2 Toddlers + 1 Tub Eurcerin + Indirect Adult Supervision = The Clip Below

We were all sitting in the living room occupied with ourselves for about 20 minutes or so. Brianna had gone downstairs to watch a video and we assumed that the two little ones went with her so it didn't really occur to us that it was quiet....too quiet. Owen suddenly burst into the room and stated, "We're playing with lotion!" We quickly got up to investigate and my thoughts went immediately to the pump lotion on the back of the toilet in the bathroom. A big mess may have happened but it wouldn't be so hard to clean. Unfortunately Owen ran right by the bathroom and into...our bedroom. The scene that unfolded before us was ...well you saw the clip. Of course it couldn't just be regular lotion but Eucerin, basically the consistency of pure Crisco. We had a good clean up crew though and the best tool to help in the clean up was a shower scraper (the kind you squeege the walls of the shower off with after you clean it). We used it to scrape the lotion off of the walls, dressers, and any other flat surface. Fantastic and Windex seemed to help with some of the greasy aftermath. Owen and Kyla were totally oblivious to the disaster and were very proud of their accomplishment.

This has never happened with Owen or Kyla before and we finally figured out how. Kyla had never gotten into the Eucerin before and it had been in the same place for months. I realized why, she couldn't get the top off. She didn't know how to unscrew the lid. Well guess who knew how. The two masterminds worked together to pull off an incident that will go down in the annals of Olson and Jenness history.

Maybe we could win $100,000 on America's Funniest Home Videos. I will never laugh at those poor people again with the kids that "decorate" the house....(well, yes I will but I will definitely feel their pain).

On the bright side, Owen and Kyla will not need to worry about having dry hands for quite some time.
