When mommy decided the fun time had to end before EJ painted the ceiling there was some sadness, but the fun resumed when we got to sit in the sink and get sprayed off with the sprayer.  That was a new experience that was greatly enjoyed, almost as much as smashing Jello.  But we might as well have sprayed her off with lime green water for all the left over lime green stains on her little, now lime green, body.  

Oy vey!  I have a lime green baby.  I always knew, from the time she started playing the bongos on my kidneys, that she had to be part alien.   Suspicions confirmed.
