The Destroying Angel

Today Tressa came over! Whew, I'm exhausted already. We went over to Muriel's so the Cecily's girls could help her arrange her Christmas Village.

"Oh, don't you look just like princess," Muriel said.

"Well, she may look like a princess," I said, "but she is a destroyer on two legs."

She runs around creating messes, disassembling , and scattering things. And she is especially quick at doing these things if it is something she knows she shouldn't touch or has been told, "no-no". Cecily told me that last night after she had been put to bed and Cecily had gone to bed too, she got up, took of all her clothes, climbed out of bed, took a blue marker and wrote all over the floor, doors, and walls in the hall and then jumped on Saylem and Treyjen who were in their beds and asleep and woke them up because she wanted to play with them.

Doesn't that picture of her at the top of the page look like she is extremely gratified because she got away with doing something she was told not to?
Most of the time she looks angelic. Looks can be deceiving.

Cecily has been asked to play Mary, the mother of Jesus for church this Sunday and sing "Mary's Lullaby." She needs to have a "Mary" costume. So we were trying to make that costume when she came over today. Cecily laid down on the floor so I could draw on the fabric where I needed to cut it to make the costume. Cecily and I thought it was extremely silly and we were laughing so hard I could barely take the picture. We took these pictures for you Anna. We knew you would appreciate it. (Can you tell Ces is laughing?)
