Extreme Makeover, Courtesy of Ella and Dawson

The kids have been asking if they can put makeup on me, and every time they ask I've just gotten out of the shower and we're on a tight schedule to get the day rolling so Ella can get to school. So I finally thought of it the other day when we didn't have to get out the door, and before I showered - clearly I was going to need one after they got a hold of me. I don't have a ton of makeup in a bunch of fun colors, so they were a little disappointed and kept asking for lipstick and eyeshadow, but they used some interesting products in some interesting places. I looked like I was in drag. They applied a liberal amount of blush to their own little faces too. Ella asked me to paint her nails and of course Dawson always wants to join in. Thank goodness he has some brothers now or Ella will have him turned into her little protege' in no time. I loved putting makeup and nail polish on my Grandpa when I was young, my Dad use to let us torture him too (hey, that gives me an idea, maybe Todd should be on the receiving end of the next "'makeover"). My Grandpa would even let me cut his hair! I wasn't supposed to tell my Grandma that, I was sworn to secrecy, but something tells me she may have had her suspicions. I can't imagine a haircut performed by an 8 year old wouldn't be obvious.
