Days passed before she asked again and it was Saturday night and Billy and I were going out with friends. Mommy was putting on make up and the girls pleaded to use their own chalky, plastic and strangely odd smelling kid-make-up.
They jumped up on my sink and suddenly became very serious. You can tell by Alayna's face that this was a special time and she must concentrate. They took turns applying purple and pink eye shadow.
Alayna would say to Cailin, "Close your eyes and raise your eyebrows." Cailin just squinted repeatedly and Alayna became quite frustrated.
Alayna then showed her how she must keep her eyes closed. They both continued to get frustrated because the color was not showing up. So they just added more. It was a wonderful memory that I just had to record. My little girls wanting to be grown up. As it turns out even after eye makeup remover and rubbing alcohol and baby wipes...the color still lingered.
As I was uploading the pictures of this momentous occasion, my littlest girl was down at my ankles and I noticed her hands felt gooey. Yes, apparently the make up made its way out of the cabinet in my bathroom and onto the playroom floor. Ella dug her fingers in the squishy bright pink lipstick and dabbed it all over her lips.
