In 2009 I traded meetings and lunch breaks for potty training and play dates when I quit my full time job to be a full time mom to my independent and very "spirited" five year old and my incredibly curious at times mischievous two year old. Every day is something new...this is my life and all that it entails.

The Meanest Practical Joke Pretty Much Ever
Okay so around our house we are always playing jokes on one another....scaring each other...and just all out having fun (mostly at each other’s expense.) We especially like pranking our children (I am aware that is not the nicest thing to do...but it is undoubtedly always funny)Most of my practical jokes are improvised....such as tonight when I put on a peel off face mask...(it is just what it sounds like…a mask you put on your face to clean it and peel it off after it dries) I was sitting folding laundry watching a movie with Paige while it was drying and then I had this brilliant idea....I started peeling off the mask when I turned to Paige and started acting like it was my actual skin that was peeling off...over the next three minutes I had to try not to literally laugh out loud as she looked at me with a horrified look and started saying things like "oh my gosh...your pretty skin!!!!!!!!!"...."why would your skin do that?"....."stop picking at it...leave it alone"...."well mom you used to have beautiful skin, but you just have to pick at it"....then she informed me that she has healthy skin and it is not going to fall off. I am pretty sure that could be classified as the meanest practical joke pretty much ever considering my target was four years old...and because she was fully convinced in her heart of hearts...that in fact that was my actual skin that was falling off....but the dramatic...totally
"Paige way" that she reacted had me almost completely rolling on the ground. And just for the record...after I gained my composure I told her it was a mask :-)
