since cheeks #2’s surgery we have to keep her as calm as you can keep a 2 yr old that has a pretty crazy sister, not that anyone wants to go out in this heat anyway….so off we went to spend $1 million dollars to paint “pottery”,  (i use the term lightly) and of course ourselves in cheeks#1’s case.  This child is the reason i need to carry an entire bucket of wipes in my car and an even bigger one in my purse, ha!  she, my 3.5 year old had paint on her arms, elbows, FOREHEAD, hair and a little on her knees….yep seriously!  i guess when you are such a serious painter you just paint!  the funny thing is that she is the one who totalyl wigs out when her hands are dirty….oh well sometimes we must sacrifice for art right?!  i of all people should respect that theory with my grass stained clothes and muddy shoes.

speaking of a purse…i have been meaning to mention it for about 6 months now…i officially graduated from the diaperbag to a MOM PURSE aka the oversized a la nicole richie, leaves dents in your shoulder, full of “stuff” mom purse.  I gave my fleurville diaper bag a “peace out” and moved on to this mom purse with utter excitement, i had been carrying a diaper bag for almost 3 years, blah to that. 

 well any of you who are ahead of me in your mommyhood will know what is to come with my relationship with my mom purse, for those of you who have yet to hit your graduation, get ready….get ready for crushed cheerios or other crunchy dried snacks, get ready for not 1 not 2 but maybe 5 paci’s, 2 mini tootsie pops, 3 thomas trains, 1 percy train a little mermaid AND a cinderella toy, 4 pairs of sunglasses only one of which were mine, a few melted crayons, spilled sippy cups thus leading to wet checkbooks, 11 hair accesories, an extra pair of princess panties, a diaper and of course a case of wipes….just to name a few things i found yesterday when i was seraching everywhere for my lost drivers license
