pucker up...!

Nuala got into my one tube of lipstick. I blame myself for never wearing it, so she really has no clue how to put it on. Oddly, she's almost a pro at lip gloss... (though, um...I seldom wear that either...hmmm...maybe I should brush up on those feminine charms.) Lipstick, though is WAY more fun, probably because you can easily get results like these. Immediate request from the Bug: "I want lipstick that goes 'round and 'round and up and down from Papa 'well! (Papa Noel)"

She just loves being so "pretty!" I love this girl! Such a sweetie! Usually... And speaking of being "pretty"... the other day while eating oatmeal, we were talking about getting married (again... definitely a favorite topic of hers!), and she was asking Bran to marry her (again), and Bran, who apparently totally gets the brother-sister issue, said in exasperation, "I can't marry you, Noona, 'cause I your brother! You is my sister!" Turning to me, then: "You yell at Noona 'cause her want to marry me?" Poor guy. I keep telling them both not to worry, when the time comes neither will want to marry the other. So anyway, I started totally talking up the handsome boy who will meet Nuala and fall madly in love with her, and she with him, and she got all excited and said, " Him might say, 'Oooooo, I like marry her! She so pretty!' " Just made me smile. She is so pretty. Outside AND inside, which is something else we talk about...that it's even more important to be pretty on the inside. And she is!

That is precious. I love the story with it too. She and bran both are so fun to hear about. I am so glad you blog so I can keep up with your family.

Ha ha ha! She so funny! Bran too. I love the lipstick pictures, she is SO gorgeous. Beautiful blue eyes, too. Such a cute conversation between the two of them...poor Bran, getting proposed to all the time.

Sigh, I just noticed my typo...

Oh, that was just too cute. I love how Bran knows they aren't supposed to get married. So funny!

Hee hee hee ... that lipstick looks like Maybelline G280, Mocha Ice (!) It looks great on you Nuala ... you should go give Mom & Dad a big kiss right after you make it go round and round and up and down! You look great ... Bran is so funny, trying to straighten out Nuala about the marriage relationship stuff... we all had a good laugh, of course :)
Love, Mom (Dad too) xox

*Ding, ding, ding!* You got it, Mom! That's the shade... Very impressive ;) And yeah, she gave me a nice big beso! Then I sent her to wake up Daddy with a big ol' kiss, too...

Lookin' good! I think Jack was very impressed with Nuala's beauty.
I love how Bran says "You yell at Noona..." You wrote this in another blog entry about one of your more recent car trips. I think it was "Yell at Noona Daddy"! So funny.

Wow, that is one fancy lipstick job, Nuala!

Sutherlands said...

I'm laughing so hard. Nuala is a crack up! She does look very stunning! If it makes you feel better, that tube of lipstick (that Mom gave you, right???) is the only one I have too. And I actually recently gave it back to Mom because I never use it, either. LOL.

By the way, I find it interesting that your children expect you to yell when things don't go the way they should. Where did they ever get the idea that parents yell??? I'm certain their parents never raise their voices, right??? ;o)

Hey, a girl has got to look her best at all times. Especially in a vixen snow white costume.
