Girls (and boys) Night

Alyssa has started calling Girls Night, "G.N." around the boys, because she's afraid they'll find out about what we're doing and be jealous. It's so cute when she's talking to me, and then she'll say, "And I was thinking that maybe for..." whisper, "...G.N..." normal voice, "we could do our nails and our toe nails, and then we could - Ethan, don't look at me. You didn't hear that. You didn't hear what I said."

So last night for Girls Night we had a makeover night. We actually let the boys join in, since they both took late naps and weren't ready to go to sleep at a normal time. We soaked, scrubbed, and lotioned our feet; did Mary Kay's Satin Hands, then did each other's make up. (We didn't put makeup on the boys, though.) Following the tradition of Girls Nights everywhere, we used way too much eye shadow and blush, and we got mascara on each other's cheeks and eye lids while trying to put it on. By the way, have you ever had a six year old apply your mascara for you? It's an experience you'll never forget.

Here's our finished product photos we took of each other. I wanted to get one of all of us together, but the boys wouldn't hold still.
