Better Mom Day 13: Get Messy

If you're new to the 31 day series, over 1200 bloggers have chosen a theme they want to write about every day in October ranging from food or fashion to faith or fabric.  See the whole list at The Nester.  I decided to focus on trying to be a better mom, and you can see my first post here.

Day 13: Get Messy

Today I busted out some shaving cream and food coloring and let the kids jump in. Well, not literally I guess.  They painted with q-tips first, and then the girls moved onto fingers and hands. 

Asher wasn't really interested in touching the stuff. When they finished, I helped wash their hands with Dawn, and it did a pretty good job at getting most of the color off. I knew what we were getting into, and if their hands are a little gray/green for a couple of days I'm ok with it.
