Just Silly

It’s the silliest things around here that get the biggest laughs!  Simple fun!  And who couldn’t use a dual purpose for a huge, poofy tutu?  This simple idea turned my sweet 5 year old into a “monster” that chased around her siblings while they screamed their heads off.  I think Daddy got a video for posterity’s-sake.  As you can imagine, this was totally *not* a posed photo… and I couldn’t …
