obligatory pen photo--doesn't every parent have one?

So I was trying to make a grocery list while Evelyn was watching Pippi. She was playing pretty quietly until she started saying "lipstick, lipstick", and looked down to see her playing with the contents of Mommy's purse, and specifically, an uncapped pen. I was able to take it away from her before she managed to draw on her lips but apparently, that was still a little too late. At least she didn't put her eye out with it.... sigh.

Great day for her to skip a nap, huh? I was really counting on this blessedly baby-free block of time to get things done, but after two hours of trying to get her to sleep, I finally gave up. She really has craptastic timing sometimes. At least she should be easy to get to sleep tonight.
