My sister-in-law commented on how Stella looked like Shirley Temple. I can’t believe I had not seen it. But after she said that, I kept seeing the resemblance. Except for the hair of course. When my friend Katrina came over last night, I immediately put her to work. Her last task was to roll Stella’s hair. She said I gave her the hardest job. I did. She’s a tender headed girl. But she slept on her sponge rollers and woke up with beautiful little corkscrew curls but unfortunately our hairspray didn’t make it through pre-k. But even without the tight curls, I think she did an awesome job. Not to mention she wasn’t feeling too well.

And while this is probably a stage mom’s dream costume, I did not force it on her. I may have swayed by talking about how cute it would be but she ended up getting excited about it and has been going around singing Shirley songs. She started tapping during the shoot. Wish I had video:/

The great thing is that it was a $2.97 costume! Goodwill again! We had her dress shoes and bobby socks and I changed the original ribbon for a sash from an old costume. We ended up doing quite a few different Shirley versions using old dresses that are too short but perfect for this look. Once I get to take a breath (it’s been a busy day) I’ll post some more as well as a few of the twins in their costumes.

Happy Halloween everyone!!!
