Well, she took everything but the kitchen sink

Harry says on our way home: I want it to be Tim McGraw when he heard another singer's voice. That boy can really ID singers these days, tho he's been pretty limited to country and kids songs so far. His latest is determining the genre "Hey, hey, it's rock 'n ROLL!"


Mary Anne over at The Stiletto Mom dumped her purse and did an inventory and offered it up as a meme. I took the bait, and here's my purse dump:

So, it's not technically a purse, but it serves the purpose.

Doesn't look too bad, and it weighs in at a slim, ahem, 4 pounds :eek:

This is what is stored on the outside:

And this is the total dump (in and out)


Sure, it looks like a mess, but look at all the treasures, close up and organized
Key: (clockwise from the boys row on top)

• three packs of skittles from the summer movies and a pack of ritz snack mix
• three transformers
• two boy wallets, complete with their saved spending money and gift cards to buy Christmas gifts for others
• two US map flip books for whiling away boring waits
• my coupon folder
• my survival kit - sewing, spot removal, pain reliever, antacids, etc.
• my tape measure (the little purple circle)
• my first aid kid (I *love* me some FA kits!)
• my day spa: hand sanitizer, contact moisturizer, Aveeno hand lotion, Burts Bees beeswas lip balm (awesome), Gold Bond Ultimate lotion, nail clippers, tissues
• sunglasses, keys, phone, and check to the Girl Scouts for yummies
• in the middle, a planner that I haven't used in months and my wallet
  
  And this is my amazing first aid kit (the one in my purse, not counting the 10 or so other ones I have stashed in the glove compartment, under the seat in the wayback, in the trunk, in my gym bag, in the guest bathroom, in the pantry....I know it's a sickness :blush:)
  It's tiny but very McGyveresque ;-)

L-R, top to bottom: disinfecting wipes, Neo-to-go, empty bag, Tylenol, tweezers, antibiotic creams, bandaids in a waterproof holder, odd-sized bandaids, paper tape, scissors and FA instructions (phone for size comparison)

I'm a little proud and a little scared - this is AFTER they stopped needing all the wipes, clothes and diaper changes, snack cups, water cups and other 'baby stuff'. My bag was a LOT bigger back then ;-)

So, what's the damage at your house? If you're in need of a post, feel free to steal or spin this as you will :-)

Where The Green Grass Grows

I ran across these pix from their last soccer game and thought they were worth a post - surprisingly, THIS was not a common occurence ;-)
