me: Both kids in bed.
Paul: wow, go you
me:
Kids eating post-dinner pudding.
I do laundry.
Come back.
Kate has used pudding as finger paints.
PUDDING EVERYWHERE.
She has to get cleaned in kitchen sink before being brought to bathroom.
Paul: our little angel?
me:
In bathroom, I’m dealing with pudding clean-up
on me
and her clothes….
…and she removes pants to reveal the evening’s 3rd poop.
Her pull-up removal spreads poop everywhere.
Poop all over legs
Feet
Floor
Carpet
Clothes.
Finally, she’s in the tub.
I wash her.
I am getting her out.
Will, who has been eating pudding this whole time, comes in.
He decided the finger painting was a good idea.
He’s painted his entire face with it.
And hands and arms.
It’s COVERING his UNIFORM.
Paul: I hope you killed him
me:
His WHITE
NEW
BRAND NEW
WHITE
SHIRT.
Paul: he should know better
me:
I rinse tub and refill.
He gets in.
I dress Kate.
I come back in bathroom to find Will with the soap.
Bubbles.
Everywhere.
Soap bottle is upside-down.
He’s squeezing the bottle.
The NOW almost EMPTY bottle
Because he’s emptied half of it
in the tub
with him
.
This is why the kids are in bed early.

you know you can rip the pull-up at the sides, right? then it won’t get on her legs.
can’t help you with the pudding 🙂

That? was hilarious. So what you’re telling me is that it will be at least 3 years before I’m able to look away for even half a second. and also that I should go eat some pudding.

Oh, yikes, I forgot about those days. I have to admit when I hear those stories my empty nest doesn’t sound so bad (lol).
Enjoy, it will go fast!

Oh, man. This makes me tired. Also glad that we don’t have pudding on hand. (As it were.)

Damn, that posted twice. I’m apparently too tired to be trusted with a comment box.
