Blue chalk and a bucket of water...who knew that's what Smurf's were made of? Ava stirred up a batch of the blue sidewalk "paint" the other day...she had a blast! F.Y.I., if your children think this would be a fun creative outlet, let me be the first to warn you...this paste does not wash off easily! I had to scrub Ava's legs multiple times with warm soapy water, but that still couldn't remove the color from her nails. Adult strength whitening toothpaste and an old toothbrush worked better than soap, but still left her slightly blue! I have yet to find something to remove the footprints from our bathtub! I struggle with letting kids be kids and get messy, so this was a good activity for both of us...I hope I can relax more in the future!
Oh...here comes trouble! Ava gets messy from time to time...but Molly gets DIRTY! This episode still makes me throw up a little in my mouth...
While I was cleaning the girl's room over the weekend, I thought to myself "How wonderful is my family? Everyone is quietly entertaining themselves and I am getting some serious cleaning done!" As I carried the laundry basket down stairs I caught a glimpse of Molly standing a little too close to the toilet...YUCK!
I thought "It isn't too bad, I just bleached the bathroom yesterday..." Oh, it was bad! Molly was splashing around in USED toilet water! Ava had gone #2 , forgotten to flush, left the lid up and the door open! Gross! I gave Molly the longest, soapiest bath ever! Erik needs to stop working weekends!

I think we've all have horrible poo stories. Molly's is mild. Love that messy playtime. It actually sounds very therapeutic.
I love this picture, It reminds me of when Braydin took the whole bottle of lotion and put it all over her, hair, the bed face it was a little bit easier then the Smurf clean up, and her hair was very soft afterwards. The things kids love to do they don't care they are blue they love it.
