So Chris got a kind of last minute invite to go the Magic Finals game tonight. He came home after basketball camp for close to 2 hours, so he told the kids he would take them down to the pool for a short time. They were in a hurry, getting on swimsuits, grabbing towels, pool toys, etc. I stayed home to start dinner. When they got back home, everyone came in and went off in different directions to change clothes. Chris walks back into the kitchen at the same time that I look over to see Luke standing there in a wet puddle, trying to pull his swim shorts off. And then I hear Chris say "Oh Luke, did you go poo-poo?" And then I hear "Oh no. I forgot to put a swim diaper on." And then I think "Oh joy. This is going to be FUN!".
Sure enough, Luke had done a little "number 2" in his swim shorts, and he was standing in a puddle of some type of liquid. We weren't sure if it was just lots of water from his shorts (very small chance it was this) or if he had done a little pee there (very good chance that this was the case), so we treated it as he had used the floor as his personal toilet and started trying to clean it up. Oh yeah, need to make a note that Cole walked in from outside shortly after this and slipped on the puddle, landing on his bottom on the floor. Being the very caring and sensitive mom that I am (at least in this crazy moment), I laugh (and then I say "I'm so sorry for laughing - you just looked so funny. Are you o.k.?")
Did I mention I had a chicken quesadilla cooking on the stovetop? Thankfully it was the last one to be cooked and was an extra, because it got burnt in all the chaos. We quickly scrambled to clean Luke up, the floor, the bathtub and bathroom floor (from the mess of trying to clean Luke). The whole time Luke is standing in the bathtub going "yuh-ee, yuh-ee" (yucky) and pointing to the mess all around him. The kids are saying "Ooh, gross!" Chris is saying "I'm so sorry. I can't believe I forgot that." And I'm just laughing.
We got it all cleaned up and sat down to eat a quick dinner. Chris gave hugs and kisses and ran out the door to get to the game. Had to add this picture that he sent to me via text of the TV guys there at Amway Arena.
