Make-up? For a 4th Grader???

...And a 5th grader? Katie & Hailey both brought home play make-up from their school gift exchange. I agreed that they could put it on, as long as they removed it before leaving the house or allowing any non-family-members to see them. Here is how Hailey looked AFTER removing her make-up. Note to self: spend any Christmas money on new camera.




That is not a natural lip color. And I need to introduce Hailey to oil-free eye make-up remover. All of the darkness you see is an unnatural remnant of make-up not easily removed with tear-inducing facial cleanser.

Not to be outdone, Hannah found my mascara--not toy mascara--and applied it, as only a five-year-old can do. Here are the results:

I don't think Hannah applied a even a smidgen on her lashes, do you? In addition, she has the Solomon holiday hair. We don't have to go anywhere, so Carl and I neither one have done much with our hair today. In fact, over the years I have frequently called my genetically red-headed husband "Heat Miser." (Both of his parents are red heads, though he is merely ruddy complected with dirty auburn hair).

My "Heat Miser" reference pertains to the hair, not the belly...or the wardrobe. For a trip down memory lane, check out the Heat Miser video in the next blog entry.
