Slick Chick

OK, so I just had to write a quick blurb about this. Lately, my kids have been complaining of dry skin and lips. So we've been going through a lot of lotion and chapstick, and Aubrey has become obsessed with rubbing chapstick or vaseline all over her lips. Some days, she will throw a hissy fit if you try to take her chapstick away from her. This morning, at 5 a.m., I hear someone in my kids bathroom. I can hear the cabinets and drawers opening and closing. I step out of bed and see Aubrey peering into my room, and she says "I need chapstick." I go to pick her up to put her back to bed and realize that she's gotten our BIG tub of vaseline out and pretty much wiped it all over her face, hair, neck, chest, and it is all over her hands and pajamas. Not just a little bit, but thick, yellow GLOBS of vaseline everywhere. It was disguisting!! Have you ever tried washing that stuff off?!! It doesn't come off! I pretty much had to hose her down and scrub it all off with a towel.

HA! What a task...and at 5am? She is so funny. Vaseline does NOT come off with water - oh wow.

Ughh..That does sound miserable, especially that early. Last thing you want to do is a scrub down. Knowing me, I would have put a towel down on their bed and gone back to bed.
