"We're practicing POSTURE so we can become princesses."
Megan and Maya were balancing heavy books on their heads as they paraded around the family room in their princess dresses. Their mother told me that each had gotten some money for Christmas. They studied online catalogues and finally found these dresses that fit their budgets. So they decided to buy them. Now they like to practice Princess skills --- like walking with perfect posture and having tea parties using their best manners.

When I went in to spy on them and take these pictures, they had set a beautiful table and even had Classical Music playing for ambience. These are such creative girls! Watching hours and hours of television or playing endless video games are just not permitted in this family except for brief periods in the evening. So, after homeschool activities and chores are done, these girls spend their free time creatively entertaining themselves. On my recent visit to their house in Pennsylvania, I got to watch this creative play for five days straight.
A different day they spent drawing, coloring and designing paper dolls. Megan told me that she really loved the book I sent them for Christmas about when I was young and loved to play with paper dolls. "We're making costumes, and sportswear and glamorous evening dresses --- just like in your book, Grandma!"
She knew just what to say to melt her Grandma's heart.
"We just aren't having a drawing contest!" added Maya.
Good girls! They understood the message of the story! (I love these girls!)
