I went to work today with the children. We had a large order come into the store and I wanted to place everything on the shelves. I was inventorying and pricing with Sarah, when I decided to peak in on the children. They were behind the craft counter, playing. As I rounded the corner, my breath sucked in VERY audibly. Sarah heard me and came over to check. She had a similar reaction.
Ava was sitting on the floor and Paulchen was standing behind her. He had the green glitter and was shaking it all over her. SHE WAS COVERED! He was promptly slapped on the hand and I took her outside to shake off the glitter. Clouds of it poofed from her outfit and hair and she was STILL covered in glitter. I tried to rinse it out of her hair in the sink at work, but to no avail. When we came home I finally treated it like cradle cap; oiling her hair and combing. I repeated this process numerous times and washed her hair. I was able to get most of the glitter out. The rest however will just come out over time.
As much of a pain as the glitter was; I hate glitter, always have, Ava was SO adorable! Her hair and face were covered in green glitter. She really did look like a little pixie or fairy. It was one of those times I seriously regretted not having my camera. if glitter weren't such a pain in the rear, I would almost consider covering her again just for a photo. Oh well.
