 Saturday morning, when I ran upstairs to grab something from the bathroom I discovered a clogged toilet. But even worse, the floor was covered in water. But even worse was when we discovered it was the twins that were playing with the toilet but only after the toilet had been clogged. Ugh! Who wants to start their Saturday morning mopping up poopie water off the floor and realize that the baby you'd just been snuggling and even worse, kissing, had been playing in that poopie water. And I really don't think they washed their hands when they were done. Barf-o-rama!
Saturday it was also rainy. . . the whole. . . entire. . . day. It was rainy last Saturday too. And it will probably be rainy next Saturday too. Because it was rainy Friday night we took the kids to see Madagascar 2. We took all six kids. I figured it was cheaper to do it that way because Jericho and Justus are free until they turn three and hiring a babysitter isn't. Next time we'll get a babysitter. What a nightmare. The show, at least what I saw of it, was cute. And I think the big boys enjoyed it. But Mark and I and the three babies--yeah ummmmm. . . no! Never again. Saturday I was really hoping to wake up and see some sunshine so we could go to the park or go on a bike ride or do something outside of our little box we call Home. No such luck. But after a particularly huge downpour, Denver was begging to go jump in the puddles and the kids were climbing all over me so they donned their swimsuits and raincoats and we went puddle-jumping. Lucky for us it was practically seventy degrees outside so it wasn't completely miserable. It was actually kind of fun. See here and here.
 We did some painting too. Caleb decided to paint his fingernails instead. Black. He looked like a little Goth boy. Caleb also entertained us with an episode of "Cooking with Caleb". He didn't eat his dinner. He played with it. That's what he does most of the time. I wonder how any of them get enough food in them to actually grow. But they must be getting enough cause they sure do grow big and fast too. I took Denver to Blockbuster to rent some movies. We rented Eloise at Christmastime and Unaccompanied Minors. Eloise was super cute. I'm thinking we might have to buy and add it to our holiday collection. We didn't get around to watching the other movie. But the way the weather has been lately, I'm sure we'll watch it in the next day or so.
Today the boys were playing Jenga before church. They were really proud of themselves for getting their tower as high as they did. Noah was his usual silly self and I couldn't help but videotape the last few minutes of their game. It's pretty funny. And besides going to church and a load or two of laundry and dishes, I think that pretty much sums up our weekend.
