I'm going to take it back a few months to a monumental "Seriously?" moment that I relive daily. I am reminded of this moment because the aftermath is still on my walls.
Literally.
This is going to be a semi-long, "seriously?" post. But hopefully you'll get a good laugh.
Here we go.
Remember way back in October, when I made Brighton this cute dress for Halloween?
Well what I didn't mention in my earlier post about making it, is that I literally stayed up all night to finish it. I got done around 5am, (bleh) just in time for Brighton to wake up super early, not even allowing me a cat nap. So I just had to suck it up and go about my day as normal. We did a photo shoot with Sarah, I met my in-laws for shopping and lunch, and then I got the girls ready and we went out to Debi's (in Corona) for Piper's 3rd birthday/halloween party. I drove the 45 minutes home around 8pm, and barely made it. I put the girls to bed and went and passed out on my bed without another thought. This was right around 9pm.
At 11pm, Brighton came in my room with a bottle of nail polish. And this is wear the "Seriously?" part starts.
She had obviously painted her nails/hands, but upon further investigation she had painted our fan...and it was completely covered...with like 5 different colors, the hall mirror, the wall in the hallway, her bedroom door, her night light, her nightstand, and had gobs of it in her hair. I'm freaking out and say to her, "Brighton! You painted the fan, the mirror the wall!" and she says, "And Bossy's face?" WHAT!
Seriously?
I rush in to Boston, and sure enough she has black glitter polish circling each eye. She wanted Bos to be a pirate. Boston was still sleeping, but of course I whisked her out of bed to make sure her eyes were okay. They were.
So basically for 2 hours, Brighton had been going around her room and the hallway painting everything in sight using roughly 5 different colors. 2 hours!
Seriously?
And then she did it again at Christmas at my mom's house. Not nearly as bad, but still.
Seriously?
This is after I tried getting it off...Um ya, not going to happen.
PS. Yes I left my nail polish out. Seriously my bad.
We have had some "seriously" moments of our own with nail polish, although not quite as bad as this one! So crazy!
ReplyDeleteOh no!!! Jodee that is hilarious!! (probably not to you and not at 11 o'clock at night!) but that definitely deserves a "seriously" blog post. I think thats so funny (and cute) that she wanted Boston to be a 'pirate!' hahah. I'm glad I'm not the only mom who has these crazy moments :) your girls are darling
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!! My only response to things like this is at least it wasn't poop! Kelli's youngest girl liked to paint with her poop. But nail polish would be horrible to try to get off! I'm amazed we all survive as moms somehow.
ReplyDeleteShe did not like to paint with poop! She smeared it all over her room once :) That was funny though. I think I'd prefer poop over nail polish only cause it's not permanent. Kalyse took a sharpie once and drew all over her room & and her toys & her baby brothers face cause he wanted him to be a zebra! Little stinkers! I feel your pain! They're lucky they're cute :)
ReplyDeleteDefinetely a "seriously" moment. It makes me think of a few "seriously" moments with my kids!! Silly girl!
ReplyDeleteJodee, this is sooo funny!! I love that she wants to bling up all the fans she sees!! Thank you for the shout out on here about my blog!! I love doing the seriously posts because in a world full of "perfect" blogs I like to add a little reality!! and it has been funny to look back and read some of my posts!! ps something that really helped me remember the events of the week is carrying around a notebook and just writing them as they happen, otherwise I forget!! Oh and that dress is incredible, I wish I had your skills!!
