It works!

You know that trick of putting your paint brushes in the freezer when you're done painting if you don't have time to wash it out right away, or if you are going to pick up again with the same color at a later date?

Well I have a story: On Christmas Eve we were DESPERATE to have the nurserypainted before our company came so that everyone would have a place to sleep. So, we painted allll day finishing just in time for me to hop in the shower before Midnight Mass (we're talking Midnight Mass AT Midnight). That of course left no time for paint brush washing and so I wrapped the brushes in plastic wrap and stuck them in the freezer.

I am a little embarrassed to admit that it was not till TODAY that I pulled said brushes OUT of the freezer to find out how they had fared. But I was excited to find that they thawed and washed up perfectly. Except the one that was dried out when I put it in there. I guess that was wishful thinking.

Now I wish I had taken pictures for you.

FACT

Did you know that Pedialyte costs over $5 for a TINY bottle? Did you further know that it is only good for two days once you open it?

Weeks of upset baby stomach and several bottles of Pedialyte (mostly down the drain) later, I find out from the doctor (note the reliable source) that Gatorade at half strength works just as well, AND its WAY yummier (I said that part, not the Dr.), and about a million times cheaper.

Dumb Pedialyte.
