vaseline & ken dolls

Saturday night I went to my friend Danielle's bachelorette party and had WAY to much fun.  With that said, Sunday I received the World's Worst Mother Award.  I was tired and crabby all day.

Monday morning came around and I had to make it up to my sweet children for putting up with me the day before.  I decided to make french toast for breakfast in hopes for their forgiveness.  The way to my children's heart is definitely maple syrup. 

I called the kids down for breakfast.  Maya did not come.  I went upstairs and found this...

She found a tub of Vaseline.


"I pretty Mommy?" she asked me when I walked in.


These pictures do NOT do this giant gooey greasy mess justice. 



If you ever have this mess to clean up, alcohol works on the carpet and dish soap on the hair.  As for the body.  Lots of paper towels and time.  Ugh.  It's a nice way to start a Monday morning before your coffee.  But really how can you be upset with a two year old this cute?  

In other household news, Saturday I bought a Barbie Dream House for the girls for only $2!  I know they are a little young but I loved Barbie when I was a little girl and always dreamed of having her house.  I couldn't pass it up. 

They only had one doll that they received for Christmas from a relative this past year, so we went to Target to buy another.  Zander (my almost 6 yr old BOY) begged me to buy a Ken doll for him...so I did.  Two of them, one for each boy.  The boys have been playing Barbies all weekend. 



I haven't the heart to tell them they are "girl toys"



I have to come clean before school starts....or their friends come over.



It thrills me to  have these pictures to torture them when they are older. 
Evil?  maybe.  Funny?  definitely.

When I heard vaseline in the title I had to read on.

When I was little my hair was thick, fine and so long I sat on it half the time. One day my mom came in to find I rubbed vaseline in my hair very thoroughly. I don't think she took pics though... ;)
