Elllie's fall collection.

Ol Mel is tired today, and well... it is game day. BIG game day! (gotta beat those Florida Gators!!) Soooo, this is going to be a short little post.

It is all about Ellie's "stuff". She either refers to the contents of her purse as her "tings" or her "stuff". When we head out of the house, she frantically looks for her purse, and if the contents are out on the floor (as they OFTEN are!), she screams, "Mom, wait. I need to get my tings." Or "Mom, wait. I gotta put my stuff in it."

And do you wanna see the "stuff"?
It is all pretty appropriate, I'd say. She carries 4 cellphones. I mean, ya just never know!
Broken shades and broken lipstick. But, hey. How many of us actually have both of those "tings" in our purses too!?
A wallet. (And please note the green M&M on the wallet! "Hey Jake!") and a few accessories.

Those accessories include a couple of necklaces, several jelly bracelets, a few bangles, and a watch! I swear that kid cracks us up!

I don't even really carry a purse, so I am not sure where she developed this infatuation.
And then, she stuffs it all into her Vera Bradley fall collection purse. She has other purses (MANY!), but, if I'm lying, I'm dying...she ONLY chooses one of her TWO Veras. She has never heard the word "Vera", so it isn't like she actually knows the difference. YET, at TWO.... she KNOWS the difference. Oh boy. Teenage is going to be ROUGH!
