The Messiest Dirtiest Kiddo Photo Contest with a Totally Kickass Prize!!!

Okay, so I’m totally bummed. There’s this awesome photo contest but I don’t have a good picture for it. AGGGHHH, I have like 9 million pictures of my rugrats but none of them work for this!!! It’s being put on by Sterling, that cool brand by Kohler, do you know it? You’re supposed to enter the MESSIEST DIRTIEST picture of your kiddo and you can win this kickass prize (I’ll tell you about the prize after my borrring story), but my kid is like totally OCD and never gets messy.

Like I was SOOOOOO excited to get that awesome messy picture on her first birthday when she tried cake for the first time (I was clearly suffering from FTMS– First Time Mom Syndrome) but do you know what that little douchebunny did? She wouldn’t eat the cake!! Aggghhhh!!!

Side note, I TOTALLY want to squeeze those cheeks and make her that age again SOOOOOO bad.

So basically I abused her that day by force-smearing frosting on her lips because I thought if she just tasted it she would see how AWESOMMME it is, but that just pissed her off more and basically it made her hate us. See?

Anyways, now that Zoey’s older I’m like screw that, it’s time to get the messy picture I always wanted. Yes, four years later. So I did something stupid. Really stoopid. The other day I went to Costco and I bought a giant chocolate sheet cake and then I told my husband the plan.

ME: First we’ll sing her happy birthday.

HIM: But it’s not her birthday.

ME: Fine, happy half birthday. And then you’ll smash the cake in her face while I take a picture.

HIM: Umm, don’t you think she’ll get upset?

ME: Okay, fine, whatever, I’ll stand next to her and you can smash it in both our faces. It’ll be super funny and we’ll laugh really hard, record a video of it and then we’ll lick ourselves clean.

Let’s just say the way I imagined it is NOT how it went. At. All. FYI, if you’re trying to record a funny video of smashing a cake in your kiddo’s face, it’s a good idea to make sure the cake isn’t hard. Like really hard. Like so hard it didn’t get any chocolate on our faces and I’m lucky it didn’t break both our noses. Whoopsies!!

I have the whole thing on video and I was tempted to show it here but DSS would totally take my children away from me if they saw it. And not just for a few hours so I could go to Tarjay and get some shit done.

Afterwards she was crying and saying her nose hurt while I apologized profusely and even let her smear cake all over my face to get me back.

But luckily we let her eat as much cake as she wanted and in the end she actually said it was all worth it. But damn it, I never got my picture.

Anyways, enough about my boring sob story. I promised I’d tell you about this amazing awesome photo contest. So here’s the dealio. Sterling by Kohler is sponsoring a photo contest with me. YES!!!!
