Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse

On Sunday Avery & I joined Kelly & Kate for a girls' afternoon in Portland. The main attraction: Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse presented by the Oregon Children's Theatre. And because Lilly is a free spirit, and "the queen of everything" -- there was a fashion show before the play for all to take part in. Kate was very finely dressed, whereas Avery focused on the "free spiritedness" of the event. Basically, she was a rodeo queen on her trusty steed Black*. Yes, she picked out her own outfit entirely! And Devon encouraged her to take Black with her, even though I was against it. In the hands of a 4-year-old, it was basically a weapon, but she did well with it, and the only incident was brushing the head of the mom in front of us once (it wasn't even a hit, phew!).

Here are some pics from our adventures.

*As in her new favorite movie: The Black Stylin'. Yes, we've tried to get her to say "stallion" -- but it's a little too much for right now, I guess.
