At least I clean up well.....even if it is on rare occassion

Yesterday I showered (gasp...I know...era un milagro (it's a miracle)) and after which was putting on just a little bit of make-up.  You know...just enough to make me feel like a woman (instead of a splotchy albino monster).

Isaac comes into the room and asks,

"Mom, are we going to have a babysitter tonight? 

"No, why would we?"

"So you and Dad can go on a date?"

"Nope, we're not going on a date tonight?"

"Then why are you putting on that make-up?"

Sigh....

and yet so cute.

It's pretty sad that my boys rarely see me "dress up" (for heavens sake I was only putting on foundation and mascara), unless I am going on a date or getting ready for church.

At least they wont have elevated expectations for THEIR wives, right?

LOL!! reminds me of when I was a kid, and Mom had us clean up the house. inevitably I would ask, "who's coming?"... ummm, "WE ARE" was her answer!!

Haha, totally love it Mel! My kids think a little eyeliner means we're meeting the queen...

lol! My kids always ask if someone is coming over when I start to pick up toys from the living room. Gotta love them for having us all figured out.

I love the stories from your funny boys! Someday your future DIL's will thank you for setting a realistic standard. At least I like to believe it is realistic. Makes me feel better when I get around to doing more than a basic shower.
