She's got him whipped!

I haven't really made any New Year's resolutions this year. I thought about the whole "exercise" thing--and then I remembered that I hate to exercise. I could try harder to keep my house clean--but I have 6 kids, I don't really want to set myself up to fail on the first day (pretty much the same reason I'm not going with exercising). 


Anyhoo--so many things I should be trying to be better at, so little time to make all of the excuses why I'm not. So, 5 minutes ago (really)...I came up with the perfect resolution! I'm going to blog more this year than I did last year! (Seeing as I only had 16 posts, it won't be too hard.) Like every good resolution, I'm going to start strong. Here you go...

This morning, Sophie found some make-up that I had carefully hidden from her. Okay, I had just shoved it under my bathroom sink, but that's not really the point of this story. After I realized that the only way to avoid a ginormous mess was to let her get it out of her system...I patiently sat while she made me look like a clown on a bender.
Deciding she needed a bit more of a challenge, she packed up her gear and went to find her father. She said, "Daddy, I do it" (pointing to her make-up and then to his face). He politely told her that he didn't need any make-up right now (he usually saves it for special occasions...). They went back and forth a few times, and then she pulled out all the stops. She put her cute little hand in his and led him over to a kitchen chair, patted the chair and said, "Sit here" and then climbed up onto the table and started giggling while she got her make-up ready. He was a goner.


Oh, and yeah...that lumberjack really is Jason.

She decided to paint his eyeBROWS instead of his eyeLIDS...she was probably just going for the bigger surface area.

And then Dad got to join in the fun...he was about as good at applying make-up as she was. :)
