What started out as a fun, yet controlled outdoor activity turned into a little bit of mayhem rather quickly.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A little shaving cream with food coloring outside in the water table seemed like a great idea..<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It was<\/i> squishy and totally fun to feel<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

And exciting to paint on the concrete.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

But squirting the shaving cream proved WAY more fun than playing with the already proportioned out.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

And this is where I realized I didn’t mix in the colors very well and the majority of the food coloring was still on the spoons, therefore ending up on all clothing<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

And Gwyn then discovered, “hey, this is fun to wipe on myself…”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

And all over the yard…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

And squishing between little toes..is incredible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

After her clothes were doused in colored goodness, I decided it was time to remove clothing. This is when Cal decided to wake up from his nap, so in I went to get him, and while I was inside Gwyn took the opportunity to lather herself up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

While nursing Cal outside, Gwyn really went to town covering herself and anything else she could find; I think knowing<\/i> my hands were tied.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

She even went after the dogs and poor Sammy had pink paws for a few days after.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Looking \u00a0over the shaving cream engulfed backyard, pink poochie paws and toddler\u00a0laden\u00a0with cream, I realized things were getting a little out of hand, so I quickly put Cal in the bouncy seat in the bathroom, then carried Gwyn through the house with my arms stretched in front of me, straight into the tub.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Not before getting hit, though.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

While my Type-A personality was on edge most of the time during this messy activity, I saw just how much fun Gwyn was having and just let it happen. And she had The BEST time.<\/p>\n

So, it was worth it.<\/p>\n

Notes for next time:
\n-Thoroughly mix colors beforehand, or just nix colors all together and give toddler a can of shaving cream.
\n-Put on play clothes or go nakey from the start
\n-Remove all animals from the area
\n-Start activity at the beginning of baby’s nap time so all grownup hands are available
\n-Get unscented shaving cream so backyard doesn’t smell like an old-time barber shop.<\/p>\n

Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
