Mackay Madness: A Very "Crappy" Day

A Very "Crappy" Day

"Has anyone seen my diaper?"

"Oh, there it is, over there on my pillow by the pee pee and pooh pooh art I left for mom!"

"Proof" that Easton committed the crime....poopie fingers

We don't even need to discuss this! Can you say..."stinky binkie?"

Doesn't he look so sweet and innocent? NOT!

This is when I wish I had a bigger washer and dryer...or disposable sheets!

Naptime was over for Easton and as I approached his room (about five feet away), I knew that something had gone drastically wrong. As I opened the door, my suspicions were right...there he stood bare bummed! The poop was strewn all over the room, the crib, the bedding, in his hair, his eyebrows, in between fingers and toes and even on his binkie!! Now, this has happened at least once with all three of my other children, but this was for sure, without a shadow of a doubt, the nastiest of all experiences. I am pretty good with gross things, but even "I" was dry heaving on this fine afternoon. They seriously need to have some kind of a"hot line" that you can call in these times of DISASTER!!! I would have paid someone to clean up an accident of this caliber. Easton will now be wearing "duct tape" around his diaper so that he can no longer spread his goodness!

Bell Family said...: Holy crap.....literally!! That is disgusting, hilarious, totally cute, and something you should call Utah Disaster Clean-up for. Will your Home-owners insurance cover that type of disaster??; May 28, 2008 at 8:43 PM
Natali Thompson said...: OH MY GOSH! That is all I can say! I never had to do ANYTHING like that with my kids-and I seriously think I just threw up! Kudos to you-you are really are the mom of the year. I hope you threw the binkey away! You will have to join us sometime on our runs-I am REALLY slow though!; May 28, 2008 at 9:15 PM

margo said...: Totally sick -- Lindsie and Troy never did that, but Mallory introduced me too the crappy club. I've cleaned up more crap than I ever imagined possible. The best was when she tried to hide it once under a book and I picked up the book off the floor to find a smashed pile of pooh all over the floor and book. Spot shot carpet cleaner became my best friend:); May 28, 2008 at 9:44 PM
schaars said...: ha ha ha ha oh my gosh! That is nasty and oh so funny!!! So far Sienna has never done that and I am crossing my fingers that she never does because I think I would throw everything away and not even try to wash it!!!; May 29, 2008 at 2:17 PM
jenn said...: This is Luke to a tee. It totally stinks...literally. Why I found myself just yesterday cleaning up a similar disater. Unfortunately for me it's like the 10th time he's done it. Duct tape doesn't sound half bad!

Apparently you are like 10 times better of a mother than me. You pull out the camera, I pull out the screaming.; May 30, 2008 at 3:35 PM
Wendi said...: Oh My! As the famous quote eloquently states "Shit Happens!" I am so glad you found me on the blog. You and Brandon look so healthy and happy. Your kids seem absolutely adorable. Love the kiddie quotes. I am happy to be able to touch base now and again. It's been SOOO long!!; May 31, 2008 at 2:59 PM

From the mouths of "our babes":

*Our doorbell rang. Chance ran to get it. No one was there. He said, "oh darn,it must have been a knocker-ditcher." (Otherwise known as a doorbell ditcher.)

*Chance climbed in the back of the car this afternoon, and said "ewww mom, the back of your car smells gross...it smells like fries and poo all mixed together."

There was a little boy acting very naughty in Chances primary class...he turned and told the boy that he was an "ANGRY ELF." The teacher told me that it made her whole day and she nearly peed her pants laughing. (We were visiting at a different ward, which makes it even funnier because he didn't even know the boy.)

*Chance's kindergarten teacher's name is Mrs. Rasband, he came home and told Brandon that her name is Mrs. Wristband! Close enough

*As we were driving through the farmlands, Addie blurts out from the backseat, "it's cool how HAY grows, it just randomly pops up in perfect little blocks!" (She was DEAD serious)

*We came home from camping and Addie turns to me and says, "Mom, it feels so good to be home and walk on the grass and have a cup of milk!"

*We ate at a "Thai" restaurant tonight. Addie was so sick of peanuts on all of the food. She finally looked at me and said, "what the heck, do they have a peanut tree in that kitchen or what?"

*Chance asked me, "Mom, why Jesus make me so fast?" (Basically asking why he is such a fast runner)

*Chance was looking through the neighbors fence at their dog and he came running back across the street and said " oh sick, that dog just bless you'd all over my face!" Apparently, that means the dog sneezed on him!

*Chance calls "Walkie Talkies"... "Hickey Tickies"

*Hannah told me that we are going to give her "arthritis" because we are making her camp in a tent this year. (We sold our big fifth wheel last year.) Poor kids!

*We went thru the drive-up at Wendy's and they were out of Frosty's. As we pulled away, Chance murmurs to himself: "damn, damn, damn!" (I will take full responsibility for that one!) Needless to say, we had a little chat!

*Chance says that "chocolate milk" is his favorite taste!

*Chance was picking the seat of his pants today, and I said "what's wrong son, do you have a snuggy?" And he said, "no mom, I don't have a snuggly, my bums are just stuck together.

*Tonight at dinner, Addie told us that her favorite solid food is BUTTER and her favorite liquid food is SPRAY BUTTER!

*Chance told me today that his brain was making him scared to go to school. (He just kept holding his head in his hands)

*We had a "chick" die this weekend. Of course the kids made us do a burial. Apparently it freaked Chance out, and he wouldn't sleep in his bed because he just knew there were dead chicks in the sheets, and his feet could feel the feathers!

Easton "Such a Big Miracle, in such a Little Boy"

For those that don't know, our little boy nearly drowned in a bathtub accident when he was just 7 months old. I had run a bath for myself and left Easton (who could barely crawl) in his room on the floor. I ran out to the kitchen to clean up a glass my daughter had broken. When I returned to the bath... Easton had pulled himself into the bathroom and was floating face down in the water. He had his feet pajama's on which helped him slip over the side. He was under for about two - four minutes and it took four minutes of CPR from his daddy before he took his first breath. He was taken by ambulance to "Primary's" where he stayed in the ICU overnight. He had a full recovery. We are so, so lucky! He is ONE YEAR OLD now and we're so happy that our heavenly father decided that we could keep him!!! He brings so much SUNSHINE into our lives. "We love you Eastie". I put this on my blog for my own journal, but also for people to always be aware of your kids around water...they are capable of sooo much more than you may think!
