A Poopy Nightmare

I know it has been awhile since my last blog but today I have another chapter in the Poop diaries to share with everyone. It just seemed like something that needed to be shared (in other words I just needed someone, anyone, to listen to my rant about poop).

So lets start yesterday. Kids are all sleeping upstairs, Virginia and I are in the basement working on Peanut. I her Ethan's voice from upstairs asking me to come upstairs. I figured he was just whining as usual so I ignored him. Five minutes later he says "Mommy I need you". Again I dismissed him loudly and told him to come downstairs. I hear him coming down the stairs, he gets to the top of the basement stairs and says "My legs are dirty". I look up and see a half naked Ethan with poop ALL down his legs. Crap (literally), this sucks. I start with cleaning his legs off, then I look up the stairs and see a small trail of poop (on our recently cleaned carpets). So I follow it with some antibacterial wipes and clean as I go. When I get to the bathroom upstairs it seriously looked like a murder scene, except instead of blood there was poop. Seriously poop everywhere, all over the front of the toilet, all over the bathmat and the bathroom door and floor were soaked with pee. WHAT happened here? I still don't really know, the only possible explanation was that Ethan sat on the toilet with the seat up and slipped. I don't even want to think of the possibility that he did this on purpose!

Ok so poop cleaned up fairly confident that we are in the clear. Virginia and I are off to the mall to buy a new macbook and iPad. We bring Ethan with us. While the salesman is talking with us I look down and see Ethan holding himself. I ask him if he has to pee and he says yes. I ask the salesman desperately if they have a bathroom we can use. Infact my exact words are 'PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE A BATHROOM'. The salesman pauses JUST long enough that Ethan just lets it all out. I think I had made such a scene that everyone in the entire apple store saw the pee running down his legs and felt sorry for poor Ethan. Fantastic so its off to a store to buy some new pants.

We head into Old Navy and buy a 12 dollar pair of jeans. TWELVE DOLLARS!!! (And trust me $12 is an insane amount of money for me to spend on a pair of children's jeans, I prefer the value Village $2.49 special). We are walking back to the Apple store and I look back and Ethan's pants are around his ankles. Come on Old Navy, who makes toddlers pants without an adjustable waist.  Anyways we made it back, got our amazing new stuff and head off.

Moving on to today. We wake up around 9, Wyatt was due for a bath tonight so in hopes of saving time tonight I bring him in the shower with me. After we finish I dry him off and set him loose into the bathroom while I dry off. I turn my head for ONE minute and I hear Ethan saying 'Wyatt pooped on his leg mommy'. Half dressed I run out into the hall and ALMOST step on two big blobs of poop in the middle of the hallway (again on the carpet). I look down and again see another trail of poop, so I follow the trail and find WYATT with poop ALL down his legs and all over his feet. ARRRRGGGG.... So here we go, half naked mommy, poop everywhere and Ethan telling me he just pulled his pants down and peed all over the tv room carpet. I didn't believe him until stepped in a very wet spot. I'm still hoping that Ethan was lying and it was in-fact Wyatt that had peed on the floor because Ethan CERTAINLY knows better than that.

So now the poop is cleaned up, a new scentsy scent is in to try to cover the stench of poop.  We are loading into the car to get a tea. I've been trying to avoid Timmies  to save some money(well kind of, but lets be honest i'm not doing to well and perhaps i'm only saying this to make Kelly feel like i'm making an effort) but today I think a tea is very much needed and justified.

PS just incase you need a visual here is part of this mornings lovely disaster....
