all dolled up

this is the bday of all bday's for jada...
bc it's the bday of makeup. it's all she asked for...
{except a drum, which i made serious threats}

around here, being 4 means you can get play makeup...
5 means chewing gum...i know, silly, but it's just the way it is!

so check out the ultimate makeover, 4 year old style...
the girl has style...and some snot on her nose, but she's got style.
and, she shared...on her own with brooke!
{see the eyelids...this is how you pose for pics when you have eye shadow on...that's what brooke told me, anyway.}

the real bday is this week, but auntie meg and uncle jon sent along a super shiny hot pink box full of makeup love...that is already all used up.
well, it was fun while it lasted, for one day.
{thanks aunt meg, uncle jon, jack and finn}

Oh my goodness. It is a very big week indeed. I think you have the makings of a few models in your house.

I'm glad I finally learned how to model my eye shadow. Do you think they could teach me how to put on make-up too?

WHat cuties! Little Bear loves makeup too! I can't stand little kid makeup cause it smells weird and gives me a rash when she puts it on me... but little girls sure do love it, don't they!

She must really love her make up to have it all used up already.
I think it's a girl thing!!!

She did a great job for almost 4. I have a similar rule with the gum...I have told Baby Boo that until she is in big girl panties, she cannot chew gum. (I have to give her a little incentive, right?) Hope Jada has a great birthday!

You can improve on beauty like that, but they certainly enhanced it! ;o)

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
