Oh, Our Crazy Girls

Ava~
This girl is crazy and I never know what's going to come out of her mouth.  When we were at her cousins' house for their birthday, Ava was in the room with her Aunt Jessie when she was blowing up an air mattress for one of her kiddos.  Ava thought it was her bed for the night and quickly crawled in.  Jessie kindly told her that Addie was going to sleep their and her bed was down stairs.  Ava, in all seriousness says, "What do you expect me to do (Ava walks to the corner of the room) stand in the corner and sleep like a horse??"  Doing her best sad face, horse impression.

Here she is demonstrating for us how a horse sleeps ;)

I blame the entire following situation on too much Easter candy LOL!!  On Sunday night the girls would not go to sleep.  They were stalling at their best and after about 45 minutes of asking for this and that and me having to walk up the stairs multiple times; Ella hollers down one last time and asks for chap stick.  I hollered back at her to go get some and get back in bed.  They finally quieted down after that.  Matt and I walked up the stairs to go to bed about an hour later and at the top of the stairs I look into Ella's room and find her sitting in her bed, with an empty jar of Vaseline in her lap, the entire contents of the jar in her hair.  Matt and I immediately burst out laughing and Ella immediately bursts into tears.  We tried to reassure her that she wasn't in trouble although we have no idea what she was thinking!!  So we quickly gathered her up and took her to the bathtub.  We tried shampoo but it was obvious very quickly that shampoo was not going to do the trick.  So here we are; 10pm...Ella is screaming in the bathtub, I'm trying to scrub her hair, Matt is "googling" how to get Vaseline out of hair, and Ava is trying to figure out why we are all making so much noise and then starts to tell Ella over and over again that she is not in trouble and that she is going to be okay.  We learn that cornstarch is supposed to remove Vaseline per Google.  More than that we have learned that cornstarch does help but takes a long time.  So it is now Wednesday and we have done at least 15 washes of cornstarch, 1 small wash of Dawn soap, and lots of shampoo.  It is slowly getting better!  Every time I think about the surprise of finding Ella in bed with a tub of Vaseline it makes me laugh clear down in my belly!!  This girl keeps us on our toes!

Ella on Monday, after about 6 washes with cornstarch!!
