My Intense Paper Bag Princess

This week, at Mad Hatters we are doing the fun story of the Paper Bag Princess. It is not your mama's fairy tale princess story. Emily played the role for me as Lucas seemed to think that I would need "a really big bag" if I was the princess. Humph!

Emily had NO problems playing this princess. She was supposed to look mad (and despite a fit of giggles because her crown kept falling off), Em was a natural.

She's always been intense, this kid of mine. As an infant, she had colic and screamed for hours each night. As a toddler, she would shake her fist and tell people to, "Go AWAY, I'm in a bad mood right now!"

My Em. She keeps me on my toes. Just this weekend she asked when she can get a bikini...last weekend it was high heels. She's 7!!!

Happy Monday. Oh and check out the hatters story...it's pretty hilarious and I was happy with my edit of Emily and the burning castle: @madhatters
That is a fabulous look. My two year has a similar one..... He had THE MOST horrendous colic too.... Don't think he will be asking for bikinis though....

@newbank This kid has got me going gray!! Thanks, lady! #2's are tough:). She's my monkey in the middle. Gosh, though, when she is sweet, she's like butter!

Your children must have so much fun with your projects :) This is supercute.

@kcman5 She was actually supposed to look like this for the role I had her play in my story shot. But, yes, this is a typical Emily face:). Check out the final project shot here: @madhatters

@teiko It's a love hate thing, I think. Thanks, Emilie. Love your idea about carrying this ohoto in the wallet. And this is our house that burned to the ground;-).

@thresheg Thank you sooo much!!!

@tremerryn They are very economical and do not need washing. A win win for this mama. Thanks for the kind fav and words! My kid is a natural drama queen.

Fun and creative!

What a doll and a cute and creative portrait of her
June 23rd, 2014  
Such a brilliant expression, she definitely has the attitude and the same sense of drama as her mummy :-)
June 23rd, 2014  
Cute! Love that she is barefoot.
June 23rd, 2014  
@eyeamlisa I figured that her shoes must have been torched, too. Have you read the story, Lisa. It is so much fun. Gotta check it out. Thanks!!

@roseolivia She is a whole nutha level, this kid. Thanks!!!:)

Mini Amanda in a paper dress! She even stands like you Amanda! She's also a natural at acting like her mum, hard to imagine the giggles in between as she looks so intense. Great job, both of you!
June 23rd, 2014  
Somebody here takes after mama. In knack for acting as well.
June 23rd, 2014  
I think Em is your, "Mini Me"!
June 23rd, 2014  
@skipt07 Golly, she is in ways. Clara looks more like me, though...Em is a good mix of mama and daddy. And she got her personality from my mother in law:).
June 23rd, 2014  
This looks like a seven year old version of you - wonderful and what a fantastic drama queen.
June 23rd, 2014  
She is gorgeous! :-))
June 23rd, 2014  
Fabulous capture and so much attitude in her expression. She's a natural clown or actor.
June 24th, 2014  
Beautiful! That expression is priceless! I hope that Em gets a proper modeling fee. My son had colic too, crying every waking hour for nine months straight. I still have flashbacks!
June 24th, 2014  
She's a natural - you have an actress/model on your hands!
June 24th, 2014  
Such a great pout! Too funny! Love this shot and your funny stories!!!
