Attractive Nuisance

Note to self – full bathtub with two beloved children + overexcited puppy who loves water = ONE GIANT WET MESS.

Maia was checking out the girls in their bath a few nights back…VERY interested in the water. She won’t go in the pool willingly but enjoys dunking her feet in her water bowl. I thought she’d put her feet in and that was where it would end.

I walked around the corner to grab towels from the linen closet and came back to find this:

I swear there was more water on the floor than the bathtub can possibly hold.

On the positive side – the girls thought it was the best thing ever. So now whenever there is resistance around bathtime – I can just offer up a bath with their puppy. Plus, the floor was so absolutely soaked that it was like I had mopped…a lot.

I think next time the girls want a bath with the puppy – I’ll throw a load of laundry in the tub and maybe some dirty dishes. Then I can say I bathed the kids, the dog, mopped the floor, did the dishes, AND did a load of laundry. Maia’s antics in the tub are just as good as the agitator in my washing machine right?

Little too white-trash? Yeah, I think so too.
