'The Day of the Toilet'

Good day to all of you. This here is Kristi. I just thought I would let all of you fun people know what is going on with us. We actually made it out of our house and went on an adventure! It was so nice! We took the girls up to the John Muir Woods and hiked around for the day (pictures of our fun time are in the albums). It was the first time we have done something like that is nearly TWO years... man, did it feel good to pretend we were a normal family doing things together! :)

I bet you are all wondering what is going on with the toilet... I'm never gonna tell!! Just kidding. Yesterday was the 'Day of the Toilet'. I know you are hearing all this hype about the Year of the Dog... well I think yesterday OUTSHINED the Year of the Dog when it became the 'Day of the Toilet'. When Rich (key word: RICH!!) finally was able to get the toilet off, he looked in the hole (the trap thing, I think) and he saw two little eyes staring at him. I think it kinda freaked him out, but he won't admit it. ;) Emma had thrown her entire M&M toy down the toilet and flushed. I thought it was just the little guy's hat, but NO, she chucked the whole M&M!! Rich said it was pretty funny to see these big, white [pleading] eyes staring at him from inside the toilet. Anyway, the toilet is back and it flushes like it's shooting for the Gold!! We love having it back... it's amazing how much you can take a spare bathroom for granted. I asked it for forgiveness and bought it some flowers to show my true gratitude.

Well, I think that's about all I have to say for now. Happy day after 'The Day of the Toilet'!!

Stick my hand down the toilet? I don't think so...

Well, it's been a blessed day to say the least! After a previous blessed day of Sharpie on the wall, brand new tube of toothpaste spread all over 2 little girls, one container of ticktacks completely consumed and the red food coloring of the ticktacks covering all the culprit's hands, one brand new gallon of milk covering the kitchen floor, and one highlighter stuck in the printer, I was incredibly glad we had only been home for HALF of the day. Unfortunately, most of the above took place while I was going piddle in the bathroom (with the door OPEN so I could make she the monsters were GOOD! HA HA HA HA). Today, well I guess I should learn NOT to take 10 seconds of my day to put my glasses on before I exit my room. In those 10 seconds, Emma decided her toy needed to leave our house. The quickest method.... the TOILET!!! Yep, she flushed her toy down the toilet. After attempting to see if I could plunge it, I realized it was way to far down there for any hopes of retrieval. So, I called the Dad who knows just about everything . The bad day then turned into a HORRIBLE day when he told the germafobe to stick her hand down as far as she could, without getting it stuck of course, to see if she could grab it out of the trap. If anyone knows me, they know I was just about the puke up my pancakes and sausage and high tail it outta of my house without looking back to see if anyone decided to join me. I know the suspense is killing you, so I will tell you what I did......"Ring, Ring".... "Rich, you have to stick you hand down the toilet and see if you can reach the toy in the trap!!" :) Yes, I am the smart one!! :) So that is all I have to say, I will have to tell you later if my plan actually succeeds. :)

On another note, Baylee just came in and let me know she has a poo-poo. No problem you say, she's in a pull-up!! Well, that's when the Todd girls will surprise anybody. Some how she has poop covering both her legs WHILE wearing her pull-up!! Isn't that fun?? :) BYE FOREVER!!!!!!!!
