Painting, make up, and dress up, oh my

Just chilling. Sitting at the kitchen bar, painting canvases. YOu know... It's her new obsession. She now knows where I keep my canvases and on more than one occasion have I come home to her latest creation on one of my "special"-sized and rather expensive canvases. NOT cool!

But on this day, there was supervision occurring. And, they were seriously in the zone!

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better...

Sarah comes over to visit!! Remember Sarah? Our old next door neighbor?! Well, she came by to hang a while. And the girls got a makeover.

Other than my canvases, my personal make up bag is another favorite spot for my kids to pilfer. Nevermind they have drawers of their OWN play make up! No! They prefer Estee Lauder!

AND they prefer "quaintly coral" to "blushing blush", as anything that comes out of a tube but doesn't show up ain't gonna cut it for my two divas!

Ther prefer to be a bit bolder!!

ANd then the miraculous occurred, and Emma Lou showed up too. Oh my. The Heavens opened and the angels started singing! TWO big girls to play with!!

And they were playing a little dress up. This is the first outfit they came out in. Please notice the pursed lips of all three. WHAT is THAT?!

And although I gave them ONE more shot at a pose for the camera,...

the next one involved pulling DOWN those shirts and smiles on the faces.

(except for one! She's still pursing!)
