Snowy Sunday

I bought these puppets from the web site after my sister Joans daughter Laura came back from a trip to Peru and had gotten some from the ladies there. I couldn't make any so nice. If you want to take a look the web site is under the picture.
I had fun last night..... My son and his daughter Carley came over and there is never a dull moment when she  is around. First she told me about the fun she had sliding down the hill with a tube Rick just got. then she looked around here in my computer room and I have my makeup in my vanity here and she decided I needed some sprucing up. first she decided my nails needed polishing .... I din't say anything and she proceded to polish my nails..... (she is 9) first she put some under coat on and then while that was drying she was picking out the color to use and then put some lipstick on me. then she put some dark red polish on my nails ...... I wish I could have laughed but she was so serious and so I just let her. she told me to close my eyes but I felt her doing it and she was polishing from the outside in and then dabbing it on too. then we had to wait for it to dry ( quite awhile as it was pretty thick) then she put some stuff on my eyebrows and she did that the same way.... I have a little brush for that and she was brushing my eyebrows the wrong way and then she rubbed them with her fingers..... then she put some under my eyes and after she said grandma I don't know why but you have dark spots under you eyes so she put some hand cream all over my face..... then she wiped off the lipstick and put 2 more colors on and then she used eye shadow on my eyes and then she looked for the sparkly stuff and I guess she found it .... then she got this fuzzy thing and put it on my hair and then I had to go and show everyone how pretty I was... LOL  she said I don't know why but Grandmas face is kinda red isn' t it..... anyway it was fun
Then she wanted some printer paper to write a story. She wrote the cutest story and even made pictures. then Rick said it was time to go but she wasn't done yet she wanted to play with my little dolls and gave them all names .......I think she wanted to take one home but she didn't ask.... I would have let her Im sure... maybe next time. Anyway she made my day. I miss having kids around. Oh I still have the polish on my nails in case she comes over again today but she probably won't because we are having a nice old fashioned snow storm.
We are just sitting around now after church and lunch waiting for the 2 football games to start. (yes I did wear the polish to church, lol)
Hope you are having a wonderful day. Sandra

The puppets are really cute Sandra, and they must be handmade too. It looks as though a lot of work has gone into them. LOL at your granddaughter`s attempt at putting on your make-up, I wish you had a photo! :o)

I sure enjoyed your "makeup story" - still have a smile on my face :)
She's a very lucky girl to have you for her grandmother.....and I think you're lucky, too. She has always been such a charmer with so much personality!

Sounds like you had great fun with the little one but you should have posted a picture of yourself after your makeover lol. Love Joan.

Like your web friend Joan, I, too, wish there were a picture of the painted lady.  I don't know how you kept a straight face.  I would have cracked up!   What a great experience!
