Thank you Cover Girl

Ellie comes to me this morning saying "Look Mommy, I'm beautiful!" And boy, was she ever! She had found my Color Stay lip stain and drawn around her lips, missing most of them. And let me tell you Cover Girl...it really does stay. Thankfully our day's event was a trip to the zoo with other moms who would understand. The thought had crossed my mind that it was good today wasn't a day when I was taking them to have pictures done. Anyway, we had a few laughs when we all met up at the gate to the zoo and then proceeded to the entrance. The zoo's membership policy is two and under are free, so when I renewed my pass in September Ellie was still two and didn't need one. Well....the woman at the gate today asked how old she was and told me I couldnt' come in until I got her a ticket or a membership. We had all assumed that our newly three year olds were going to be free until the next time we had to renew since they had only been two when we got our passes. Well, we were wrong. As we go to the zoo a lot I decided to get her a membership along with mine. We had to go to the office, fill out the form and, uh oh...have her picture taken. I had her stand on the paw print while they pointed the camera at her, then they lady asked if I wanted to wipe her face before she took the picture. No thanks. It wasn't worth explaining the Color Stay Lip Stain event. We had a great rest of the trip, saw some animals, ate some Texas sized onion rings, and came home for a nap. Still got the lip stain on....
