Princess Paint and Mouse Ears

Abbey wanted to have her face painted at the Princess Faire after spotting another girl with it. I thought it would last about 45 minutes and then we would be wiping it off, but she truly loved it and we left it on for 3 days until the last vestiges were washed away during a shampoo. She wanted pink, glitter, and big curliques, and sat perfectly still as they did it.
She also knew precisely which pair of mouse ears she wanted and wore them non-stop.
Watching her watch the parade was amazing. She calls it the Hip Hip Hooray!!! She was dancing around waving to all the characters and gobbling up spoonfuls of Avonlea's mint chip ice cream. Delightful with a capital D.
