The peanut gallery indicated that my stock picture from yesterday was not good enough and perhaps my audience would appreciate a picture of Maggie instead.  So, here you go!

 Brrr!

 Maggie went to a friend's house to bake cookies this afternoon and on her way home, she and the other little girl got into a bottle of perfume in the backseat.  Oh MY.  They REEKED when Maggie got dropped off here.  I asked if they put the perfume on their necks or wrists.  No, their hands.  ALL over their hands.

When I was cleaning out Maggie's coat pockets so I could put it through the wash, I discovered a bunch of beads.

I asked Maggie where she had gotten them and she said, "At school."  I asked if her teachers told her it was okay and she said that they did.  I then asked if that was what her teachers would say if I asked them.  Maggie's face crumpled and she began to SOB.  Ahh, drama.  We had a nice long talk about how we don't take things that don't belong to us and we should always ask before we take something.  I also told her that she was going to have to take the beads back to school and apologize to her teachers.  She is not too keen to do that.   Then we had a big hug and I let her help me wrap presents for a while.  Good times being a mom.
