Up to my elbows!

The last 24 hours I have been up to my elbows in POO, literally! Happy Valentines Day huh? Yuck!

-Yesterday Austen pooed in the tub.
-Dirk has blown out of his diaper 3 times, getting on every article of clothing each time.
-Our toilet got clogged, very clogged, I'm talking about overflowing into two other rooms clogged. Ben did everything he could think of and then I (not wanting to call a plumber yet) stuck my arm in it. Now before you get to grossed out, in the past I have had success with this method, right Tim and Amber? But all my attempts where in vain. We finally had to completely remove the toilet from its foundation and then found the clog. The culprit is shown below.

Oh Tana! If it's any consolation, we went through the same experience with the "Culprit's" dad many years ago. I remember taking the toilet out on the front lawn and finally removing the clog with a crowbar! This too, shall pass! David

I don't know if this post makes me excited for the adventures with future baby boy excell or very nervous of what we'll be sticking our arms down the toilet for.

Funny story!

Oh Tana. What a day. And I was feeling sorry for myself not wanting our new puppy. You are a stud! :) Hope your week gets better.
