Freaky Monday

Front row, left to right: James and Elise. Or is that L to R Elise and James??!! Either way Emma, who undoubtedly played a director's role in all this, is in the background.

File this in the "stories to share with future dates" file:

I was working in the kitchen Monday afternoon when Elise's voice preceded her entry by about two seconds. (She'll be a great freeway driver, I'm sure.)

"Hey, Mom, look at me! I'm James!" Were it not for James' favored Denver Broncos shirt I would hardly have noticed the change in Elise's normal summer get-up, I confess.

So good thing James, ever the method actor, came giggling and bouncing into the room. "Look at me, Mom! I'm Elise!" He raced off as soon as I reached for the camera. Emma caught him for this next shot, then she took the others.

Now, should I be worried? There's an infamous story in my family of the ONE time I dressed up my little brother Jeffy as a girl, but I'm pretty sure he was too young to object. Pretty sure.

Yep, this is a perfect James impersonation.
