Don't you wish you were us?

This is Claire after she colored herself with my lipstick and blush. The bottom picture is my bedroom wall and my bathroom. She also got the carpet and mirror.
I'm sure you're thinking, we deserve the parents of the year award, for watching her so closely. We thought she was watching a movie with Bella on our bed. And yes, Bella was in the room for the whole thing and never took her eyes off the show. This child can not be left alone for one minute! Seth spent the night cleaning Claire and then the two of us spent the night cleaning our room.
Seriously, don't you wish you were us?
I can almost hear you all laughing. The mess maker

She wanted to be a little darker I guess. She wins.

Hed, this is the funniest thing ever. She did a really good job with the makeup...very thorough. I think she's going to be a makeup artist when she grows up.

Jenn said...

Okay terrible, but I (someone on the outside of the situation) cannot help but laugh at the picture of Claire! Wow, she did not miss a spot!!

Morgan said...

I once had the same experience. I thought my nephew was in the bedroom watching a movie...but he was actually in the bathroom cutting his hair...oops.

Mike said...

That. Is. AWEsome! Sorry about your carpet.

Beth said...

Oh my freaking heck. That little stinker. When I'm a mom and this happens I seriously think I'll have an aneurism. I did not laugh, I gasped.

Kathy said...

That is hilarious!!!! Well I guess not so much for you guys:)Beth you just wait!!!

Chris aka Nana said...

So once it snowed in our bedroom with a whole lot of baby powder! I feel your pain!

Kira said...

Oh, Amy I feel your pain!! My girls once colored big X's with PERMANENT markers on every single brick they could reach on our fireplace (in our old place) when they were supposed to be watching a movie. I had actually just thought to myself, "My girls are playing SO nice & quiet today!" haha I guess that's what I get for not checking on them when it got a little too quiet.

She definitely did a thorough job! I wonder why she didn't color her forehead?!? Maybe that was coming next or maybe she thought it looked better left au natural!! Either way she did an amazing job!!

That sucks that she got your carpet. At least walls wash. What a bummer. SO SORRY!!!

Delicious! Love it, Yummy you name it and I want to say it. She is DARLING! You are in SOOOOO much trouble!

bevany said...

Oh my gosh. I seriously would have cried. I love that you took pictures.

Liz said...

That is so hilarious! She actually did a great job on the makeup. It's all filled in beautifully. That's so funny about Bella too. Didn't even flinch.

Chuck said...

After I yelled at Bella for not doing my job, I laughed and laughed. How could you not laugh? That's why I got the camera. She left her forehead clear so that she could put the indian headress on, duh.

Jen Jenkins said...

I think she missed a spot...

Nate, Jenny and Amelia said...

Oh my gosh! That is so funny! But only because every parent with kids knows this is going to happen to them some time or another. It's all about the memories, right? At least you grabbed the camera!

Krista said...

oh my gosh!! she did a great job coloring her face!

Lori said...

Oh man, she sounds like Taylor. I keep telling Aaron that I could follow her around all day, but I wouldn't get one other thing done. I can't even begin to tell you all the trouble she has managed to get into since I've had Cameron. Maybe the second child is super spirited? You will treasure that picture forever. I hope it all came off of everything okay.

I haven't been on your blog for a while. The twins are getting so big and they are super cute! Hopefully, they will both sleep through the night for you soon!!!

Karen said...

Hahahahahaha! Markelle did this exact thing when she was that age, and with my brand new Mary Kay Blush that we really couldn't afford at the time. Then she hid under my bed. Oh yes, kids are the greatest!

Amy said...

Oh my gosh!!! That is so hilarious! If it had been one of my girls I wouldnt' think it so funny.

I am a bit behind in blogging, so I had a lot of reading to do. Love the sleeping pic. I loved going into my kid's room and seeing them asleep next to each other.

And congrats on getting out of the house. Next time you go to Costco, call me. We can make it a twin day!
