Extreme Makeover - Hailey Edition

Ever have one of those days when you should be angry and punish your little one for something they've just done, but instead you find yourself trying to hold back the laughs because the scene is so funny you can barely stand it? Well, let's just say that tonight was one of those nights. I had run to the store to pick up a few things right after putting the kids down for the night. Hailey has been a bit stubborn about going to bed lately and has invented all sorts of excuses to get up, including having to go to the bathroom 3 times in 10 minutes, if need be. Well, tonight as I was coming in, we heard a noise upstairs. Since I was busy putting away groceries, I sent Jeremiah up to check on which child it was and get them back to bed. Not more than a minute later, he came back downstairs and told me that he needed my help with one of the kids upstairs. He had kind of a strange look on his face (which I now realize was his "holding back the laughter" face), so I headed upstairs to see which one had gone potty in their pants or threw up all over or whatever. In the upstairs bathroom, I found this scene:

Yes, that would be make-up all over her face and pj's - including foundation, eyeliner, and mascara. Apparently she realized she was going to get in trouble, because when Jeremiah found her, she was trying to wash her hands with soap. The bottle of lotion was also on the floor, so apparently she was trying to moisturize as well. Have I taught her well or what? The funniest part about this whole thing was her answer when I asked her what she was doing. Her response: "I'm putting on my make-up Mommy!" With a look that said "Duh, what you do think I'm doing?" I stood there for about 10 seconds, trying to keep myself from bursting out laughing at what I was looking at. After I regained my composure, I was able to get things cleaned up (including her) and give her a little bit of a talking to about getting into Mommy's make-up. Luckily, she decided to do this little self makeover in her bathroom (which has a vinyl floor) instead of our master bathroom (which has carpeting) where the make-up was actually located. Other than a few little drops of foundation on the carpet (which happens to almost be the exact same color) so there are no noticeable stains, we came away with little effect other than a good laugh and a great story for the blog.
