Here is a picture of my youngest daughter, Elizabeth, having polished off an ice cream. If you think her face looks bad, you should see how much ice cream was smeared all over her hands.
There’s no deep or intellectual back-story to this picture (“thank goodness” you’re no doubt thinking!). It was taken on Thursday when I treated both my girls to ice cream after the school run, it being a glorious day. After a few minutes there was a squeal from Helen, my other daughter, who insisted I check on the mess Elizabeth was making.
This is what I found. I asked if I could take a photograph and she was very too happy to oblige.
By the way, do excuse the state of her fringe. I recently took Elizabeth to a hairdresser but she had a tantrum and refused to have her hair cut. Oddly, she would allow me to cut the fringe and this was the result.
I hope you like the image. As is my habit each Sunday, I have linked this post to the #MySundayPhoto linky hosted by the fantastic Photlaife blog. I recommend clicking on the badge below and visiting the linky.

Thanks Rachel. She certainly does have a cheeky grin and she uses it to great effect.
Such a cheeky face! I can’t believe how grown up she’s looking now.
I wouldn’t have even noticed the fringe if you hadn’t mentioned it! My daughter has never had a haircut (!). My husband just trims the ends every few months – which is why it comes to below her bum!
I have a cousin who went for years without cutting her hair. She was maybe 20 when it was finally cut? Quite how she managed all that hair I will never know! But yes, little Izzy is growing up at quite some speed.
She looks so so happy but then I think Ice cream has that effect on even the biggest of kids. We may have followed an ice cream this week to get one 🙂
The worst thing is when you can’t resist temptation and buy an ice cream for yourself.
Such a cutie pie 🙂 It looks like the ice cream was properly enjoyed!
Yes, it was enjoyed. Even the bits she actually ate.
What a cheeky little monkey – such a great grin ? I wouldn’t have noticed the fringe!
See, I should have kept my mouth shut. Doesn’t look too bad now, but you should have seen it when it was first cut. Wasn’t particularly good at all!
Very cheeky photo, my youngest daughter gets in such a mess when eating an ice cream…I guess it shows she enjoyed it
Thank you for linking up
She certainly did enjoy it. There was almost as much on her hands as her face.
The only way to eat ice cream, really – messily! 🙂
Yes, she actually managed to eat some of it too.
What a great photo, she looks so happy (and very pleased with herself). I have to admit, I look a bit like this after I’ve eaten chocolate ice-cream too 🙂 #MySundayPhoto
Well, Tara, I will buys you some napkins! Possibly a two litre tub of ice cream too.
Saw the fringe and thought “I have hundreds of photo’s just like that” haha! and with ice cream, just too adorable #MySundayPhoto
It is one of her better pictures, although I am very biased.
gorgeous photo, she really looked like she enjoyed every last bit of the ice cream
Yes, she did. Even the bits that made it into her mouth!
She most certainly did enjoy every last bit.
hehehe! She looks so happy! Such a cutie x
She plays up for the camera very well indeed. Thanks for commenting.
Ah what a lovely post-icrecream photo – I t looks like she thoroughly enjoyed it!
No question, she enjoyed the ice cream!
Amazing how ice cream can bring so much happiness! Love her expression here =) #mysundayphoto
Isn’t it just? I think the smile says it all.
Well she certainly seemed to have enjoyed that ice cream! So cute!
Oh she certainly did, no question of that! Thanks for commenting.
That’s a fabulous photo – love her big happy grin with all the ice-cream around her face 🙂
Now that is a happy, summer face 🙂 Love it! Hopefully there will be many more days that are glorious enough to warrant ice creams!
Oh I certainly hope so. Much easier when I can just bundle the kids outside to play!
Amazing image!!
