Lesson Learned
Two lessons were learned this evening as I put the children to bed.
1) Do not let four year olds take glow sticks to bed as a cool night light.
2) Aforementioned glow sticks are filled with non toxic glowing liquid.
It was before nine and both the children were sleepy/asleep. Woohoo! Aaron tucked Rebecca into bed as I tiptoed Levi into his room and lay him down. Before I could tiptoe back out of his room I hear Rebecca... "Guys, come here!" I tried to hush her, but when I turned around I was surprised to see her coated in glowing green goop!!! I called for Aaron and began wiping her off with my hand, thinking this stuff was going to burn a hole in her skin, she begins crying as I try to wipe her tongue with a washcloth. I passed the clean up job to Aaron and ran to the kitchen to call poison control...Rebecca was complaining of it burning by this point. Thankfully, poison control assured me that although it stings, (she's not the first child obviously) it isn't harmful. Rebecca was pretty freaked out by her glowing clothes and bedding so everything had to be changed and to finish cleaning her up we had to wipe her down in the bathroom with the lights off (this stuff is invisible with the lights on), which got her even more upset, so Aaron had to hold a washcloth over her eyes, to keep her from seeing herself glowing and I was trying to wipe up all the glowing spots. LOL What a night! I was amazed at how it must have sprayed when she bit into it....glowing specks were everywhere on her bed, pjs, arms, face, etc.! All's well now and we will shortly be off to sleep ourselves. I feel sorry for Rebecca because this was the second traumatic event today. This afternoon she was stung twice by a yellow jacket hornet at the park when we attempted a picnic. Its just not been her day......

Before & After
One of the things I love about our house is the fact that there is so much for me to change and play with. The colors up when we bought the house were livable, so I've been able to take my time in choosing how to redo rooms....which means I always have something to paint, and I LOVE to paint!!! This weekend we tackled the master bedroom. New blinds that fit inside the window frames, a few new pics for the dresser, and a fresh new color make it feel like a different place. The before and after pics.....I just wish the sun were shining today so this paint could really show itself off, its such a great icy blue/grey.
