late again.

HOLY MOSES i haven't posted anything since july. and now it's november. ugh. i've been wanting to catch up but the thought is overwhelming. instead i've been avoiding this site as much as possible. but esme is growing and changing so much and i know i will regret not recording it. so here we go.

sunday mornings are always a little stressful for me. always have been, probably always will be. it seems like no matter how much time i give myself, or how much i prepare the night before, i'm always 5-10 minutes late. and it's not like we have 8:00 church, it doesn't start until 11:00! it drives brandon NUTS... (one of the many things he must put up with, i guess) 

well yesterday morning (sunday) i vowed we would make it to church on time. i prepared my sunbeam lesson the night before, esme's dress was laid out and her snacks and diapers were packed. we woke up early and even had time to scramble some eggs for breakfast. (usually i cram down a granola bar in the car WHILE applying mascara... talent) so 10:45 rolled around and we were just about ready; brandon was putting on his tie, i was finishing my make-up, ezzy was dressed and playing quietly in our closet. i was so proud of myself and told brandon "oh my gosh! we're totally going to be on time!" 

i spoke too soon. 

just then brandon looked over to see esme sitting on the ground with something red all over her hands. he rushed over and in her lap found a bottle of dark red nail polish... broken. brandon scooped up the pieces and asked me to check her hands for cuts. the polish looked just like blood but luckily her hands were fine. her dress and our carpet were not so lucky. it was a brand new SUPER cute dress too. ugh. 



brandon spent the next 15 minutes scrubbing his hands clean (they stayed a pretty shade of pink) and i cleaned up ezzy and attempted to clean the carpet. thankfully she didn't get it anywhere else. it would have been so easy for her to rub her red little fingers across our clothes and that would have been a disaster! 


ya, we were late for church... again.

Oh No! Hey, I think I saw something on pinterest Guaranteeing it would get nail polish out of carpet/clothes.
