Joining the 21st Century & makeup on a 2 year old

So I've finally created a blog. Not sure how often I'll update it, but I promise to do my best to update you with what's going on with ASK Purdin (that is Anya, Sasha and Karina..and oh yeah, Eric and I too :) )

So today was a first in the Purdin house hold. Make up on a two year old.

Anya is in a Twinkle Toes dance class at the dance centre around the corner from our house and on June 14th is her Spring Concert.

So, today was picture day, so that meant she had to be in her costume with stage make up and all. It was easy to put on foundation, eye shadow and blush...but eyeliner? On a 2 year old? Geesss..and the lipstick was another story. She kept smacking her lips and it would wear off and bleed and ended up on her chin. While I appreciate the fact that the stage make up is needed so her face doesn't wash out on stage, how can a Mom actually be successful in putting make up on her 2 year old? When we arrived at the dance centre, her teacher said, "Oh her make up looks great!". I breathed a sigh of relief..success! And of course she was absolutely beautiful and the pictures turned out so well it was hard to pick a pose. Our precious little Anya..what an angel and joy she brings us. Attached is a picture of Anya at day's end, playing in my clothes and crazy hair that still looks cute after being in a bun for pictures and hair sprayed. And as crazy as it was, it was worth every minute.

Welcome to blogging, Wendy. My (now) blogging friend told me to 'post regularly and read other's blogs and leave them comments. If they like what they see on yours they will return.' [Not exactly word for word quote.]

You have a nice blog oriented towards being a family journal. And you have a nice family. We kept a 10 month old granddaughter this week. On my blog, she is KP.

My 'Jim's Little Blog' is a journal in a way but not nearly all my family read it very regularly. Some do. Some are distant, in Nebraska, Iowa, Arkansas, Missouri, Oregon, and I'm not sure where else. I would like this blog to have some writing also but not much gets done in those regards.

My witness on my blog is that I am a Christian and one who is pretty much a regular guy. Since I am a little self professed wit(ty) at times I pray that in spite of my feelings then Jesus might come through.

The other blog is 'Jim's Little Photo and Poem Place' in which I try to post at least one poem a week. I am aligned with three groups which come up with a prompt word or words for each week.

Again, welcome to the blogging world.
