Repurpose your empty makeup containers

 

Have a few empty makeup containers?  Wash them out, dry them, fill with nail polish and let dry overnight!  Your little girlie (Or boy) will absolutely love playing with them!  My Mom did this for me when I was little and all my girlfriends who see the idea think it's genius!  

This can be be really inexpensive if you use dollar store compacts and nail polish.  I gave my daughter some makeup brushes from Forever 21 and a makeup bag to carry everything in.  She loves it!  We play makeup all the time.

Ruby & I got to enjoy lunch with Noah the other day.  I brought Chick Fil-A.  I started talking to another Mom about her son's very critical & serious peanut allergy only to be told that Chick Fil-A frys all their food in peanut oil... Ugh mortified!  Ha ha

  DJ came to visit!  He flew down to celebrate his 27th birthday!  We went to Disneyland, the beach, made cinnamon rolls, drank lots of soda, listened to Christmas music & laughed a lot.  Noah absolutely loved having DJ here!  We moved Noah's bed into the guest room & he slept next to DJ every night.  The kids would constantly hang out in DJ's room.  I'm so happy he flew down to see us!

Noah learned to climb our car!

We went to the international street fair!  We walked there & probably shouldn't have... it was way too hot.  We spent $10 on delicious lemonade, $10 on Noah's "Hulk" face painting & another $20 on who knows what!  

 Noah was pleased!

Coke's good for toddlers... right!??

soccer & a few other pictures

This lady kills me!  She'ss into everything!  I can't keep anything clean or organized.  If I straighten it, she messes it up.  If I wipe it, she spills it.  It's hilarious, she really does keep me SO busy!

Noah started soccer!  And I discovered that I'm not a very good soccer mom.  We were 15 min. late, I forgot to bring him a drink (And that created lots of drama) and then he had to pee right during the practice.  I took note of a couple things to remember for next week!   

 

Another soccer mom pulled through & offered Noah a Diet squirt :)  Ruby definitely enjoyed it!

Ruby loved running around.  It made me wonder why I don't just bring her to an empty park sometimes and let her run off some energy!  Noah liked soccer but kept asking "Are we done yet!??"  It was HOT.  I think he's going to get the hang of it & really enjoy himself!  Loving my new camera lens :)
