Score

Tuesday, July 31, 2012

Yesterday, in search of the perfect table lamps, I drug Audrey around to the Kenrick Antique Mall, Value Village and TFA. She behaved marvelously so I let her pick out a new CD for the car, because frankly, if I have to listen to The Wiggles sing Hot Potato one more time, I'm going to seriously lose it. Sadly, the CD she picked out, some Baby Einstein crap, makes The Wiggles sound positively fantastic. My attempts to steer her towards They Might Be Giants were fruitless. Denied. So my only scores yesterday were: 
  • 2 vintage globes
  • 2 vintage women's handkerchiefs 
  • 1 cat raincoat for Audrey that is seriously awesome
We painted after dinner and so I do also have some spiffy new kids art hanging in the landing now. It looks totally contemporary. When I suggested, "maybe you could paints some stripes and circles," she retorted, "I can paint whatever I want to paint." Score another one for the wee one. I think she is winning.
