My Kids are the Messiest

Filed Under: Family, Photography

When Jess at Four Plus An Angel said they were doing a “My Kids are the Messiest” contest I immediately thought of the time Dustyn smeared Butt Paste all over his room and himself. That day I was too upset to take photos, so I decided to do the second most messiest.

Remember this photo?

Dustyn was clapping with his sand/water mixture and it got all over his face. This happens on a daily basis. He comes in DIRTY every day. He does have a lot of fun though.

The contest is open until the 29th. So make sure you head over there and enter. There are prizes involved. 🙂

Oh and I just saw that I was picked for the Top 5 for Crazy Days of Summer.

    Nasty! That does look like a mess! But how happy is he? I don't think that grin could be any cuter! I remember my mom having to literally have to hose off the boys before they were allowed in the house, as one day they were so covered in dirt she couldn't tell who was who!
    • NapTime MomTog says

    That is an unfortunate color / texture of the muddy sand on his face, I seriously thought it was poop at first, yikes!!!! He is messy indeed, but it's a great picture of him!

    lOL the butt paste story is a hoot;) Totally been there... my "butt paste" story was when Chris found my pink chapstick and then climbed into baby Lydia's crib with it. Her face and his were painted with chapstick... then the wall, the crib bars.... basically everything. And everything smelled like strawberry Chapstick for ever! Let Dustyn hang out with my Chris for 10 minutes.... you'll quickly see that Chris can find a mess in seconds;) I bet they'd have a blast:)
    • NapTime MomTog says
