You remember that pool scene from Caddyshack...

You know the one with the Baby Ruth that helped to clear the pool? Yeah well, G&A had a re-enactment of it last night in the tub, but it was no Baby Ruth.

We were having a good time splashing and playing with foam letters, when Abs starts crawling for the back of the tub behind G, and G starts crawling the other way. I see her reaching for what I first thought was a toy, when I realized that we didn't have any brown toys in the tub at the beginning of bath time.

I screamed out don't touch, and grabbed Abs, soapy head and all and pulled her out. She proceeded to start crying hysterically, which got G started crying as well. C grabs G and we look at each other and try to figure out what to do with two screaming, wet kiddos. I take the head rinse cup, and scoop the "Baby Ruth" up and deposit it into the toilet. Still can't get all the floaties out, and it would take way too long to get the tub scrubbed. They're too big for the bathroom sink. There are dishes in the kitchen sink. Its too cold (28 or so with a wind chill in the teens) to go hit the hose outside.

Kitchen sink it is. Quick wash of the sink, move all dishes to the counter out of the reach of little hands, and minutes later, we have 2 smiling clean children. Got them down, and C thankfully got the short straw and bleached the toys and tub.

Just another night at the Jank house.
