Beauty Night


Tonight Jeff attended a bachelor party so I let Laney invite her friend, Alison, over for a sleepover. For the record, it's now 11:15 p.m., Jeff's not home yet, and I just popped "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" into the VCR and am baking a dozen chocolate chip cookies in the oven. I figured, it's an odd night...why not let the kids stay up and have fun?

I've been meaning to try out the mud mask material I purchased in Israel and decided I'd try it tonight. Of course, the girls wanted to put mud masks on and Max insisted on participating, too, so it became quite the spectacle, slathering mud on all our faces. The kids got such a kick out of it! I remember loving facials and makeovers at sleepovers when I was a kid. It was fun to do it with Laney, who's normally such a tomboy.

Boy were the kids wild tonight! They ran around non-stop, only pausing to watch a movie. I need an aspirin. Actually, I hear that aspirin makes great masks when mixed with Cetaphil since it's a beta-hydroxy acid. Maybe I'll try that next week...
