A beautiful day in the neighborhood
By Moriah on February 21st, 2009
My dad is here! He has a meeting in Atlanta next week so he flew in early to be with us this weekend. My sisters and I talked him into a riveting game of Taboo last night and obviously he’s been playing with the grandkids a lot.
My girls took a bath this morning and almost immediately I heard Madeline yell “MOM! SHE POOPED IN THE TUB!”
WOE. IS. ME.
It ended up being a CEREAL bar. Who takes a bath with a cereal bar?!
But since it wasn’t poop, I was happy as a clam. Except they had also clogged the tub with huge wads of shredded toilet paper. I spent an unbelievable amount of time straining out dripping strings of tissue paper and soggy bits of wheat product.
I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried.
Andy and my dad just took Drew and Madeline to the waterfall and later (meaning naptime), my sisters and I are going to “Marley and Me” at the cheap theater. We also have a dinner invitation from my brother and sister-in-law.
It’s shaping up to being a beautiful Saturday after all.

LOL about the bath!
Your children have a natural affinity for stuffing things. Perhaps they should open a manicotti restaurant together one day?
They’ll be great at stuffing the grandkids’ stockings someday!!
So glad you’re getting to spend time with your dad!
And that tub story? Well, I’m just happy it ended the way it did.
Cereal bar? Oh goodness, that’s too funny.
So glad for you it wasn’t poop this time. I think you’ve handled your fair share of poop in the tub. LOL
Oh lordie. The things kids think should go in the tub. I’m always amazed, too…’cept I play drill sergent at tubside. ;-)
Hmmm, cereal bar? Too funny.
I miss having a cheap theater nearby! So sad.
“Who takes a bath with a cereal bar?!” – you (and your kiddos) never fail to crack me up.
How was Marley and Me? Was it the tear-jerker that I keep hearing that it is?
