Happy St. Pattys-Gras-Ween!

I am not sure which holiday my daughter thought she was celebrating today. . .St. Patrick's Day, Mardi Gras, or Halloween. MAYBE she just wanted to be like her Mama. Although I am pretty sure she didn't get her color preference from me!

While I was sitting at my desk today at work, I get an email from Mackenzie's teacher. . .let me quote it for you...

"Your daughter wanted some eye shadow so she put green marker all over her eye lids! LOL! It will not all come off! Giving you a heads up so you are not in shock when you get here!"

Of course my daughter wanted GREEN eyeshadow, who wouldn't?? I instantly googled "permanent marker removal", which led to some very interesting suggestions. Try perfume, kosher salt, toothpaste, WD-40, and Goo-Gone. None of the offered suggestions sounded good for the area around the EYES! So, I called the doctor. The nurse pretty much said that Mackenzie would have green eyes for a while. . .we could "try" eye make-up remover, but she will probably be stained for a bit.

In the end, I emailed the teacher back and thanked her for the warning --- I also asked for a photo. . .she sent one, and I was immediately relieved. You see, I was imagining racoon type green eyes. The actual result was much less scary! Although I have a feeling she will have green eyelids for quite sometime.

Here are the results. . .AFTER we cleaned her lids with eye make-up remover!!! She is such a BOOGER!
