Clown Face

Last week, we got together with our friends over at DoW. We foolishly thought the girls could play on their own for seven minutes, but we were wrong. This is what we fould when they emerged from the bedroom. Sophia exclaimed, "Mama! I helped ShirleyJean look like a clown!"
Holy gasp!
Honestly, it was one of those parenting moments where I didn't know whether to laugh or cry...so I laughed til I cried. After all, was any real damage done? Nah. She still has all her hair, and it was "washable" marker, so, I will joyfully explain to strangers that no, the remaining marker around her eyes and hairline is not bruising...just markers "clown make up."
