"Dooooody!!"

It has been awhile since I have posted because I've been SO BUSY! The second we got home from Antigua, 3 weeks ago, the twins got sick and are still sick! Brent's been out of town a lot, so, I haven't had any time to post. Not much has been going on around here, just taking care of the babies, but here's a little story...

The other day, the twins needed a big time bath since they had bug spray on them, so I got the tub ready. (Brent was out of town, so I was on my own) Like a normal mom, you would undress your child and gently place them in the water, right? Wrong. I undressed Luke and he TOOK OFF! He thought it was the funniest thing ever! So, I turned to Ashley. Yea, I know, refocusing on Ashley and not looking at "the naked" Luke is genius right? I really thought, if I got her into the tub, Luke would see all the fun she was having and want to get in. Not so much. When I got her undressed, she took off! In the meantime, Luke has discovered that he can pee all over the floor only it would freak him out when the pee would touch his foot, so he would move to another spot and try again. Laughing the whole time. I'm thinking to myself, do I grab the camera? Do I start crying? I grabbed the camera. (Only after much thought, I decided, I really can't post the pictures, so sorry, maybe in 15 years when I need to....) Luke would kill me one day. But, oh I have pictures for blackmail. This baby boy better not mess with ME! After chasing them around the house in a full sweat, I get Luke in the tub. Ashley soon follows. After much play, and not much cleaning, it happened...."Doody!!" Only this was NOT a Baby Ruth! (For all you Caddy Shack lovers out there) AAAHHHHH!!! I'm talking out loud to myself at this point, " Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!!" "Grooooosssssssss!!!!"" Ick!!! "get them out, get them out, get them out!!!!" I grab Luke, put him on the floor and go for Ashley, meantime, I hear Luke cracking up as he pees on the floor and Ashley's screaming because she doesn't want out. I'm so grossed out, I'm pretty much gagging! Should I start crying now? I know that y'all are thinking that I'm making this up, but I'M NOT! This really happened! Somehow, I need to get a diaper on Luke QUICK! Seriously, how much urine does a baby bladder hold?! And PLEEEEEASE! Ashley! Stop screaming! You'll have another bath soon!! WITHOUT E. COLI!

After I got them both dressed and cleaned the bathtub, I sat down. This is when I started to laugh. I am SO thankful for my babies. I love laughing at them. I can't imagine not thinking something like this is funny. I love my life. And more than anything, I love being their mom.

Although, I can't post the pictures of my naked baby boy, I'll post some recent ones.

Oh, how I do love a poop and pee story! :) Kaylond used to poop in the tub a lot, so we started sitting her on the potty before every bath. This was around 9 months old. It helped. But, just like you, it made me gag. I'd have to call Chad in the bathroom to clean it up. I hate it Brent wasn't home and you actually had to clean the poop. Ewwww! haha! Love the story!

Oh my gosh! How do these things happen when Brent is gone? Those precious kids just keep you hopping! Can hardly wait to see them again. Is there new trick climbing in the chairs and looking out the window? Tell them Granna and Popeye will see them soon.
Love to all.....
