(no subject)

Got home last night just before dinner (as opposed to just after, which is happening far too often lately). Ms.'v is slamming around the kitchen, and the kids are parked in front of the TV. Odd for them to be watching Dora so close to dinner time...I poke my head in to say hi and notice two things: (1) their hair is wet and (2) they are each radiating waves of "I'm-not-gonna-move-in-case-something-happens", and they won't meet my eye. The wet hair is weird because I bathed them both just the night before.

Back into the kitchen, I open with "So what's with..."

Knuckles white on wooden spoon, ms'v whirls around. "SUNSCREEN!"

"What?"

"They decided it would be fun.... to pretend that glitter glue.....was SUNSCREEN!!!"

Then I noticed the very large, very, very EMPTY glue bottle in the garbage can.

Then a little voice came from behind me: _{"Mommy said 5 minutes later and she would have had to cut off all my hair."}





Yet another situation that wasn't in any of the books we read.

and maybe not even he

Probably only of interest to redsash (unless you are a big fan of urban exploration photos)

Urban exploration photos of some local sites, incl. the old Kaufman plant and the Bauer building, currently morphing into loft apartments and Vincenzo's grocery.
