    Allie in a Homemade Witch's Hat

    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-allie11Pin

    Not so much.

    crazy-allie10Pin

    She made ridiculous face after ridiculous face.

    crazy-allie9Pin

    She ducked and wiggled and swerved and laughed.

    crazy-allie8Pin

    I took 12 pictures.

    crazy-allie7Pin

    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.

    crazy-allie3Pin

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

    crazy-allie2Pin

    She was scolding me here.

    crazy-allie1Pin

    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.
