Mess

I remember reading my friend Kelly's blog awhile back when her son had gotten into the vaseline and smeared it all over the place. I thought about what a mess that must have been and that I should probably move Meredith's out of her top drawer now that she is getting into it all the time to get stuff. Well, silly me I didn't ever move it and I regretted that last night when I walked in her room to see an open jar of vaseline with almost nothing left in it. It didn't take long to see where she had smeared it....all over the wall, artfully smoothed over the top of her plastic stool, carpet, hair, comforter, clothes......oh boy, I was NOT happy! She said 'Mommy, my skool (aka 'stool') is slippery'. I just sent her out of the room before I did something I wouldn't be proud of!

Later that night while she was in the tub, she said 'Mommy, you weren't very nice' and I prompty told her back that she hadn't been very nice either and she agreed. I can be a 2.75 yr old too!

(I also found a tube of chapstick with the contents scraped out...I'm wondering where that will show up)

Hahaha - my kids have smeared sunscreen on one of our walls, and Lydia got into the diaper cream once. And a few weeks ago Lydia covertly walked down a hallway and drew "M"s at random intervals in pen. Vaseline does sound quite awful though!

I think our kids talked and decided it would be fun to get into these yucky products and smear them all over the house! Kiera has been writing things everywhere...like in my van! And I guess she felt the van needed some decorating and put a few stickers on it. I figure that we will all have a big laugh one day when their kids do the same thing...and I may even encourage it!
