Bag it

We took an afternoon trip to the lake last Saturday afternoon, where Garrett fished from the shore and I lounged on a blanket (that's what I do best).  The girls started tearing into my purse.  I couldn't believe how much stuff I had in there - I just had to document:

The bag

A banana

Formula

A bottle of water for formula

Water for Abby

The remains from our picnic lunch, which was in my purse before we ate, too

Checkbook

Sunscreen

Play phone

Dental floss

String cheese

Large lotion

Jar of baby food (top center), granola bar (blurry on the right)

Puffs (baby snacks)

Gum

spoon for the baby food

Makeup brush

Mentha lip shine, regular mint (I'm addicted to this stuff)

A dollar, hand sanitizer, pens

Travel-sized lotion

In an outside bag pocket: bite-sized Snickers wrapper, clear hair bands

An un-opened package of earphones from our last airplane trip

The tickets from our last trip (btw, that flight from SLC to Denver was the SCARIEST flight I have ever been on.  Crazy turbulence!  I was gripping the armrests almost the whole time.

Another Mentha lip shine (this one is extra minty) (see, I'm addicted)

Earrings

3 diapers

Wipes

Comb, large

Another comb, small

and finally.....

Target coupon

Not shown, but in the bag: my cell phone, a small notebook I keep to jot things down, and a soda (well, sparkling water) that I drank.  And some feminine products, but who really wants to see those?

I realize that this was kind of excessive, and I certainly need to clean out my purse.  But I usually have about this much stuff with me wherever I go (I usually have more small toys - not sure why there weren't many in there today).  Oh and I usually have my small point-and-shoot camera in there, too.

What do you keep in your bag?

Looks like I know who to ask if I ever need something.
