It was last Wednesday. We had a busy week full of doctor and dentist appointments, parent/teacher conferences, music lessons, etc.
On Wednesday I had to take Madi in to get an expander put in the roof of her mouth. It's the first of many orthodontist visits over the next several years. Poor Madi and Saige inherited Brett's small mouth + my giant crooked beaver teeth. Anyway, I had to take the babies with us and wake them from their naps to pick her up from school, feed them lunch in the waiting room, etc. I'm trying to paint the picture that it was stressful.
We got home from the appointment and picked Saige up at the bus stop. I went to get the babies out of their car seats and they had both peed clear through into the car seat. Yep. In all the craziness I had forgotten to change their diapers. They were both acting really tired so I took their pants off, put dry diapers on, and tucked them in for a nap. They were really quiet for about 1/2 hour. I was so excited thinking that they were going to have a second nap. Heaven knows they needed it (and so did I). I went in to check on them because someone was talking. I didn't want that baby to wake the other one so I went in to find a binkie. I took one look at Sydney and she had her diaper half-way off and there was poop in it. I quickly took her to the changing table and changed her diaper. She fights me now so it took awhile. Then I had to find her some new pants. Crisis averted.
WRONG!
Syd had been copying someone else. Dalton had his diaper completely off. He had pooped. He had peed. It was ALL OVER him. All over his shirt, arms, legs, face. It was all over his crib-on EVERY slat, all over the sheets. I didn't even know where to start. I went straight to the tub to start the water for a bath. While I was doing that I sent Saige into their room to get something. She was only in there a second and I heard her scream, "MOM! There is poo all over the floor"!
He had picked up some of the poop and thrown it all over the room. The carpet is brown so the only way to find it was to feel around. I took me an hour to clean their room. By the time Brett got home that night (at 8:30) you can imagine the kind of mood I was in!
I am not above using duct tape to keep their diapers on in the future if it comes to that!

Oh no Nat....what a day for mom. I bet you were ready to kill when Brett got home. What a mess!! I think you should get a supply of duct tape. Now remember when we kept saying to you and Brett - "do you know what good girls you have - they are so obedient,etc. etc." Well, I guess these two came to your family to let you know that life just can't be that calm all the time. Dalton and Syd are quite the pair. Can hardly wait to see the little squirts.
OH MY GOSH. I would DIE!!!! What a disaster. Seriously.... so funny but so maddening at the same time. Such a boy- Sorry Nat!!! You deserve a day off.
NAT! Are you kidding me??? I could have told you that boys are gross, but I've never had anything half that bad happen. I AM SOOOOOO SORRY! Naughty, naughty boys. Seriously so disgusting, but then I look at that picture of him and he is so stinking cute:)

Oh no! You're right... that is SO GROSS!!! But, in Dalton's defense, one of my friend's little GIRL did that once- she fingerpainted the wall, her crib, her blankets, and herself. Nasty! It's a good thing they are so cute when they are asleep! It always help me regain a little sanity when I peek in on them at night ;)
