"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Mother's have inspiration....

The Friday after school started, Justin had a get-together with people he works with.  Generally we don't make it to these outings because we have four troublemakers to deal with - but they were invited this time.  Before we left the house, I thought:  "I should check GQ's diaper."

I did not.

Upon arrival, GQ's shorts were completely soaked (okay, okay, so I am a slacker at changing his diaper... we're potty-training now).  I looked in the "Emergency Bag" which apparently has not been updated since M was GQ's age.

Hence the pink pants:


WITH flowers on the bottom.

What is funnier is that because my girls pick their own clothes and have so much amazing fashion sense, I had specifically picked GQ's and Baby S's clothes to look normal so that I could at least seem somewhat normal myself.  Yes, I apparently do still care somewhat that other adults don't think I pick outfits like the following:


I suppose I should get over it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who waits too long to change a diaper and ends up with soaked pants right when you get somewhere!
