In the last post I said Claire's messes could always be worse? Well, if you are not a mother or have a sensitive gag reflex, quit reading now. If you have a sensitive gag reflex and are a mother, congratulations, you must be pregnant! HA!
OK, so Claire yells from across the living room to me and says, "Mom, I'm poopy." We're still working on the potty training thing and I know she has a pull-up on, so no biggie. I tell her to go to the bathroom and I will change her. I make it to the bathroom first and she waddles up behind me...with poop running down her leg. Oh crap (literally). I clean her up enough to get her upstairs to the bathtub. Ellie follows us up the stairs. I love that she's walking so well. I put Claire in the tub and turn to check on Ellie...who has a trail of poop behind her. Not from her diaper...from her feet! And her hands are covered in it too! She has some around her mouth, but her breath is minty-fresh (more on that later). AH! I'm freaking out and yelling at both of them (mainly Claire). After bathing and dressing both girls, and cleaning out the bathtub, I go downstairs to a lovely smell coming from the living room. Yes...poop EVERYWHERE! OK, so I may be exaggerating slightly, but there were several large piles on the floor. I throw all the toys into a laundry basket and start wiping up as much as I can. Yes, I made sure the toys were poop-free also.
My carpets are nice now that I've cleaned it. For awhile I didn't think they would ever look the same. More good news: the living room doesn't look like we were vandalized anymore.
Sorry - no pictures. Or should I say, "You're welcome!"

Haha...those girls make me laugh. I'm planning on heading your way mid-septemberish and am excited about seeing you guys. I get to come over for dinner and play with the girls every now and then, right?!? :)
I love reading your posts. It reminds me of the good ole' days. Joseph and Harry smashed brownies into the carpet...same color, different smell. Give the girls a big hug for me. Love you all!!!
Sorry...it's Deedra. I can't figure out how to do this.
I totally forgot (or blocked this out of my mind). One of my children (who will remain nameless), pooped in her diaper while in her crib and proceeded to take off her diaper and rub it (the poop) all over her crib. I could smell it before I even opened the door. EEEWWWW!
