Mom's Makeover

This is Kaitlyn's way of doing my makeup. Notice the drawing on the forehead that goes a little into my hair?And what about the little chunks of purple eyeshadow on my right eye? Most of the makeover was done with lip gloss. Kaitlyn has alot fun putting "make up" on me. She insists that I "go to sleep" on the couch while she does it. What do you think, should I wear it to church like this?

Girls with Curls

Our Girls are so girly... I can't relate because I was wearing baseball caps and playing war with my brothers when I was little. But it's very cute that my daughters want to "be pretty" all the time. Nearly every day they want to put on play makeup, and play "spa". The other day Sarah wanted to curl her hair, so we went and bought some cheap sponge rollers and we put them in their hair and took pictures.

Family Home Evening Fun

Last night we had Family Home Evening. Sarah was in charge of conducting the music, Alan was in charge of the story, and I was in charge of the activity. Sarah picked a song out of the Children's Song book and learned it so that she could teach it to us in FHE, and Alan picked a story out of the "Friend" magazine.

For our activity, I decided to have us make Peach Pie together. A friend down the street has a peach tree and she brought over a nice bag of peaches for us on Saturday. I looked up a peach pie recipe on allrecipes.com. I decided to make the ingredients a scripture guessing game. I looked up the ingredients by name in the scripture on LDS. org and then had us all look up the scriptures to figure out the ingredients-just like the "scripture cookies" that everybody does. Only this time it was Peach Pie. We had fun, and the pie was delicious!!
