Make-up

I thought Kyia was mischievous when she was little but Brooklyn is ten times worse. Kyia was given some make-up for her birthday and she thinks she has to wear it wherever she goes. We've told her that the only time she can wear it is when she is playing dress up. I don't like the stuff. It has caused a few too many arguments in our home. Brooklyn has caught on to how fun it is and is always trying to get into Kyia's makeup as well. I need to just throw it away. Kyia was at preschool the other day and I was cleaning when I realized that Brooklyn was awfully quiet. I called her name a couple of times which usually brings her running but this time, there was no Brooklyn. I went looking for her, but like I mentioned in an earlier post, she hides when she is doing something she isn't supposed to. My looking in the door of each room wasn't enough so I went into each room and started looking around. I found Brooklyn in the corner of her room behind her dresser playing with Kyia's make-up. She climbed up onto the bathroom counter and got it down. (she is so strong and can get up onto the counter just by pulling herself up!) She had it all over and a big smile on her face to go with it. As I walked up to her she said "pretty".
All I could do was laugh. Yes Brooklyn, you are pretty, with your purple-glittery eye and all. :)

Finger paint

We have a blank wall (one of many in our house), in the girls playroom. I've been trying to think of something to do with it so I decided it would be fun to hang some of the girls art work in there. I had them finger paint some pictures for me and this is what we came up with.

Kyia was a little more careful with the paint than Brooklyn was.

The finished product. I took the pictures they painted, cut them out into animals and framed them. I think they turned out pretty cute!

Easter egg hunt: 2010

I'm sure I'm the very last person to blog about Easter. I'm such a procrastinator. We had a community Easter egg hunt which the girls loved. Neither were quite sure what to do at first but once they got the hang of it, there was no stopping them. Kyia was a little intimidated by all the people there. Brooklyn didn't care about getting anymore eggs once she found out what was in them, she shoveled that candy in her mouth as fast as she could.

Brooklyn figuring out what to do.

We were also invited over to a friends house where they did a little Easter egg hunt for the kids. They had spread them all around the upstairs so when we got there, we ate dinner and tried to keep the kids from going upstairs. While we were talking, I noticed Brooklyn was not around and was being very quiet so we went looking. It took us a minute since she was being so quiet but Mike ended up finding her hiding behind one of the doors with an armful of easter eggs, half of them opened and a mouthful of candy. She's been hiding latley when she knows she's doing something wrong. Sneaky girl but it was pretty funny.
