Big Night Out With Daddy Prep Time!

 This past Friday Daddy took us on a VERY special date.  Tomorrow we will post all about that but for tonight Mama wanted to share our Big Night Prep!  Thank you, Teti for helping us get all dolled up to feel special for our Daddy date!  It was so fun getting to wear some of Mommy's make up and gettin' our hair did!
 The best part for me (Anna Jane) was testing Mommy's "long wearing lipstick..."
 So you know, it lasted through 6 chicken nuggets, 52 Skittles and a chocolate milkshake - and several hundred kisses.  It's a winner!
 Mommy tells us that we put more effort into date night with Daddy than she usually does!
 Ha ha, nah - that's a total lie.  Y'all know Mama can't leave the house without her "face" on!
 Aren't we all beauties?
And for the final touch - the upside pony and double hair bow!  Glam-tastic!
Mommy would love to hear what some of y'all think about this - now that we're getting older and starting to ask questions that actually require thoughtful answers...
So you know our Babi rarely wears makeup?  Yet Mama literally (LITERALLY!) does not leave home without it!  How does that happen?!  So we ask Mommy, "Why do you wear makeup?"  And Mommy has to think about this - how does Mama answer this so that she's not implying that WE need makeup?  If Mama says it just makes her feel good - does that mean we're going to think you need makeup to feel good?  If Mama says it's because she's 29(5x) old and her skin's not as pretty as ours is without makeup - does that mean that we think women aren't pretty without makeup?  Is Mommy overthinking this?!?  What's the best way to instill a positive self image in us so that Mommy doesn't screw us up and cost us thousands of dollars in makeup and counseling down the road?!  HOW? HOW? HOW!?!?!?!
Seriously - how?
Can't wait to show you the big reveal!  We'll break it up to make your visits worth while!  Ha!
Love,
Lilly, Anna and Jack

Good thing Teti managed to get most of Anna's self applied lipstick off her little lips!

Also, you're way over thinking it. Just tell the girls that make up is mostly for dressing up... If they ask why you put it on everyday, say that you wear it when you dress up for work. I wouldn't attach make up to beauty at all.
