Laugh or cry moment...

It was getting to be nap time and all so I was feeding Erik and Ivan was entertaining himself at the kitchen sink for the moment. I was changing Erik on my lap-head at my knees when suddenly yellow mustard squirted everywhere. It looked like the bottle had exploded on my shirt and skirt. At that very moment I heard a scream of pain from the kitchen. Ivan had turned the water to hot and burned himself. I scooped up the mustard mess with the baby somewhere in the middle of it and headed for the kitchen. Just as I got there the messy diaper somehow evaded my arms and went skidding across the kitchen floor, spraying mustard as it went. I got the burn victim settled down and taken care of and proceeded to strip both the baby and myself. I wrapped him in a blanket and set him on my bed while I got reorganized. In the mean time he spit up and wet the bed. I got him bathed and both of us in new clothes only to find Ivan with a brand new jar of lotion open in the living room. Luckily I intercepted that one in time. Thankfully they are now both clean and napping, the kitchen mess is taken care of and the washer is running. For a few minutes there I had way too many children-and that's only 2 of them!
