All Lotioned Up. . .

Silence. . .Silence is never a good thing with kids.
It is the calm before the storm. . . when suddenly all of your peaceful, serene thoughts are interrupted by the realization that you have left your kids unattended for longer than 30 seconds. . .and they are perfectly quiet. . . Q-U-I-E-T translates T-R-O-U-B-L-E.
Fortunately, it was just lotion today-- not Aspen ripping the wall paper off her walls, emptying out her drawers, pulling the drawers out of her dresser, and pounding on them w/ a piece of wood that broke off in the process, or helping Chaz scuba dive in the toilet while combing his hair with the toilet brush, or how about throwing eggs in the kitchen while feeding the dogs hot dogs out of the fridge, coloring on the walls with pen, then painting her toenails and the carpet with bright pink fingernail polish. . .(and yes--Aspen has done all of these things). Today was just lotion, which was still messy, but bearable. The good thing is that both kids were pleased with the lotion experience instead of just one, so I took pictures, and threw both kids in the bath tub. Good thing they are cute!!!!
