what do think when you see this picture?
of course you think…
“wow annie has serious bed head”
and “what kind of crazy camera angle is that?” and
“why doesn’t megan just brush her hair with that brush sitting on the counter?”
and “where can i get a cow shaped butter dish like that?”
(it’s a one of a kind original made by lauren years ago…sorry)
these things are obvious.
but what do think of the play-doh?
does this make you feel stress?
are you thinking…you can’t mix play-doh!!
are you wishing that annie had kept them all seperate?
did you begin to sweat?
did you just go check to make sure no one mixed your play-doh?
or do you think…
“those colors are so beautiful all blended together”
“the pink swirling through the purple is so bright.”
“what color will be created next?”
“i wish i could play with annie”
i just think it’s so interesting to hear people say
“we don’t mix our play-doh.”
if we didn’t mix play-doh…
how could these dudes have rainbow hair?!!
Andria Bender - I’m with the mom wondering who was going to clean it up. But, rock on mixing the playdoh. I have 3 wild boys, the playdoh is going to get mixed.
Julie K - We just had this discussion a week ago! The kids got new playdoe for christmas. Aidan went to mix his colors right away and my first thought was – wait until it’s not so new and pretty! Then, within the same second I said, oh whatever, it’s just playdoe – have fun. So, one child mixes and the other does not. It’s more of a personality type here. Cute post.
melissa @ the inspired room - love it ALL! Bed head and mixed up playdough!
jeanetta - i was thinking what a mess i would have to clean up. lol
Emily Loria - Ohhh, we LOVE play doh! It’s better to mix it up a bit. A homemade playdoh color is way better than what you get at the store!
Ainslie - What a thought-provoking post!!! In all honesty, my first thought was not about the mixed up colours. My first thought was…’holy cow, look at that mess…who’s going to clean that up’!!! BUT, I absolutely have no problem with the play dough colours being mixed up. Isn’t it funny the things that bother some but don’t bother others. So who did clean that mess up???
Lee Ann - Ok, my duaghter just woke up from a nap and I showed her the pictures. She said “OHHH! It looks like she mixed up all the play doh! You can’t do that because then you won’t have very much colors left.”
Thanks again for sharing your family with us.
Lee Ann - My daughter’s (4) Sunday school teacher told me she was mad at everyone a couple weeks ago because they were mixing the play-doh. Honest I didn’t teach her that. She likes things “orderly” all on her own.
I love your photos. I never once would have thought you should brush her hair. It’s way overrated.
Andrea - OK. I have to admit…..the picture with all the mixed up play doh is quite disturbing to me…. Hi, my name is Andrea and I don’t mix play doh. But, and there is always a but, I do like the rainbow hair dudes!!!!!!
Jennifer P. - okay, I admit, I’m a “don’t mix the play-doh” mom…..only now I have NO idea why! The stuff’s like 50 cents a can, so it’s not like an irreplacable toy, right? I guess I just say it because that’s what I was always told. I think I’ll let my kids go mix up some play doh right now!
And I also love the butter dish. And I also think little Annie’s hair rocks! Bed head hairdo’s are the best :)!
