A Favor, Real Quickly Like...
July 21, 2011
Sorry this is short, but I had to take Noah to summer camp this morning and I've been out running errands/appointments all day with Ezra and Ike and just got home but OH HEY JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW LONG THIS DORA THE EXPLORER STICKER HAS BEEN IN MY HAIR?
BECAUSE YEAH. THAT'S AWESOME.
All morning, friend. All morning.
It totally works for ya... Maybe start a new fashion.
I've been staring at this post for at least two minutes. So, yeah, definitely THAT long. And until you explained it, I thought it was a barrette....so, maybe anyone who saw you on your errands did too?
Wait, do you guys even say "barrette" in the States? Hairpin? Hair decoration? Sticky piece of paper posing as an accessory?
At first I thought it might be baby puke. That would have been even more awesome. ;)
I'm going to go with 7 weeks. That's about how old Ike is, right?
Maybe it'll become the next big thing, like feathers.

At least you have makeup on and look like you've showered.. that's a plus 1 for you.
Amalah,
You should write a novel.
Seriously, write a book. You have an incredible narrative voice.
I was just relieved it was a sticker and not a feather. Ha!

It's very Milan 2012, darling, not to worry. At least that's what you'll have to tell anyone who asks about it the next time they see you.
LOL! Well, I thought it was a barrette so maybe no one else noticed.
Looked like a hair clip to me. I thought you were going go tell us about some new Etsy shop where you purchased it.
At least it's not a fruit sticker, right?
I walked around with sweet potato puree in my hair all day yesterday. At least you are sanitary ;)
It does look intentional, if that counts.
I'm just impressed that you've been out running around with multiple kids and it appears that you are wearing makeup, a non-t-shirt like shirt and your hair is fluffy. Dora sticker be-damned, you look great, mama!
I frequently went to work with a yogurt handprint on my shoulder blade. It took my boss 6 months to quit telling me there was something on my back.

I have two girls and I find myself with a Cinderella bow in my hair almost daily. They rip them out, then I put them in my hair to try to make sure I don't lose it and.... hours later. At least yours wasn't your own fault!
Hysterical! Just last week I had a banana sticker stuck on my chest, right between the girls for gosh knows how long. Fun times!
Aw, it looks like a sweet little blossom!
Yesterday I picked spaghetti and a claw sheath from my cat out of my daughter's hair. I have no idea how either of them got there.

That's great! Just before class one day, I stood up, reay to teach and just before I got started, I readjusted my top. A good fifteen cheerios fell out from inside of it! How did they get there and how did they stay there for so long? Everybody had a good laugh at the new mom back at work!
Still looking pretty glam-fabulous, even with a sticker in your hair. :)
Um, sticker aside... you should not be able to look that HAT when you have 3 kids in the age range that yours how.
Hat, hot.. yeah... one of those.
Love the cheerios story.
I'm so happy others besides me have sticker stories.
When I was 8 months pregnant, I kept my hyper 3.5 year old entertained during shopping trips by giving her packets of stickers. One day the only available answer to "Where can I stick them, Mommy?" was "Oh, I dunno -- just put them on me."
So she happily followed me through the grocery, carefully decorating the areas she could reach with stickers. Which I then, of course, totally forgot about.
Many hours later my neighbor finally said "Um, do you *know* you have stickers all over your butt?"
Oh man, how many places have I been between the grocery and now? Uh, lots.
I went to Target on Saturday with blue marker AND stickers on my legs after sitting cross-legged after doing crafts with my two year old.
Even better, I was wearing a cute skirt, you know, to look summery and all. Gaaaahhhhhh.
Once, when my daughter was about 3 months old, I was only half done putting on my makeup before she woke up screaming and I had to go get her. And then I fed her, and then it was time to get out the door before the store that I needed to go to closed....and when I got there everyone was looking at me kind of funny. When I got back to the car, I looked in the mirror and realized that I never went back to finish my makeup, and I had only put eyeshadow on ONE of my eyes. Now I have two kids, and I always, always finish both eyes before I go get a screaming baby!
Huh... I just thought it was a barrette. But I do love that you left it in after posting this. AWESOME!
That IS awesome.
It is awesome. I hope you left it in and wore it proudly.
It goes good with the shirt. Love the shirt!
New fashion trend, maybe? Sleep-deprived-mom, look for it on the runway this fall!
P.S. Saw the tweet - LOVE that you forgot and left it in!
Ha! At least it's not gum?
well, that depends, what day is it?
It's hot :) you should wear it to sparklecorn. Where I may actually act like a blithering idiot if I see you :) it's my first BlogHer... Can you tell?
I woke up with Edward Pattinson's teeth tattooed on my ass after a mommy-cougar bender involving blended drinks and a midnight Twilight screening. I told my husband the tattoo was an instructive manual for my dentist when my teeth fall out from nighttime grinding.
haha..it makes you are so cute...like this style
Hey, at least it was only in your hair. My mom (after babysitting my daughter one afternoon) went to the grocery store with a big purple foam Dora sticker stuck to her butt. The lady in line behind her said, uh, ma'am? You have.....something....on your pants.......
Just read Elizabeth's comment about stickers on the butt after I posted mine...awesome!
I thought you were on the cutting edge in hair design, so I obviously have my own issues. It looks like a teeny, tiny flower pin. Let's go with that.
I'll see your Dora sticker and raise you a lime green hair extension that I wore to CVS yesterday, courtesy of a makeover by my 6-year-old. Score!
Awesome :)
It prolly FEELS like it's been there since Noah was about two, I bet. :o\ At least it's not a noodle! or a wet cheerio! or vom!
Hugs to you and all your boys.
You look so much like your boys there. I mean because of the facial expression, not the sticker.

I woke up with a Cars band-aid in my hair recently. But I only went to yoga before I discovered it. You win.
Always I have weird things in my hair !!! Ahhahaha
Stickers are like your family's Achille's Heel, eh? :)
I'm going out on a limb and gonna say just a few minutes. Totally possible as you grabbed things out of the car and leaned against one of the kids carseats where they unwittingly "lost" their sticker then you got it in your hair, go inside and viola you caught it before anyone else even saw it ; )
