Make-oo

"Make-oo" is Jane's word for make-up.
This morning was the usual bustle to get ready for church. Our bishop had asked everyone to make an effort to be to church five minutes early. We were on target for this at 8:40 this morning. The girls were ready, diaper bag was packed. Eric and I where just finishing up ourselves. I was taking a little longer than usual to straighten some bits on my hair. Usually we put a movie on so that Jane stays neat for longer. That was the intention today as well. You can see what good intentions lead to:


This picture demonstrates how much Jane loves the stuff and is also a testament to her powers of observation, considering I don't wear the stuff more than once a week, unless my mother is in town. As you can see, she did try to put the mascara on her eye-lashes. You can see how she missed in this pictures (it's even in her hair), but as I was cleaning it off, it was also on her eye lashes! You can't really tell from this picture how she managed to get get half a tub of Bare Minerals eye shadows on her eyelids, shirt, skirt, tights, shoes, the rug, the couch, and in my make-up bag. She also had time to curl her eyelashes. I'm glad I don't keep lipstick and the lip gloss is always in my coat pocket.

Of course she had to get in trouble over this one. But BOY it was so hard not to laugh!

Speaking of not laughing, we also went to a huge Creche display in our area tonight and Jane was the most obstinate she's been to date! After some too-long delayed discipline, I was talking to Jane very seriously in the corner about when it is time to obey and when it is time to be silly. She was upset and still had tears on her face when we heard a funny noise behind us. Jane interrupts with "Mommy, you fart?"

It was the worst of times, it was the best of times! (I know that's backwards, but it's fitting when you have a toddler!)

Did I mention we were 20 minutes late to church?
