Cayenne in the bum crack

I have two little boys in the bathtub because I dared to take out the trash and compost while they were awake. I was out there for 5 minutes at the most. I came in to two naked boys on the counter throwing spices on the floor. It's an interesting smell -- garlic, cloves, cinnamon, cayenne, chili powder, and a whole bottle of almond extract. :bad:

I made them sit in chairs while I cleaned up the mess and Trent must have sat in some cayenne at some point in making the mess and suddenly lost his mind about 3/4 of the way though the cleaning process screaming about his bum being owie. So now I have a mess in the kitchen and two boys in the bathtub. It's one of those "can't wait for bedtime" sort of afternoons. :angry:

Anyone else want to share their frustration of the day?

 

LOL, love the post title :lol: I am at work, but I bet dh would have a story or two about his day home with them

 

:rotflmbo: talk about having a hot pepper up your butt. :rotflmbo: :rotflmbo: :rofl:

 

LOL, I had something similar happen once. I dared to change Sean and James' poopy butts once without making Emma come with me. She grabbed a jar of cinnamon out of the cupboard and spread it all over the floor then rolled in it. (She smelled great btw) I handed her the broom and asked her to sweep it up while I put the boys down for a nap. She came running in about 3 minutes later screaming that her crotch was owie on fire! Yep, she even got cinnamon in there. :icon_eek: I'm sure you know by now how hard it is to mop up finely ground spices, they float! My house did smell phenomenal for days though.

 

OMG! I couldn't resist your thread title--I just HAD to see what that was all about and you didn't disappoint. :rotflmbo: :rotflmbo:

Sorry you had such a time of it. Those boys sure are sneaky!

 

Maybe a major pain for you (and Trent!) -- but man, did your post make my afternoon. :lol:

Your boys come up with something new everyday! Oh, the stories you will have for them later. DH learned to wash his hands after handling jalepenos, especially before taking a pee!

Yeah, I had one of those days too. Not quite that bad, but at naptime, which they don't nap anymore, I let them take these little clay or something angels that they painted at a Mom's Club playdate to their room with them. When I went to get them out of the room, they drew with the angels all over the wall, and they had crumbled, so there were clay crumbs all over the room.

 

Our big fiasco of the day was my son deciding to give himself a tattoo with a black permanent marker. He did hide it, though, by putting it on his favorite body part!

 

Totally not twin-related, but 2 dozen peanut butter cookies slid right off the cookie tray while I was taking them out of the oven this morning. Some landed in the bottom of the oven, the rest in the drawer below. That was lots of fun to clean up. And the house still smells like burnt peanut butter. :lol:

 

:rotflmbo: I know you must be ready to shoot yourself, but it's just too funny! (To an outsider anyway.)

And the tattoo story!!!! OMG!!! :lol:

 

That's the definition of "natural consequences"!!!! Too funny

 

My girls were running around naked on the deck this evening and my dd pooped on her playset. She came up to us saying "poop poop" and sure enough, there it was sitting on the little platform. We have no idea how she did it up there. LOL it was pretty funny though.

 

:rotflmbo: deb, your boys NEVER fail to disappoint - i hope even you can get at least a tiny little laugh over their antics (after you're done groaning about the mess, that is)

We too had a spice incident not too long ago in our brand new house. What I thought was sand they had snuck in from their sandbox and spread all over the floor actually turned out to be a whole jar each of ground cumin, garlic powder, and cinnamon. The smell of that funky combo will forever be etched into my brain.

That's also when I discovered that our vacuum cleaner has off-road capabilities. :Clap:

what a funny story to those of us who didn't have to clean up the mess!! definitely one for the memory book--and be sure to use the same title you used for your post--maybe someday when he's in high school or beyond you can embarrass him with it and feel vindicated LOL

 

I'm sorry Debi, but I think "cayenne in the bum crack" could really only happen to you. :rotflmbo:

 

I have tears in my eyes...it's true, only Trent & Trevor could pull off a stunt this extraordinary in the space of 5-minutes. Sometimes I wish we lived closer so we could commiserate together in person; then you post something like this and I realize that thanks to the distance my boys aren't learning your boys' tricks!

Thanks for the laugh. Hope T is feeling better.

My boys kept the chaos to a minimum today, our biggest disaster was crayon on the window sill and a wireless, laptop mouse finding its way into the toilet. It's only 3pm here in Seattle, though, an entire afternoon of disaster could still be waiting for me.

:lol: for the penis tattoo artist, too!

 

Too funny! Poor baby!

When my 3yo was younger (maybe 2ish) he was complaining about his butt itching. "Mommy, my butt itches!" He was digging and squirming. I had to bend him over my knee to inspect and found a dog hair poking him in his butt hole. I still laugh about it.

 

:laughing:

 

This post totally made my day...now, even on the hardest days, I can thank my lucky stars that no cayenne touched any mucous membranes around here.

But I know that someday we're going to deal with ink on the wee wee. Jack is obsessed.

 

Ouch! I am laughing with you not at you! Definitely one for the baby books. Tomorrow will be better! :hug99:

 

So sorry, I hate those days but I gotta say..............

Your title had me :rotflmbo: before I even opened it!! Really, I'm not laughing at you, I hate those days. I hope you t hink it's funny too tomorrow.

 

OMG, too funny!

 

Your boys truly amaze me. Of course, they also make me so happy that I only have one boy. Kudos to you! I do hope you survive them though.

[SIZE=12pt]Oh gosh about 2 months ago when I went to take the trash out I came back and wondered why my house smelled like chili. The twins had gotten in the cabinet and my kitchen floor was covered in chili powder. They had a bit where they loved playing in flour...boy was that messy!!![/SIZE]
