Anne, Eliza, and Madelyn = Trouble

Tonight we went to my parent's house to finish setting up a swing set that they had purchased for the grand kids and to have a barbecue. Just as we were finishing getting the food ready, my mom happened to walk in to the laundry room to find a horrific disaster, all she could say was, "Oh no, oh no, oh no." There the three little trouble makers, Anne, Eliza, and Madelyn were standing in the middle of a huge mess. They had dumped four huge Costco sized bottles of bubbles, 409, Spray 'N Wash, and Tide all over the floor and were just swimming in soapy bubbles. Well to say the least, they were in big trouble. We stripped them down, rinsed them, put them in pajamas, and sent them to time out. An hour later, 10 towels, several garbage bags full, and lots of "I'm so sorries!" later, we about got the mess cleaned up. If it was any old laundry room it would be no big deal, but my mom's laundry room is her stash room, so the floors were covered in stuff that should not be covered in bubbles. These three little girls were born just weeks within each other and have a lot of fun together, but are also trouble. You little stinkers, it's a good thing that we love you so much!

Seriously...can you even believe that happened? I was kinda relieved that Eliza decided to "swim" in it so I had an excuse to hide upstairs at the bathtub while everyone took it all in! :) I imagine this is only the start of their shenanigans! :)
