The Krazy Life

so, my friend tells me my life is too funny not to blog - so here goes.
So, just one part of my day today:
After nap nancy Claire was sitting in my lap and as I started to run my hands through her hair I discovered that I had forgotten to take her gum away from her before she went down for her nap.
So I had to break the news to her that it was not going to be fun but unless she wanted a haircut we had to get the gum out.
Fortunately – ha ha- I had discovered over a year ago that the peanut butter theory does work – I discovered this of course when I had to get bright orange silly putty out of john brady’s hair.
So, I put her up on the kitchen counter and get a little peanut butter and it takes about five minutes and we’re done. But of course the smell of peanut butter had now spread throughout the house and they were both in the mood for peanut butter. Both of them wanted their own container and their own spoons. So, being the WONDERFUL mom that I am, I obliged.
So I take this “break” to sit down and start flipping through the many pictures I have that I have not uploaded and printed since before easter.
Minutes later as I take a peek at my precious children, I notice that John brady doesn’t have his spoon in the peanut butter, but rather his FOOT!!!!! It was in a nice meringue fluffy pattern on his face, glove-like on his hands and yes, caked onto his foot like icing.
I have come to an original saying: Sometimes being a great mom means cleaning up a bigger mess. No problem!
