Life With Kids

No pictures to go with this post, although, if you could've only SEEN the chaos of last night, it would do this post much more justice.

So, I had a Mary Kay skincare party at my house for a girl who just recently started selling it. I only needed to invite like three people, so I invited some close friends. Mark had plans, so I knew Kate would be at the house with me. My friend, Sara, brought her one year old, Trevor, because her husband was at their daughter's soccer practice. Megan brought little Allie, who is 7 months old. And Hanna, the LUCKY ONE, came by herself.

I kinda knew in my head how this would go, but I threw it together last minute, so it was what it was. I never did tell the poor Mary Kay girl who had to drive an HOUR to get to my house that there would also be three babies joining us. It was her first party, so we broke her in "real good."

The minute she would start talking, a kid would scream, or fall, or require "attention". At one point, Allie started crying, so Megan went and rescued her (probably from my dear sweet CRAZY Kate) and put her in her lap. Allie stuck her hand right into the skincare products that the girl had out on Megan's tray. Trevor fell at least two times and at one point Kate was hovered over poor Allie (who, mind you, was innocently laying on a pillow) yelling, "NO, NO, NO" about two inches from her face, all while poking her belly. Needless to say, Allie started screaming and needed "rescuing" again!

We were putting makeup on one handed with kids in our laps, our attention divided between makeup and motherhood.

At one point, we were smelling Allie and Kate's butts to see which one had pooped. This poor Mary Kay girl (who was not a mother) had NO idea what she was in for when she stepped foot in my house!!
