Note to self

...when your child gets into your clear nail polish and mistakes it for makeup and then proceeds to apply it all over his/her cheeks, neck or chest, you should know that when you try to use fingernail polish remover, it will sting the cheeks and they will scream uncontrollably and run from you. Using soap and water may remove it, but not right away. This is especially true if the clear polish is applied to the skin more than one time, thus making the skin oh so shiny. You may have the thought that you have ruined the child's skin or caused an irritation because his/her cheeks are so red from the vigorous scrubbing, but not to worry. The cheeks regain their normal color the next day. Also, be sure to take a picture of this adventure as it is one that you will not want to forget.

We were making a haunted house and we put nail polish all over my face and it was burning my eyes, so what did we use to get it off, remover!!! OOOOWWWW. but i lived, remember, our mom's used to wash our mouth's out with soap and we are psuedo normal adults. she is so cute, i can't believe she did that.

OH NO! That's awful! I did try and scrub off a St Patty tatoo on William's cheek before church and it was red for hours! Good to know, thanks for the advice!
