Never (unless you have money to throw away), leave your pump dispenser of Joico K-Pak Leave-In Protectant on the counter, or your four-year-old could mistake it for hand soap, and decide to clean the sink for you.
sigh.

Wart Removal With Nail Polish
Interesting... watching The Doctors, and there was a Mom on the show who used nail polish to get rid of her son's wart.
She used an old bottle that she didn't want anymore (I don't think you'd want to use it on your nails after applying it to a wart), and she covered the wart on her son's foot. A few days later she picked the nail polish off and the wart came off with it - painlessly and effectively.
I think it probably works on the same principal as duct tape, in that it triggers an immune system response. When I used the duct tape it took several weeks, whereas the nail polish supposedly works much faster.
I think this is a remedy I'm going to try if we ever have another wart appear.

So Busy Lately!!!
A quick post for today as I continue my running like a headless chicken...
A & J are on their way to the bathroom to brush their teeth before school. The family dog is devouring A's leftover breakfast.
A: "Mommy! Can you please save my peanut butter toast? I want to eat it after school."
(oops ;-)

School Lunch Ideas
Just discovered these the other day: Mini Honey Mandarin Oranges.
Yum! They're sweeter than larger Mandarins, and they fit in the palm of your hand - perfect for little fingers (the pic below is Joseph peeling one of them).
Even picky Alyssa agreed to take one in her school lunch, along with the following comment: "Mommy you know that's a language too, right?"
Too cute ;-)

How Do You Remove Play Doh From Carpet?
Ohhhhh.... just figured this one out!!
Let it dry, then use the narrow plastic vacuum attachment to "scrape" it off. The dried Play Doh gets flaked off the carpet fibres and then sucked up into the vacuum (wahoo!!).
This is the best method I've found so far (and believe me, I'm pretty sure I've tried almost everything).
Re: staining - I haven't noticed any, and our carpet is light grey. Not sure about cream or white carpets - I have no idea if Play Doh stains or not.
(Of course you can always do what a good friend of mine does - keeps the Play Doh in the basement where they have laminate flooring ;-)
