Mama in New England

This is us, as I navigate motherhood and enjoy the amazing adventure.

We are a family of four, a cat and a dog, living outside Boston, Massachusetts. I started this blog as a way to update friends and family who are afar, but it seems to have become somewhat therapeutic & helps me laugh when I need to.

Painting the hall




I've been painting the hall lately, as it is covered with grubby handprints and marks. 
I was painting and Lanie asked me, "how it felt?"
We talked about how it was sticky and wet and not nice to touch. 
Next time I looked, I saw this: 

I was completely surprised for some reason and she immediately ran upstairs and hid. Vivian went up to tell her that I wasn't mad, just surprised and to help her wash her hand. She came back down to report that Lanie's hand was clean and that she had talked to her. For days I couldn't figure out where she had wiped her hand and eventually figured I'd find it at some point. Yesterday I was tidying up her room and found my glove in her toy basket. I looked at it wondering why it was so dusty and then realized it was covered in dried green paint. 
Mystery solved.
