On the one hand, I was glad to see Penelope, the pampered baby of the family, actually doing something for herself by herself. She was giving herself a bath! With actual soap! And a scrub brush – for exfoliation I assume. On the other hand, she was doing it in the kitchen sink.
This photo deserves a name. Leave one in the comments and you could win something. I’ll pick a winner on Friday (September 19) and send out the prize.
What is the prize? A $25 iTunes gift card.
Yes, I know, it’s no mommy blog level prize, but there are no corporate types swooning over my blog stats and handing me stuff to give away at the moment, so it’s the best I can do. (Corporate types ready to swoon over my stats and give me stuff to give away may contact me by e-mail anytime. Thank you.)
Stop complaining and start titling! It’s free music, for crying out loud!

I started to smell something funny…went to the kitchen and it got worse…so I cleaned some dishes and realized the smell was me and I had what I need to take bath right here…
“I guess if Mom and Dad are cleaning and keeping the styrofoam cups these days, I need to get cleaned up too!”
“I really wish his ‘Soft Rock’ look didn’t take so long. . .”
“Redneck Day Spa”
Chores.

“Look what I can do!!”

These tribbles are driving me crazy!
Nobody puts Baby in a corner, but what about a sink?
Sink bathing – one more way you too can save up a little bit more to support Compassion.
Lather, Rinse, Repeat!
I’ll wash, you rinse.
A few questions…is that a Chik-fil-a cup I see???
And how did she get up there??
I really like Paul Mitchell’s response!
You wouldn’t happen to be the hair guy would you?!?! If so I can see a marketing deal in the works Shaun.
Palmolive – Softens Hands (and Feet) While You Do the Dishes
Ooooh, endorsement time!
“WAY too pampered chef!”
@Redneck Neighbor
If I were the hair guy would I thinking up headlines to try to win a $25 gift card? I’d just sell another $50 bottle of cactus shampoo or something.
I too liked Paul Mitchell’s comment. I was hearing a Foxworthy voice “Yooouuu might be a redneck…” before I got to his comment. But I was also impressed that Redneck Neighbor knows who Paul Mitchell is…
Practicing my bible lesson.
Washing feet!

Cutest little dish in the kitchen
Redneck Day Spa should totally win.
I am in agreement with Texas in Africa – Redneck Day Spa is perfect.
Yep.
Totally “redneck Day Spa”
or “Tennessee Day Spa”
or “Groves’ Day Spa”
“I’ll do anything to save money for Compassion.”
“Redneck Day Spa” should win though.

That’s pretty darn cute.
How bout:
“Well, I tee tee’d in the swimming pool and nobody knew, so…”
“These Feet Were Made for Soakin’”
Kitchen sink: $169
Liquid soap: $2.79
Dish washing brush: $2.99
Keeping your 3 year old happily entertained for over half an hour: priceless
“now maybe they won’t throw me out with the bathwater. they’ll need it to do the dishes.”
(confession: redneck day spa is the best!)
(notice how many people show up in the comments when you give something away?)
Multitasking required.
“I’ve got that sinking feeling…”
Scrubbing in the sink
If Palmolive makes your hands soft…
Initially I thought:
“Penelope’s Pit Stop”, but that certainly dates me!
Redneck Day Spa is too funny!
And now the Final ingredient to knee scab soup!
“Penelope teaches Mom how to turn mundane chores into a spa experience.”
Note to self: Next time explain the difference between a caption and a title/name.
You say tomato, I say caption
Well, you know Shaun, some of us can’t really read good.
Redneck Day Spa is very funny.
Since you’re looking for corporate sponsorship one caption could be “The Penelope Project” (sponsored by Mozilla)
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Penelope
And since I know you like obscure facts, the word “Penelopize” was used in a sentence: “I was tempted to penelopize, to go back to the beginning and start again in order to postpone the moment of discussion.” http://wordsmith.org/awad/awadmail262.html
So, my official caption is: “I can’t clean my room, I need to penelopize”: Getting in touch with your inner-Penelope.
You have to sing this one:
“Splish, Splash, Penelope’s takin’ a bath,
in the sink where the dishes are stacked…
A Scrub, scrub there’s no room in the tub,
Redneck neighbor’s in there scrubbin’ his back…”
I’m sorry that’s neither a caption or a title…just the sign of a sick mind.
How adorable…But I can’t think of anything more clever than Redneck Day Spa! Except… “Redneck Day Spa: Ages 3 and up”

Nothing like re-using dish water to simplify
The cleansing ritual after touching a furry bug is even more involved than the cleansing from boy cooties.
Dawn detergent gets the grease out but will it work on the toe jam!!!!!
“Econospa” (you know, the type of spa you’d get at an Econolodge. ; )
But hands n feet down, Redneck Day Spa is the uber best!! : )
Boy I’d have some explaining to do!!!!
Because I have Bob the builder on the brain courtesy of my 2 year old….
Reduce, reuse, recyle!

“They just said wash the dishes, they did’nt say how.” Great photo of a kid being a kid. You never know what they will do next or why!
