Day 16

Day 16: What's in my purse.

The real question is, what's not in my purse! With three kids I try to be prepared for anything, and then there are those extra things that end up in there somehow. On this day I happen to have diapers, a pull up, a onsie, little snack things for Emmit, random toys for him also, my wallet, wipes, a pair of Emmit's shorts (which came in handy for Mya on this day) and Emmit's flip-flops that luckily I got for like $2 because he has yet to keep them on for more than a few minutes (I should know by now that it is a waste of money to buy shoes for my kids until they are walking because none of them will keep them on before then). I'm sure there is also a plethora of crumbs at the bottom of the bag. Yum.

Funny story, we (meaning my brothers and I) used to make so much fun of my mom for the contents of her purse. It was always filled with Klinex (used, unused, freely floating around) and she could never chew a whole stick of gum because it made her gag (yep, I inherited that also probably because of the teasing), so there would always be a pack of half-sticks of gum in her purse with fuz from her Klinex's stuck to the ripped part. We had many laughs over this!!! On a more appetizing note, she also liked to keep tic-tac's in her purse, and not the mint ones but the good orange ones and she would pull them out during church and pass them around. As a result, I never have Klinex or gum in my purse, but I do try to keep some kind of candy or fruit snack in my purse for emergency's with the kids (or me:).

My grandma Adams always had junior mints in her purse, and a little coin purse that weighed about 20lbs! And I know that my kids will always remember that Grandma Teri always has life-saver mints in her purse during church just for them. Trust me, those mints have saved many lives during church!
