Something to Blog About...

It's only almost noon, but I have already had a pretty eventful morning. Usually, I shower and get myself ready before the kids wake up, but that wasn't possible today. Slade had made his way to my bed during the night (which he does often when Skylar is working) and Daisy woke up screaming at 4am. She rarely screams, so I went to check on her and found her freezing, so I brought her to my bed. The kids woke up about 7am and started playing around on the bed while I tried to wake up. Slade went to use the bathroom and while he was gone, Daisy says, "Yucky poo poo!" I turn around to look at her and she throws a nugget of poop on me!! I scream, she starts crying, and then I notice the brown smudges on her pj's as well as her hands!! That made me wake up! I immediately threw her in the shower, as she and Slade prefer over baths, cleaned her up and then went to assess the mess on my bed. I wonder how long she had been playing in her diaper... At one point I remember that she had played with my hair while I pretended I was still asleep. The thought of poop in my hair made me gag, so I jumped in the shower and washed my hair twice, just to be sure! We then had a nice breakfast of cheesy eggs and toast...

Not much later, I was in my bathroom putting my makeup on when Slade walks in and we had this conversation:
Slade, "What are you doing, mom?"
Me, "Putting my makeup on."
Slade,"Why?"
Me, "So I can be pretty."
Slade, "You's not pretty like that."
Me, "Oh! You don't like my makeup?"
Slade, "No. You's going to take it off?"
Me, "No. Why? What do you want me to look like?"
Slade, "Just like mom."
Haha!! I know I look different without makeup, but good grief, that puts it in perspective!!

AND THEN, after our little conversation, he left and I could hear him playing in his room. When I was finishing up, I noticed that I couldn't hear anything! We all know that no noise means the kids are into something, so I went to go find out. Now, the kids have plenty of toys to play with, (note picture below) and that is just one side, and there are more on the floor behind me! So, I knew they had been in Slade's room playing but they weren't there now...so I went looking in Daisy's room.

Ha Ha! I found them. I had just opened a new package of wipees this morning (the poop story) and the kids decided that they needed a wipee bath. There are more wipees on the other side of Daisy and by the door, too! A quick thought ran through my mind... Why do I buy the kids toys when they would rather play with wipees and poop? We may have to return their Christmas presents this year.
