We are still alive....

Well Troy & Cloey almost were NOT after the episode we had the other day. I was just going about my usual business unpacking and such when I went to go check on the twins just to make sure they were nicely playing in their rooms like all 2 (almost 3) year old kids do. I walked into Macy's room and found them just as they had dumped an entire bottle of bubble bath onto the brand new carpet. I really had to restrain myself from killing them as I tried to think of the best way to clean this up. I decided that this was a job for the Wet/Dry Vac. So I gathered the Wet/Dry Vac an a couple gallon pitchers of water. I first sucked up all the bubble bath that I could and then just kept dumping water onto the carpet and sucking it up. Meanwhile the twins were sitting on Macy's bed crying (so I thought) because they were in so much trouble. The carpet was looking great, not a single drop of bubbles left and I was so relieved. So I stand up, turn around just to find an enormous mountain (taller than Troy and Cloey) of BUBBLES. Apparently they had been coming out of the Wet/Dry Vac as I was cleaning it all up. And the twins had not been crying, they had been LAUGHING. I guess that I was so focused on getting the carpet clean that I never looked behind me at the steadily growing bubbles I was producing, and the sound of the Vacuum muffled my ability to tell the difference between crying and laughing.
Cloey giggled to me "mom, you are funny your making LOTS of bubbles". So after I stopped laughing myself I scooped up all the bubbles with a beach towel and armful at a time and put the in the bathtub. Wiped the area where mountain once stood and you would never know that anything ever happened. That will definatly be the last time bubble bath will ever enter our house.
