Ellie knows there is a designated area for her church snacks in my purse. Usually it is the middle section of my purse that has a zipper. I bought a new purse a couple of days ago with my gift certificate to TJ Maxx (thanks Aaron), and followed the same protocol (snacks in the middle section with the zipper).
However, since it is MY purse, I too like to put the middle section to use for discrete items. Today as Ellie was pulling out her snacks she pulled out a tampon (packaged...not used, just thought I should clarify), and stood up in total disgust, and said (in not a very reverent voice), and pratically waving the tampon in the air above her head, "Mom, why would you put this tampon with my snacks?"
So, red with embarrassment, and trying to stifle Dan's laughing with my reverent "shut up" look, I have now decided I only carry a purse for Ellie's snacks...I guess I will start using a fanny pack for my necessities, because let's be honest my purse is used to hold all of Dan's crap too!!
So, there you go Ellie...SORRY!! I will no longer mix feminine hygiene products with your church snacks.

this is hilarious for 2 reasons:
1. the actual story
2. the fact that you're contemplating carrying around a fanny pack. i understand that ellie needs her own bag...but don't go down that dark road of fanny packs, my friend. those are reserved for 'older' disneyland tourists and foreigners.
LOL! Thanks for the laugh this morning. What a handful you've got there.
Ha! I love it! Please carry a fanny pack! I would love to see it! Yesterday, we were sitting in church and Sam had a booger so I decided to get it (oh we all know we do it with our kids) and he yelled out "mom, stop picking my nose!" The lady by me almost had to leave she was laughing so hard! Oh the joys of sacrament meeting!
How funny, yet so embarrassing. I guess you got to expect that with kids don't we. Sorry. Hey thanks for letting me borrow the praxis book.
Ha! Ok, that seriously made me laugh out loud :)
That's so funny! Wish I could have been there. Isabel did the same thing to me once but it was in a dr.'s office. Church is so much better.
That is SO FUNNY!!! And even more funny that she knows what a tampon is. Maybe that is the norm for little girls, I wouldn't know with my two boys. She is so CUTE!!
that is hysterical! Next time, get a purse that has SEVERAL zipper area - LIKE MINE! (with 4 kids, you have to learn every trick you can). HOWEVER, I will say, the best trick of them all, is to not let them know or think there is any possibility of food in your purse, and then you don't even have to worry about it!
Of course she knows what a tampon is (not necessarily the use of it), but part of the joy of having a three year old is that she can fetch me items like toilet paper, a towel, and yes even a tampon when needed!! :P
Well, she is going to be a blue doctor she needs to know all about that stuff! Do the fanny pack. I bet you'll be a trend setter. I bet Amberly will even buy one for her dog, to match his sweater of course!
hey there--I understand you had a blurb book made not too long ago. What are your thoughts? Did your pictures come out looking good, and not grainy? What was the process like--did they do the work, or did you have to input all your photos and text? They have a feature that makes a book out of a blog, but blogger is not listed as one of the platforms they use. I could really use some guidance here, as I've been planning all along to get a book made of our blog, but I'm worried it won't live up to expectations. . .
Thanks!
Can Ellie and I be friends.. Tell Dan that I will send him the memo next time we get 16 player! And yes I did change and I am in your Thursday class.. I couldn't miss out!
I love it, that is so funny! Of course stuff like that happens during church when everyone is nice a quiet so they can hear Ellie! LOL
Thank for your input about blurb--I was on the site for a while yesterday, and it looks like they can't do slurps from blogger blogs any more--some kind of glitch in the software. I'm so bummed! I really don't want to copy and paste everything, but it looks like that might be what I have to do, or else convert my blog into a different format.
So enjoy the book you made! I'm so jealous!
Oh my!! Okay, I laughed so dang hard! So did my Dan. Oh, that is so priceless!!
