Making animal food

Who knew animals like eating ground-up chalk dissolved in water?

Lunch with Melissa

Everything went fine until I asked if her fries were good and reached out to try one. She looked at me, then started eating them three at a time, stuffing them in her mouth as fast as she could. I had to tell her, Don't worry, I won't eat any more!

Mopping up the floor this morning

Because Corinna decided to make herself a bowl of sugar soup. The entire kitchen was covered with sticky footprints.

Tommy goes commando

At McDonald's this morning, Tommy decided he needed to use the potty.  This was after he soaked his diaper, so I didn't put the wet diaper back on him afterwards.  I didn't have a spare either, so he went home commando.

Then I forgot about it.

When Rachel woke up, she asked me how the kids were at McDonald's, and that reminded me that I had some unfinished business to take care of.

I checked Tommy, who was watching cartoons on the couch.  His pants were wet.  Too bad, but no big deal.  I pulled them off of him as he sat there.

A huge load of poo came out of the pants and onto the couch.

I sent out a code red.  "Matthew!  Wipes!"  I cleaned up Tommy and the couch, but this was more than baby wipes could handle.  Matthew couldn't find the clorox, so I diapered Tommy and got that myself.  Rachel must have wondered why doors were opening and closing all over as I searched for it.
