violet= red+blue

Ahhhhh...forgetfullness such a great thing, when it is to your advantage. Today I got to experience to the max the no so great benefit of forgetting. Its a little thing call Genetian Violet, heard of it? Great stuff, unless it is the possesion of a two year old. Yes you read that right. Actually, there are not many things that are good in the possesion of a two year old. Especially when it is a substance that is bright purple and stains. I was getting little e to sleep for his nap and in walks Gretchen, handing me the bottle (isnt she thoughful?) with one hand and the lid with the other, her fat little fingers, purple. It took a moment to register what I was seeing. I yelled for Jeni as this was going to take back up. Dont let her touch anything and get her off the carpet. Personally I could care less if the diningroom floor was stained, it is on the list for replacement anyway. We find that the diningroom floor has a nice purple puddle on it, her foot also has a splash of color too, along w/ the pretty pink outfit that she got for her birthday a couple weeks ago. She got to wear it once and one hour, now she has a very pretty pink and purple outfit to wear to play outside in. grrrr. Not even hairspray works to take this stuff out. I may try rubbing alcohol, can you drink that? ha ha Needless to say my day that was going really good, went to crud, really quick. That took alot of cleanup and I was to say the least, seeing red and the ruined outfit made me a tad bit blue. Did I mention I left it out?

On a GOOD note, I got the girls bedroom clean, finally. I cant believe the amount of clothing we have accumulated for them. I put away TWO heaping laundry baskets of clothes, plus hung up I think 20 dresses (not really, it may have been 10) geez, time to sort out and purge the clothes. I am sure that there is stuff in there that fits neither one of them, besides, those are probably the ones that are procreating with the others and causing the influx of laundry in my laundryroom, they must go! If only that happened with socks...

Little e is on his way to moving up in the world, he is now the proud owner of a big boy car seat. He seems to like it just fine so far, but it is in the livingroom and motionless, we will see. The reviews for installing this seat were not that great, so we will see how great we think it is then. Well I gotta freshly shaved hubby behind me, gotta go smell him. Nite!
