I MUST be insane!!!

Day 1 of Christmas Break and while I have been home all week, quarantined with the flu, so technically started my break earlier this week, today was the first day I have felt human again!!! 

Why must I be crazy? 

The other day my eye spied a bottle of shaving cream and I knew just who would love to get messy in it!! 

So I lathered up the table and let 2 of my little loves entertain themselves!

It took about 2.2 seconds for these little loves to cover the table top entirely in shaving cream.  You know, I envisioned this as a little mini school lesson – Let’s practice winter words, like snow, flake, cold, etc… Nope, my children just wanted to slather shaving cream from the 4 corners and draw Barbie and Ninja Turtles!  Why did I think for one minute, I could get words on a table!!!DSC_0631

Even Mr. Jingles and Bell decided that they too wanted to have some shaving cream fun!

While the children were covered, all slathered in shaving cream, I attempted to redo the ornament Baby Otis ate off my counter last week.  Despite the fact that I was a mere 2 feet from this madness and could hear, see and witness it all, I was a bit taken aback when I turned the island corner to discover the destruction left behind from the Shaving Cream Experience!

Literally, it was dripping off the table onto the floor.  Not sure how shaving cream drips but it was.

But, mess or no mess, Wy summed it up best and made my day when she said

“Mom, this was the greatest new idea!”  

That was enough.  Messes get cleaned up. 

Now for snuggle time on the couch with cookies and The Grinch! 

Tis the season!
