Messy Face? Clean It Up!

Who can relate to the following scenario??


Spaghetti is prepared for dinner; spaghetti is served to members of the household (including small children); spaghetti mostly makes it into the mouths of most members of the household, however, for the few whose faces  and hands are smeared with orangey-red residue, a seemingly insurmountable feat is about to take place, one only to be attempted by an experienced veteran...

OK, ok! That was a bit dramatic, but you get the idea.  At the end of every meal there are faces that need cleaning, and over my years of experience (ha!)  I have come to learn a few things:

1) solely using a wipe as your method of cleansing leaves those sweet cheeks red and dry...ouch! 
2) using a wet paper towel minimizes irritation, but can be wasteful and expensive
3) finding a clean washcloth can be challenging and...

AH HA! That's it! How can I make it easy to find a clean washcloth every time my kids' faces need cleaning while also avoiding getting a new one every single time?? Well folks, I have come up with a solution to this problem...


  
hooks that suction to the tile next to our kitchen sink...simple, yet brilliant!  A washcloth for Selah, and a washcloth for Owen, perfect.  I can't tell you how much this has alleviated those post-mealtime demands...why didn't I come up with this sooner?!
