Explosion

Tonight I was on my own with the boys while John worked late. Wyatt usually gets a bath every night, but Jonah and Samuel only get a bath every other night unless otherwise necessary. Tonight I fed everyone and then decided to give Wyatt a bath which is usually John's job. Wyatt did really well and didn't splash around much, but Samuel screamed, I mean SCREAMED, the entire time that I had Wyatt in the tub. When I would poke my head out of the laundry room and peek at him he would smile at me, but when he couldn't see me he screamed bloody murder. Needless to say that I was more than a little stressed out from all of the noise, so I decided to get Sammy squared away first so that there would be some peace and quiet. I fed Sam his cereal while Wyatt played with a truck by the tv and noticed that Sammy was sweaty from all of his crying so I thought after Wyatt is in bed I will toss him in the tub for a quick bath too. Then I told Wyatt to pick out 3 books for me to read to him before I tucked him in for the night. He picked out his 20 books and climbed up on the couch next to me, and then I noticed the smell....poop! I figured that it would be a quick diaper change...WRONG!!!! As I carried Wyatt to the laundry room, he was scooping poop out from the sleeves of his jammies and rubbing his hands together and saying "uh oh". Yes, it was a true BLOW OUT diaper....the kind you get when you are nursing a baby. He was covered in poop from his thighs to his armpits on both sides. So Wyatt had bath #2 (with Sammy screaming again the entire time), new jammies, no books, and went to bed. Then I gave Sammy a bath while he continued to scream, put his jammies on, and tossed him in bed and he was asleep in less than 5 seconds. So poor Jonah ended up getting his cereal last and I broke down and decided to give him a bath for fairness sake. So 4 baths, 3 dinners, 2 poopy diapers, 1 poopy kid, 0 books, and a huge load of dirty clothes later, I got all of the boys in bed by myself. Then John got home and asked how everything went tonight... I said "you would have croaked!" and he said "Oh, because I am going to be late tomorrow too!"
