OK That is Just Gross

Today started off to be a very interesting day. Ashley asked me to take her to get some clothes for the Youth Conference, well by the time we figured out that we only had a day to get this done we were in a hurry. Well, if you have ever gone shopping with two toddlers and a teenage girl you know what a challenge that this can be. So I had a perfect solution. I would pull up to the Christopher&Banks (our favorite store for clothes) the kids and I would sit in the van and Ashley could go in buy herself and try on clothes in peace. All was going well with that plan until it happened. PAIGE HAD A MAJOR MAJOR DIRTY DIAPER. That would have been OK, except we had run out of the house so fast that I had not brought the diaper bag. OK mom think what are we going to do? I went searching through the van looking for anything resembling a baby wipes. Thank goodness I found an extra pull up under the seat of the van. But no baby wipes . How can any mother in her right mind not have a box of baby wipes? Well then it hit me. What are baby wipes, water and wipes. So with a stiff upper lip I graped the only thing that I had (the Febree's spray and napkins from Wendy's). I sprayed and wiped her bottom as best as I could and I wiped as quickly as I could. It was not the ideal baby wipes but it got the job done. We now can call her Febree's baby. OK a mom's got to do what a mom has to do. Needless to say the very first thing we did when we got home was gave Paige a bath. Now that is just gross.
