Send in the clowns.

I have mentioned in the past that Abby has become fascinated with my make up, what little of it I have. It was beginning to become a real problem and I had been forced to stash it up high to keep her busy little fingers out of it. She will still get in to it from time to time, but her interest has greatly diminished or at least I thought it had. Last weekend Abby went for a sleepover with her cousins Courtney and Justin after which she came home with a few Valentine's treats. One being her very own make up kit. "Oh," she exclaimed, "Mommy will be so happy I have my own make up." So home she came with her very own pint sized make up kit. Complete with a sponge applicator, make up brush and several eye shadows in colours not normally found in nature. Abby has had a lot of fun with her first make up kit, so much fun in fact that she felt it necessary to share the love.



Here's Granny in the "make up chair". Abby proved to be rather professional (even if she did get her training at the Mimi school of beauty) while applying Granny's make up although I'm not so sure you'd receive a "spit wash" from one of your higher end salons. She even gently pointed out that the "customer gets to pick" when Granny couldn't make a decision regarding colour.



Lest you think I dodged the bullet, here's our "made over" family portrait.
