Poop Happens :)

What a night! I was giving the girls their nightly bath and ran out to the living room for a sec to get the book we are reading (Little House on the Prairie). I started reading the girls their, "big book" during bathtime awhile ago because they play quietly together and listen (most of the time). Emma, now, always requests I read to her during bathtime. Anyway, I was in the living room and heard screaming. And I mean SCREAMING. Both girls were hysterical. I ran in expecting blood and guts. Nope, luckily it was just poop, and a lot of it. It seems little Ali decided bathtime was the perfect time for unloading her little bowels :) So, there I was trying to pull out two sopping wet kids, and the fish, Emma INSISTED I save the fish (a new toy from grandpa). The dog was barking like crazy at all the commotion and the phone was ringing. I didn't answer it, so, if it was you, I'm sorry. As I was trying to calm down the little ones and get everything and everyone cleaned up I decided it was a perfect time for the "Poop Happens" lecture. A tweak on my dad's good ol' "when life gives you lemons make lemonade" lecture. I was calmly trying to explain that we can't always control what happens but it is important to try to make the best of every situation and see the humor in it. Yeah, they were having none of it, but it made me feel better :) So, thanks dad, for ingraining an invaluable lesson into me that helped me keep my sanity in a stinky (haha)situation.
