Random Monday Stuff
- Here’s a much better view of the tree that fell in our yard. I have to say I’m not going to miss it when it’s gone.
- Do you remember that thing about the woman from J. Crew who painted her son’s toenails pink? I’m officially a member of team little boys with pink toenails, if that’s even a team. A few weeks ago when I was painting my toenails (I’ve never had a professional pedicure — how weird is that), I had Soren pick the color. I gave him three or four choices, and of course he picked pink. He loves pink. Then he wanted pink toes, too, so I just did his big toes. Yesterday I was bored with my pink nails and put a coat of pink glitter over them. Of course, Soren wanted pink glitter toenails, too. And so it came to be that he has pink glitter toenails. (For the record, I am better at doing my own toes than this hack job toddler pedicure would indicate.) I even painted my fingernails last night, which I’ve done, like, twice in the last 15 years or so. I’d post a picture, but my hands are fug and even Instagram doesn’t help.
Do you ever hear people talk about how clothes for girl kids are cuter than clothes for boy kids? Lies, I tell you. And here’s why: Skulls. I’ve already posted this picture, but see? Of course, girls are more than welcome to wear skulls, too. Cute skull stuff for little guys: Gap T, more stuff at the Gap, a ton of stuff at Old Navy right now, a few things at 77kids, Cherokee skull sweater at Target . . . just go to whatever website sells kids’ stuff and search for skull.
- I ran 6.54 miles in an hour yesterday. That’s fast for me. It was great, until I had runner’s tummy all afternoon.
- Holy crap I’m boring today. Sorry. I’ll try to get a July 4 party playlist up before the 4th.
