Eau de TOILET...

So last night I was getting ready for BIG fun in our house. I told all of the kiddos they could camp out in our room with us.(Do not try this at home) While I was setting up the blankets and stuffed animals in the kids "districts", I see Jeff walk by with THE PLUNGER.

In our house, Jeff is PLUNGER MAN. I do not want to touch that thing, see the thing, think about where it is going or where it has been. I keep my distance.

So whenever I see him pass by with "IT" , I run and hide.

Apperently there was a "situation" in the kids bathroom upstairs. As there often is around bed time when you have 6 little people emptying their tanks for the night, 3 of which have a not-so- secret obsession with toilet paper and whom have short attention spans when it comes to remembering to flush. Apparently, it was pretty bad. Almost an overflow situation.

So I was hiding under the covers, I mean waiting patiently for the kiddos to run on in so we can play a game and little Hannah finds me under the covers. She comes under to hide with me. Then we come out and do a few rounds of the tickle bug and laugh a lot and exchange tons of hugs and kisses.

As I am laying there, I feel like I am going to throw up as the stench from the "situation" in the bathroom is overwhelming. I cannot get it out of my nose. But I have a very exagerated sense of smell so this does not surprise me. I am thinking about using it somehow to make money to send my children to college. Any ideas? E-mail me. (I do not want to smell armpits)

Katie finishes brushing her teeth and she comes in to join Hannah and me. After laying there for about 30 seconds, she leans over to give Hannah a hug and proclaims...

"Hannah smells like the toilet!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I lean over to take a quick wiff and sure enough, I almost pass out from the stench. She indeed does smell like TOILET.

Katie and I start laughing hysterically and Allie and Grace come running in to find out what the fun is all about.

When I told them that Katie and mommy thought Hannah smelled like toilet, Alli says...

"Oh yeah. That's cause she stuck her hand in the toilet. And smelled it. And wiped it on her arms. And on her cheek. And wiped it on her shirt. That is why she smells like toilet. Kinda yucky if you ask me."

Needless to say she was wisked away to be cleaned off... so was I .
