'Fess Up Friday



Mr. Jenkins "finger painted" my coffee table with peanut butter.

Why was the peanut butter accessible to him you ask?

Well, I'm sure it wasn't because I was scooping globs of peanut butter onto mini Hershey bars and stuffing my face.

Surely not.

Poor tricker-treaters... at the rate I am eating candy, there will not be any left for the little goblins.

There are a few contenders for "outfit of the week" at the Curl household:

Exhibit A:

Things to note: Mr. Jenkins is wearing a "tool belt" (which he has taken to napping in!) and some awesome "moon boots" (not visible in this photo). Sassy is sporting some mittens because the child is either running around in just her skivvies or ridiculously bundled.

However, the winner could not be denied.
Exhibit B: THE WINNER
Yes... we wore this outfit in the driveway trying to ride our bike. When I said, "please put some shoes on so that you don't scuff up your feet," I wasn't expecting the Elmo slippers.

Also, if it is not readily apparent... she favors the color purple.

We went to Chick-fil-a for family night on Tuesday. This is somewhat ironic because Tuesday is the night that Brent has his seminary class, so we weren't really there as a family, as much as we were there for the "free kid's meal"... oh and face painting!


It was a bit of an adventure (as it usually is when you are outnumbered 3 to 1), but to complicate matters it was pouring rain and the kids still wanted to play on the playground. In general, I don't care too much about my kids getting messy and wet...perhaps this is why I have peanut butter smeared on my coffee table, so I let them play and get soaked.

It was however slightly embarrassing when we came back inside and my children dripped and slogged through the restaurant leaving a trail of wetness in their wake.

Dripping.
Everywhere.

We were almost out the door when Sassy saw the face painting. *sigh*

By the grace of God and a full bag of Annie's Bunny Grahams, we survived the 20 minute wait to get her face painted.

For the sake of the children still waiting in line, I made her sit on a food tray as a means to keep the seat dry. She was seriously, seriously wet.

Well, that's all I've got for now...
Hope everyone has a good weekend!

  1. Ha! I splurged on a box of expensive Annies Cheddar Bunnies in order to survive our train ride last weekend! I'm not usually that prepared, but I knew we would have a lot of sitting, and everyone knows the best way to distract a bored kid is by stuffing their face with crackers.

    I love that you let your kids play in the rain. I'm still working on saying 'yes' more. It's less stressful for everyone.

    I haven't opened our halloween candy because I am afraid of how much I will eat if I have ready access... peanut butter on chocolate! Why have I never thought of this?!

    Thanks for linking up :)
