Things I never thought I would have to do!

Well, it has been quite a morning, and I wish I had taken pictures before I got everything cleaned up, but it's too late now! Anyway, here's the story....every night when I give the girls their bath, they get to choose what shampoo they want to use. We use the Suave kids, and each bottle is a different scent and has a different animal on it, and I do a silly voice and give a description of the scent...for example, the monkey shampoo smells like coconut. So I say something like, "If you choose monkey, you get the delightful scent of coconut, and you will feel like you are sitting on the beach staring at tranquil waves." Silly stuff, and they love it. Anyway, we are down to three shampoos in their bathroom....we have fishy, tooting monkey (it's almost empty so now instead of just monkey it's "tooting" monkey) and birdie. Last night I washed their hair, got them bathed and out of the tub, dried hair, etc. etc. Well, I forgot one big step. To put the shampoo back up high so that little hands couldn't reach it.

SO ANYWAY......while I was showering this morning, I put the t.v. on in the bedroom for the girls, pulled out some books and pillows, and I left them watching Rugrats and laying on the floor reading. I was in the shower for maybe 5-6 minutes, and I came out, and there was Melanie, lying on the floor reading. No Meredith. That's never a good sign. I asked Melanie, "Where is your sister?" and she says that she is in their bathroom. So I round the corner and see a little 2 year old mess. She took the 3 bottles of shampoo, plus all the baby wash, and poured it in the toilet. I didn't know what to do. She just started screaming, "I WANT TO BE THE GOOD GULL!" and I just laughed and said, "Too late!" and put her in her bedroom so that I could clean up without any other messes. I flushed the toilet to see if I could get some of the shampoo down, and it just started bubbling up! I had to flush it at least 15 times to get all the shampoo out, and then I had to clean up all the bubbles all over the bathroom. You know when kids pull pranks and just dump a ton of soap into huge fountains, and then when you drive by the fountain and the whole street is covered in bubbles? That's what the girls' bathroom looked like this morning. I just had to laugh.
