Pretty in Purple

I'm in a pretty peachy mood this morning despite the fact that the weather outside is chilly, the sky is full of grey and black clouds and it's been drizzling on and off outside since I woke up! Still feeling peachy!! Maybe it's because the holidays are just around the corner!! The leaves are changing colors. I get to dress my kids up as Thing 1 and Thing 2 for Halloween. I get to gather my fall decorations and finally put them out again! I. am. thrilled!

Not much has really been going on in our home, we've just been going on with our same old routine, but luckily for me, along that regular routine are some fun moments.

A few weeks ago, E decided he did not want to eat on the counter, he wanted to eat on the floor in the kitchen on our rug. Being the wonderful mother that I am, I just put his lunch on the rug and let him have at it. I went about my business not paying much attention to what he was doing... until I realized it was quiet, too quiet. Any parent- and almost any non parent knows that if a child is being quiet, then they're most likely doing something naughty or they've fallen asleep. Lucky for me! E had just fallen asleep mid-meal! Nothing sinister was going on here!

 If you look in the  background here you can see my crutches, which meant that I couldn't lift him up and carry him to bed. So.... being the fantabulous Mother that I am, I just collected one of his blankets and wrapped him up like a caterpillar in a cocoon and left him on the floor. :)

Buzz lightyear is a favorite toy around here. He will often go with A and E everywhere. About a week ago, Buzz was left alone. I stumbled upon him laying on my rug, looking quite provocative.  

I am still wondering why my children made him pose like that...

A likes to watch me paint my fingernails. Sometimes I will paint one of his nails and he just loves it! One night, one of those nights where things are too quiet- and no one was asleep this time!- M and I stumbled upon A sitting on our bed with my purple sparkly fingernail polish going to town on his hands!! AHHHHHH! OUR COMFORTER!!! M swooped over grabbed the polish that was THANKFULLY not tipped over and handed it to me. A was quickly collected and taken out of the room. He was quite proud of the work he had done on his nails and enthusiastically showed us.

Lucky for us, only a little bit of polish got onto our comforter and it only looks like glitter. Not polish. WHEW!!

A sure loves his purple glittery nails/fingers. :)
