Ah yes, how I am leery of unexpected quiet. I once investigated a weird quiet to find that my then 18 mo old had gotten ahold of some soft cheese and had smeared it all over the glass topped coffee table and into the wooden cracks where the glass sat in the frame and she was happily licking away her work of art.
Just yesterday My 2 yr old dumped a whole bottle of Bath and Body hand sanitizer in my bed and then covered it with a pillow. I wondered why my room smelled so good! Was it at least a nice flavor of lotion that your girl used?
I remember my now 10 year old, then 2 year old, getting into the thick diaper cream. What a mess to get that out...that was the first time we shaved his head!!
Count us in for 1) large jar of vaseline 2) large bottle of hand soap 3) large bottle of lotion 4) large container of fish food 5) rolls and rolls of toilet paper
Ahh yes, thanks for the reminders of these wonderful days
I am Mary. 20 years ago I married my high school sweetheart. We have kids in college, high school, junior high, grade school, preschool, and diapers, 8 altogether. Half arrived via adoption. I homeschool. I kiss owies. I write. I eat chocolate. I garden. I cook. I take pictures obsessively. I am very busy and very, very blessed.
I write at my Owlhaven Wordpress blog, my Ethiopia adoption blog and at LargerFamilies.com

that is so true. Our quiet moment resulted in green marker on every available surface in two rooms and a hallway within about 2 minutes.
Ah, yes. The deafening quiet of children having just a little too much fun. I love your attitude. You just make me smile.

That sounds WAY too familiar!! With my 3 yr old son... it was nail polish... all over his feet, carpet and lips!!
Oh I remember a similar quiet moment - only it was with lipstick!!
I need to get a scanner so I can post some of those long-ago pictures!!
Quiet children = DANGER!
HA that cracks me up!!!!

Laughing out loud! Count me and my 2 year old in the ranks!
Yes, quiet moments around my house have meant toddlers playing in the fireplace ashes, kitty litter box, vaseline, and lipstick. Silence is scary.
Your little cutie looks so pleased with herself! ;^)

How busy are you! You put me to shame. I just wrote a blog about taking an opt out day and I only have one child!!

She looks so moisturized! ;)
Too cute...she is so adorable and photogenic!
She must be extra soft, now, too! ;)
Thank you for dropping in on my site the other day!

I was groaning and laughing at this so much... my non blogging, non interested husband came over to take a look.
She sure does look happy though!! :-)
Oh, man!! At first when it's quiet, I'm thankful for the reprieve, until it's been quiet for too long. It's always a good sign of mischief!
