Make-Up Required.

lil B and I headed to Target last night to pick up a few items. lil B excitedly said she would dress herself. (She has become Miss independent lately and prefers to dress herself. However, she has not mastered the finer points of style...like matching.) I noticed her ill attempt to coordinate, but figured it was one battle I did not want to fight this particular night. Besides, it was just Target.

Once in Target, I realized lil B's shirt was not only on inside out, but it was also backwards. Add this to the fact that her shirt did not match her pants...we were quite a sight.

Heading to check out, we ran into my tri-inke. Tita K noticed lil B's eyes looked purple. I mentioned lil B had not been feeling well, and that was probably the culprit. But as I looked closer, I noticed how purple her eyes did look. I asked her if she put on make-up before we left. Yes, indeed she had.

In the car, lil B informed me one should not leave the house without make-up. Not sure where that came from, but I think we have other things to worry about than makeup...

...like making sure our shirts are not on inside out.

Wordless Wednesday - Is This Cheating?

All Hail Mary & Her Lambs.

lil B is learning the Hail Mary in school. This evening we practiced reciting the prayer. It went a little something like this:

lil B: 'Hail Mary, full of grace, her fleece was white as snow.'

I bet Mother Mary had a good laugh.

It's The Most Wonderful Time...

The local radio station has begun playing Christmas songs. lil B and I spent most of the day listening, singing and dancing...lil B can not resist her inherent need to dance. ;)

I could hear sheer excitement in her voice. She completely gets Christmas this year. The birth of our Savior and good ole St. Nick.

And what makes the holiday season even better? Egg-nog (with Southern Comfort of course) has returned to store shelves.

Aww yeah. Life is good.

It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap- happiest season of all

Why #867

Why is it when we have something to do lil B just wants to stay home?. And when we are having a nice quiet day at home, she is bored and wants to go somewhere?.

Serenity now.

Wordless Wednesday - My First

No words...whew...hard for a mama who feels like she is always talking. This might be nice.

Why #745

WHy is it when I ask lil B to grab me some toilet paper, she actually brings me a ply and not a new roll. However, if she drops a dab of toothpaste on the sink counter - she uses half a roll to wipe it up.
