia tries to rationalize with Claire. Loudly and up in her face

Mommy's done with being outside, and tells the girls we're headed in for lunch. Olivia puts up a small fight, but goes in. Claire wants to stay outside.

IT'S SPRING!!

It's spring, and time for the winter blahs to leave the building! The girls and I have been spending tons of time outdoors - I've been photographing everything and everything I can - and hey, last night was our first wedding of the season. YAY!

So, to celebrate spring, here's Olivia's big achievement. She did this at the park on the last day of winter... went straight to this ladder, and climbed it all by herself. Now we can't keep her off of it.
