eye of the beholder



You know you are a mom when you think the way the light hits the jell-o splattered all over your kitchen table is really beautiful. And how nicely the orange compliments the blue of her eyes. And you run and grab your camera because it's just so....pretty?!

For the record, I allowed this so that I could finish my dinner in peace. It was totally worth the extra clean-up and bath that followed. Honestly a bath usually follows all of Elly's meals these days; she insists on trying all her food out as a hat. So far the peanut butter side of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich seems to be the most fashionable culinary accessory.

(I'm still blogging blind here, but these looked half decent on my camera screen.)

You are a true mommy when you allow monumental messes just to finish a meal in peace. I let Bella get water all over the kitchen while she "washed dishes" just so I could finish my lunch yesterday. The floor needed a good mopping anyway.

Loved the photos of Elly!

You know, I really like these pictures! It's amazing how a messy jello picture can say so much!

I love that you allow your kids the freedom to explore. Even if it is a mess. An adorable mess, of course!

I'm feeling a little convicted...I need to allow more messes! I'm way to uptight!

Too cute!
