I'm Thankful.......

for the little drain at the top of sinks!!!! You ask why?? Well, last night I was busy making dinner. Elijah and Caden were in the basement, and quite frankly I figured Liam was too. Dinner was nearly finished and I was putting things on the table so we could eat. I heard Liam jabbering from upstairs so I told him to come on down for dinner. He came down, I picked him up and he was WET from HEAD to TOE!! Literally. His hair, his front of his shirt, both front and back of his pants were drenched and his feet had water droplets on them. I instantly thought...oh dear...the toilet. There better not be pee in that toilet. I smelled Liam and he smelled fine. So I dashed upstairs to see the damage. This is what I saw..... Water all over the floor and ontop of the step stool was a puddle. The side wall(you can sort of see in this picture) was dripping with water. The back wall (which you can't see) had water running down it and the baseboards were all wet. I opened the cupboard and there was water all pooled in there. The dark spots on the carpet means it's wet:). Then you look up to the counter and this is what I saw.....
Toothbrushes, toothpaste, and the hand towel were all getting baths. The water was still running too when I got up there so it was all going out of the tiny little drain at the top of the sink cause he had plugged the main drain too!! If you look closely near the children's tooth paste you will see a cap floating...yep thats the cap to the other toothpaste and so that toothpaste was filled with water. Our entire counters had water on them. It took me 2 towels to soak up all the water that was laying around. What a mess!! Our dinner was COLD this night!!!

Haha!! I love hearing about messing from other kids:) Jayla's messes lately have been puke/spit up. I don't know what her problem is. The other day she did it twice in a row. Gets all over the carpet and had to change her outfit. Today it was in my shoes:( Don't know why she is still doing this. Makes me really think twice about having another one:) I forgot about the spit ups and all the burp rags...yuck!

Oh my! What a mess but at least it was WATER, not some other liquid. What a boy. :)

Hopefully that doesn't ever happen at our house b/c we don't have that little drain at the top of our sinks! :)
