Father's Day Makeover
This weekend past was Father's Day and we pulled out all the stops to show Legoman how much we appreciated him. There were homemade cards (I cut out the clothes and Liongirl did the rest), our cat seems to have received a few extra legs for good measure,
And then of course Roboboy wanted to make one of these too, (do not ask me what is going on with all our necks, but given that he rarely draws people we will take what we can get).
There was a sleep in for Legoman followed by French toast and gifts of the Bonds variety. And then Liongirl scheduled in him in for a little "Fashion B'Pashion" whereby she trots around wielding my old makeup pots and brushes and attacks anyone who sits still long enough. Poor Legoman.
At least she had been practicing on her dolls,
And her friends. Unfortunately this involved a real pot of blue eye shadow that was liberally applied as both a lipstick,
an eyeshadow,
and full facial mask. Thank goodness for best friends who are thoughtful enough to coordinate their frocks.
In other news I haven't been op shopping as much lately as it feels wrong to be bringing home more stuff amidst the great purge of our recent declutterings. However, I didn't pause in the slightest a few weeks ago before snaffling up this lovely vintage dolls rocking chair,
and some more of my favourite pyrex pattern,
with matching lid ( I have never seen one of these before, usually the lids are missing or are clear glass).
Back soon with new plans, more pyrex and Spring in my step.

Giving their dad a makeover is still one of my girls favourite things to do.
ReplyDeleteIn with the old, out with the new is my new mantra...its the only way to manage your opshopping. Love your pyrex bowls. You must have quite the collection now! xx
ReplyDeleteLove the artwork! Because we are renting, I am often put-off dragging out our art supplies (unless I can watch them like a hawk). My guys end up getting it everywhere! xx
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, miss having tiny ones :) Love the pyrex, never seen a lid either.x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely record of your very special day! They really do love their Dad! I always smile when I read Legoman, such a great nickname! Wow, great Pyrex dish! Ada :)

Wow the pyrex is amazing with the matching lid pattern. i haven't seen one like it before.
ReplyDeleteThe blue eyeshadow used to get a bit of a workout when I was younger too.

I love the makeup...I am sure blue eyeshadow as lip stick is very on trend!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am so excited to do a big spring clean out...culminating in a garage sale...and then to head to the op shops to refill!
I love the windows in your photos of Legoman. Love that rocking chair too. Fx
ReplyDeletegah! the cuteness! love your little lady business and the sunny mustard pyrex. a perfect spring addition. happy friday mel! xxx
ReplyDeleteAw, those girls are so cute.
ReplyDeleteGreat thrift finds too. :)
These pics are too cute! I found a lid in that Pyrex pattern, hoping to find the base one day but I really have to stop collecting.
ReplyDeleteCutest rocking chair Mel, so sweet and those two and their makeup, divine!
ReplyDeleteLove the pyrex!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good sport to sit there and have makeup applied:) I love watching my Mr doing that for the little one it's really quite sweet. Miss Liongirl you are just gorgeous:) xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky papa, to have his own in-house esthetician. I am sure he will be requesting her services regularily when she learns to do a full facial.
ReplyDeleteI am having a good giggle at the blue eyebrows!!! Liongirl and her sweet friend are just adorable!!! The vintage dolls rocking chair is absolutely gorgeous too, what a stunning find!! xx
ReplyDeleteYour kids make you feel proud of them for the beautiful innovation they create in their drawings...
