The Secret To Good Makeup….
Wednesday, June 9th, 2010
“The secret to good makeup is not over doing it” says Madelyn to herself while applying her “makeup” the other day.
Those wise words were apparently spoken by Ruby of “Max and Ruby” fame.
Truer words (in regards to makeup) have never been spoken.
“I have a wonderful make-up crew. They’re the same people restoring the Statue of Liberty.” ~Bob Hope
“I will not retire while I’ve still got my legs and my make-up box.” ~Bette Davis
“Use a make-up table with everything close at hand and don’t rush; otherwise you’ll look like a patchwork quilt.” ~Lucille Ball
“The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.” ~Albert Einstein
“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30

Wherein Katelyn gets the “Rachel”
Sunday, April 25th, 2010
My girls decided to cut their own hair last week. Don’t ask me why because I thought we were past that stage. Thankfully the damage isn’t too bad.
Okay, first of all, this girl needs to stop growing. She looks fourteen in this picture. See the shorter hair that is framing her face? Yep, that’s what she added herself. It was all one length before. She apparently was going for a “Rachel” hair cut.
Here she decides to start having fun with the fact that I’m taking pictures of her misbehavior. But, if I didn’t do that what kind of mommy blogger would I be?
Think she’s sorry???
Don’t answer that!
Here’s some shots of Madelyn’s hair. Who couldn’t be bothered with us while watching t.v. Or, she may have been sitting on her little potty at the time and didn’t like the fact that I was taking her picture.
But…whatever, right?
She seemed to only have chopped a little chunk of her hair. Her hair has various layers in it since it’s still growing out so this chunk blends in a little better than Katelyn’s layers do.
You can see the chopped layer where it ends right beneath her ear.
Do you think they have futures as hair stylists?
I wanted to share with you some of the funny stuff the girls have been saying recently.
Madelyn insists on being called “Diego”. If you call her “Madelyn” she will calmly say ” My name is Diego.” If Katelyn refuses to call her that she’ll burst into tears and go into hysterics over it.
The other thing Madelyn is going around doing these days is stopping and shouting at me (or whoever else is near by) “ You’re out of the herd!!!
She gets this line from ” Ice Age” which both of the girls adore. She’ll only say it on her terms though. If we stand on our head, bribe and beg her to yell ” You’re out of the herd!!” she refuses to say it.
Madelyn, who is usually my quiet and shy child, found herself quite fascinated by another little girl at dance class the other day. The little girl was playing a hand held video game and her bangs kept falling in to her eyes. Madelyn kept reaching over and wiping her bangs out of her eyes. The little girl just ignored her and kept playing her game. Finally Madelyn looked at me and said ” Does she talk?”
Katelyn has been obsessed with death here lately. She keeps asking me when she’s going to die. Then she’ll say she doesn’t want to die and that she just wants Jesus to take her to Heaven. I’m seriously running out of ideas to get her mind off the subject. I keep telling her she doesn’t have to worry about that right now because it’s not going to happen any time soon. But she’s the type that wants answers now.
Katelyn walked around the grocery store with four fingers in the air the other day. When I asked her what she was doing she said she wanted everyone to know how old she was.
She seriously embarrassed me with a comment at church a few weeks ago. We had been ooohhing and aahing over this tiny newborn girl. She was super dainty and adorable. We then walked over to talk to another acquaintance that has a baby boy who’s about six months old. He’s big and chubby and super cute. As we were walking away she said very loudly ” Mama, I want a cute baby. Not like that one”. I wanted the floor to swallow me up. I don’t know if the mom heard her or not because I just kept walking. I know what Katelyn was trying to say and it wasn’t that she didn’t think the little boy was cute. What she meant was that she wants a newborn, tiny baby. She doesn’t want a big, older baby. I also explained to her that she can’t say things like that because it will hurt people’s feelings.I don’t know if she gets that yet.
I’m still walking around on a pregnancy high. I think it’s too early for me to really start feeling any pregnancy symptoms. I have been very tired but that’s it. I didn’t have morning sickness with either of my two girls so I have my fingers crossed that I won’t get it this time around either. I’m planning to post all about the day I found out I was pregnant.
For now I need to go to bed!
Out Of The Mouth Of Babes (Wordful Wednesday)
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
Me: Why is Cinderella over here in the corner by the bird cage?
Madelyn (2.5 years)- Because she’s in time out. She be naughty.
Me: Oohhhkay
Katelyn (4 years) to Madelyn: I have to go potty. Lets count to five and wait for daddy to come out so I can go in.
Madelyn: Ok
Katelyn and Madelyn together: One, two, three, four, five…
Madelyn: …..Six, seven..
Katelyn: No! We’re only doing FIVE.
*********************************************************************
Katelyn to me: Mama, are there a lot of numbers in Maxachussetts? (that’s how she says Massachusetts! lol)
Me: Uh….sure.
*********************************************************************
Katelyn to Madelyn while in the tub: Madelyn did you know that if you’re blind you can put mud on your eyes and you won’t be blind anymore? That’s what Jesus did. He put-ed mud on a man’s eyes that was blind and then he could see!
Me to Katelyn: Yes, Jesus did that because he was Jesus and he did miracles like that during Bible times but that kind of miracle really doesn’t happen today.
Madelyn to Katelyn: Yeah, becauth(Maddy has a bit of lisp every now and then! So cute) ….if you put mud in your eyes……….you will have muddy eyes!!
(So much truth to this statement!)
*********************************************************************
While watching ” A Baby Story” the other day ( still not sure how wise of an idea it was to watch it with the girls around ) Katelyn was captivated by the woman giving birth. As she was pushing Katelyn looked at me and said in complete awe and wonder ” IS THE BABY IN THE MOMMY’S BUM???”
