beauty and thanks

this week, i'm paying tribute to play makeup...bc i had a full conversation with my friend, karen {molly's momma} and coffee and well, it was all bc of the mad skills of our girls...and the uber fabulous play make up.
sure, there was a mess...
there was icky sticky gooey slimey junk all over the place...and it even had an interesting odor.
it amazes me that my girlies love makeup so much...paige and i are pretty light on the makeup side of things...and we are both far from girly. but b and jk LOVE makeup...smelly and gooey, but mostly, sparkly!

{{for the record, i own no hot pink glitter blush...who thinks of these things???}}
the best part of sharing the makeup with friends...it's all gone in one sitting and there's no fighting for it later. :]

I loved play make up as a kid!

I think it's a rite of girlhood or something. It's also something that I missed because I would have died before putting on makeup when I was little.

That looks like some much fun. I want to join in.

I don't do make up, but my girls both love it. Maybe because they are both theater girls. Not sure but the play makeup gets used alot over here. cute pictures.

Can Baby Boo go to your house to have a makeup playdate? We have white carpet at our new house and so Baby Boo will be deprived. Very cute!

Saw at SITS that you have sick kids. Thought I'd drop by and offer moral support.

I hope everyone feels better soon.

Isn't pink glitter the best? I loved make-up when I was little, too. Now I hardly ever wear it.

Playing dress up and putting on makeup is just part of having girls.

Besides everything is better with glitter!

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
