royalty

Lucy got a package of these "crowns" (aka New Year's Eve hats)
from my mom
(actually, I think they came from my grandparents in Alabama).

Anyway,
they are royal adornments as far as she is concerned
and for all who are willing,
are required to wear them around the house.

Sadly,
it's only Mom and Dad who are loving enough to indulge her.
Poo-poo on the big kids who don't play along!

Dad is king, of course,
Lucy is a self-appointed princess.
Well, her daddy gave her that title long ago, actually.

And me?
Well, I'm the queen of the house.
And of the world.
(I'm way more like Lucy than I care to admit)

And when I was taking pics of Macy hoola hooping
the other day,
Lucy jumped in and had to have her camera time too.

And then she insisted on taking my pic,
which consists of her holding one eye shut with one hand,
and trying to balance the camera with the other...
she then asks me to push the button.
Needless to say, she needed more help than that
and Macy jumped in to help.

Have a peaceful Tuesday, ya'll!!
