A pair of fine eyes

>> Thursday, February 21, 2013 –  , ,

Lizzy got contacts last week and has entered the happy world of "OH MY GOSH, I CAN SEE! WHOEVER INVENTED CONTACTS IS A GENIUS!!!".  It is indeed a happy land, you should move here. 
 

And do you know who invented contacts?  Well, not invented exactly, but first came up with the idea?  Leonardo da Vinci, that sneaky son of a bword.  Which just goes to show that yes, the person that invented contacts was a super genius. 

 
Okay, so when Lizzy turned 13, I said she was allowed to wear makeup.  And let me tell you, this girl could not stop talking about it.  And texting everyone about it, and then calling them while texting them to tell them all about the "OMGOSH, MAKEUP!!!!!".  Let's just say, she was excited.
 
 
And I kind of figured it wasn't a big deal because she had glasses, and you couldn't really see her eyes.  But, crapnuggets...  now her glasses are gone and her big, huge brown eyes with her ridiculously long eyelashes are blaring all over the place like jerks.  And I'm thinking, this isn't so good. 

And while I'm kind of grateful that she didn't take after me in junior high as QUEEN OF THE NERDS, still I'm thinking... Hmmm...  I think a cup or two of homeliness until she turns 18 wouldn't be such a tragic thing.

Maybe I can start altering her jeans so that they only zipper on the sides?*  That would ante up the loser quotient a bit, I reckon. 


*Only a few of you will get that.  Well, a dozen of you that are my immediate siblings and then a handful of others who I have shared my woe-is-me-childhood stories with.

Ha! Zippers! I get it!

And so sorry dear sweet faux sister, but you are screwed because you have a gorgeous daughter and boys are going to come a knockin.

Wow - to both the contacts and the make-up. She is certainly maturing into a beautiful young lady.

Yay for contacts and Makeup! What she is so not 13... I know she is but seriously she can't be! I was practically an adult when she was born so she can NOT be 13!!!

Tell her she looks HOTT!

Braces are the answer! She should get braces! Because is $3000 too much to spend for the piece of mind knowing that she won't be involved in a make-out session? I don't think so.

Yeah, you're out of luck. She's lovely. No goofy clothes or braces are going to hide those beautiful eyes and that sweet face. The cat is out of the bag. My youngest son just got contacts. Now his gorgeous blue eyes and super long eyelashes are on full display. All of a sudden the girls who were "just friends" have decided he is devastatingly handsome...and he is. I knew it all along.

I remember clearly getting contacts and wearing make-up: both when I was a freshman in high school. It's such an exciting time!

GORGEOUS! And she wears makeup well. Not at all like those who appear to have put it on in the dark with no mirror.

She is beautiful!

I think she is beatiful, with glasses or without. Congrats to her on her getting contacts and wearing make-up days!
