So Allie.

Allie is an interesting and charismatic and tenacious little creature. She never takes no for an answer.

N-E-V-E-R.

She\’d rather lay on the floor, kicking and screaming, than accept a situation she does not find pleasing.

Because I\’m the mother, I outlast her, but it always takes much longer than I think is acceptable.

Despite her intense and strong-willed nature, Allie is affable the majority of the time. She\’s giggly and makes jokes a lot. Fun times.

The girls each made a black witch\’s hat while I was making the one for this post. They both used paint and glitter and garland, and they both came out pretty cute.

I wanted to get a photo or two of Allie sporting her fancy witch\’s hat.

She calls it her birth\’ay hat, which is always followed by I can have some birth\’ay cake now?

And then I have to crush her hopes and dreams and tell her that it\’s not her birthday, and her hat is a witch\’s hat not a birthday hat.

She says, No Mommy. It\’s a birth\’ay hat. and she pats my leg as if to comfort me in my ignorance.

That kid.

So anyway, we sat down to get a photo of her in her hat. The living room was well-lit, and I was sure it was take about five minutes to get the perfect shot.

Well.

crazy-allie11crazy-allie11Pin

Not so much.

crazy-allie10crazy-allie10Pin

She made ridiculous face after ridiculous face.

She ducked and wiggled and swerved and laughed.

I took 12 pictures.

Exactly 0 of them came out in focus with a nice expression and the hat in view.

As you can see, these are not my best ever photos.

{sigh}

\”Say cheese!\” I said. \”Look at the camera, Allie!\” \”Allie? Please look at Mummy.\”

Nada.

This one is pretty good, I thought. You can\’t see the hat, but it\’s almost in focus and a nice expression.

She was scolding me here.

I wish I got a kiss out of all that puckering, but I didn\’t.

And this is why there is no post on making a witch\’s hat without a giant brim. Maybe someday.
