Happy Independence Day!!!
Our Sunday School class had a cook-out so I signed our whole gang up and tortured the men with "Matching T-Shirts"!! Don't we look like one Big Happy Family?! My mom is so great, she'd pretty much do anything I asked, lol. She bought me all kinds of stuff for my kitchen, but that's another blog. Anyway, this was our Day!
My mom came and told me about a Kodak moment between my friend Brigitte's daughter, (Brigitte is the one teaching me to sew) and my daughter Hallie. They look like they should be on a post card.

Heidi...and then a tragedy....
Hope fell face first on the pavement while running of course. You can't slow her down.
We got her a pop-cycle because she wouldn't keep ice on it.

My Dad put his leg up so she wouldn't fall and she decided to copy him.
A nice goodbye moment, Awwe
That's right, BLUE NAIL POLISH!!!!!
She was not happy because I was not happy. If you remember she has that cut on her lip from falling, using nail polish remover is out for her lip anyway. So I stuck her in the tub and it came off. I used it everywhere else. Oh, and the outfit is ruined.
Literally, Head to toe. It was thick too.

A nice goodbye moment, AwweHave you ever had a nice smooth time with family and then after everyone leaves your child does the unthinkable and you wish someone was there to help you clean up the mess?
Or in my case clean up the child!!!!

Oh Ellen, if I still had iced coffee in my mouth when I was reading this, it would have been all over my laptop!! I almost died laughing when I got to the blue nailpolish part!!
ReplyDeleteThe post was so sweet and cute and I was thinking you were going to wrap up your nice "family visiting" post so sweetly...the blue nailpolish is hysterical...especially so, b/c my thirdborn would do the SAME thing! She is into soaps, lotions, and dumping the entire shampoo or conditioner bottle into the bathtub with her these days...I can TOTALLY relate!! The blue nailpolish takes the cake though...sooooo funny!! (I need to go upstairs now and lock up all nailpolish on the premises.)
Very nice posts, Ellen! It looks like you had a great time with your family. I enjoyed catching up with your blog!
