    OH NO!!!!!!!!!!! We have that stuff too. LOL. The kids love it…TFS this adorable pic. Sorry it took so long to wash off.

    It DOES look like so much fun, but I am glad I resisted at the store the other day. Fun for slightly OLDER kids, maybe ;^)*

    I would have to threaten to CUT hair off, and then they might listen about NOT putting it in their hair. I hate threats

    OMG that is too funny!! At least it came out…and you did not have to cut off all his hair…

    I’m so glad it came out Julia! We STILL have Floam in our carpet! Impossible to get out without cutting it! Luckily your outcome had a much better ending!!! LOL!!! TFS!

    Julia, this pic is way too cute! I really hope you’re scrapbookig it. One day, maybe tomorrow, all three of those baths will be precious moments to you. They grow up way way too fast!!

    I read your blog everyday… thanks for the inspiration…. or was it enabling??! Hee hee.

    He looks so proud of himself, oh my I can’t imagine the “fun” you had trying to get that out. My daughter at the age of 3 decided that cutting off her braid would be a fun thing to do.

  15. Mandymcon 31 Jan 2008 at 1:42 pm

    Julia - he is so cute you could forgive him anything!

  16. Allisonon 31 Jan 2008 at 2:53 pm

    Hee hee…so sounds like what goes down in my house!

  17. Julie Campbellon 31 Jan 2008 at 3:16 pm

    LOL! I have 2 boys… so believe me - I can relate! :) That’s hilarious! Your son’s just too cute!

  18. Julie Brookson 31 Jan 2008 at 3:24 pm

    Oh no! We have that stuff and I have 3 boys!!! One of them is sure to try that. I better run and hide that stuff!!!! :)

  19. Mandyon 31 Jan 2008 at 3:27 pm

    Floam is my arch nemisis!!! (sp??) I feel your pain!

  20. Kristine Reynoldson 31 Jan 2008 at 3:34 pm

    I guess mine are too old for floam…I think we missed that wonderful invention! What a cutie!

  21. Lettyon 31 Jan 2008 at 4:52 pm

    hahahaha. I died laughing. so cute!! I remember that stuff getting stuck to my carpet. :) feel your pain!

  22. Bevon 31 Jan 2008 at 5:20 pm

    I am so out of the loop since my girls are grown and no grandchildren yet! I do remember similiar incidents though!! Cute little boy! tfs this cute story.

  23. Gail S.on 31 Jan 2008 at 7:11 pm

    How cute, but I can relate! My DD wouldn’t let her kids have floam so of coarse they asked me & being the great grandma that I am I let them have it. What a mess! It was so sticky & gummy that I was afraid we’d clog the drain trying to get it off their hands so since it was summer I took them outside to wash it off and then I had colorful grass! At least I didn’t have to deal with DH being upset b/c we clogged the drain! lol That stuff is good for 2 things either the trash or leave it in the store!!

  24. rainyon 31 Jan 2008 at 7:25 pm

    Oh Julia!! LOL How adorable. I remember when my boys were doing those sorts of things. Good for you for taking pictures of it. In time you will absolutely cherish them. Today… well you were busy!

  25. Lisa Silver (silvergirl)on 31 Jan 2008 at 9:26 pm

    What a doll baby!!! It looks like he had a TON of fun!

    We had an “incident” with purple floam. Yep… that’s right… we’ll remember the “incident” (as my daughter termed the day) forever, as the fun floam is permanently embedded in my son’s tan carpet.

    Pretty.

    LOL! Thanks for sharing,
    lise

    This is just a little too close to home to be funny. That stuff looked like fun, but it also looked like trouble. Now I’m feeling a bit guilty about having given some of it as a gift… Oh well, they’re still friends with us…so far!

    BTW, I was tagged and now I’m tagging you. Check out the details on my blog at http://www.thedaleystamper.blogspot.com

    From one who is now many years away from “been there, done that”, thanks for giving me a laugh as I remember similar episodes.

  28. Julieon 31 Jan 2008 at 10:47 pm

    Thank you for providing me another reason NOT to buy that stuff!!! Oh my!!! :) Julie

  29. joslynon 01 Feb 2008 at 12:06 am

    love it. lol. ya know, it’s just to much fun to not put it in your hair!

  30. trudeeon 01 Feb 2008 at 12:45 am

    BWAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  31. Bethon 01 Feb 2008 at 3:12 am

    Oh, my! It does not come out of hair OR fabrics very easily at all! Fortunately, my oldest daughter thinks is stinks and my youngest hasn’t discovered it yet- she is in to Moon Sand! He sure is cute, though!

  32. Rose Annon 01 Feb 2008 at 3:24 am

    So cute, Julia!! Sorry about the trouble with the removal.

  33. Kennaon 01 Feb 2008 at 9:05 am

    I hate that stuff!! My Mom bought it for mt girls because they had to have it and we too could not believe how sticky it is. There is something similar called playfoam that is great though. It has the little beads in it like floam, but is not as sticky and does not have the slime type stuff in it. We use it instead of play-doh. It is super easy to clean up too.
