Warning, this might be a bit graphic - be warned.
Setting: Last hour of Nursery, leaving the "story room" and moving across the hall to the toy Nursery.
time: 3:45 pm
Children: 13 ( 4 visitors)
Adults: 3 nursery leaders, Clyde (who I grabbed as another helper), and Brother Tanner who just arrived very late with his shy son.
What: we had just gotten all (most?) of the children to hang on to the yellow rope, which helps us get the group from one room to the other.
Who: One new Nursery leader, picks up her 17 month old daughter
slight exclamation --'Oh no, she's leaking everywhere!"
I looked at the daughter in her mothers arms and see POOP coming out around her diaper area.
and THEN I looked down and see a HUGE messy poop drop right in the middle of the doorway!!
OH NO!
Most of the children had passed into the toy room at that moment - TENDER MERCY-
Brother Tanner following us in saw it and said, "I'll go get something to clean it up"
I tossed a handful of napkins on it and was able to close the door! - TENDER MERCY-
Time: 3:50 pm, church lets out in 10 minutes.
We are now down to myself and one other nursery helper, who came the last hour as back up. She quickly found the clorox wipes and met Brother Tanner in the hall and they cleaned it all up with water and clorox wipes.
And they found a spot in the 'story room' and more down the hall! Got it cleaned up right before the meetings ended and people spilled out into the hall- TENDER MERCY-
I was in the room alone with about 10 children while the cleaning up proceeded, outside our door!
I brought out the crackers again, read a book to anyone who would listen and gave a big sigh of relief when the last child was picked up.
No one stepped in it - miracle!
cleaned up before anyone noticed - miracle!
It could have been so much worse!!
Never in my life have I had such an experience...
Sorry for the graphic post. I warned you.

It's a treat
to visit KC and Emily and Alex and Bennett and Ruby.
The triplets are so full of energy, and so fun to hug, tickle, chase, and watch.
We loved our 4 days there.
Ruby
Bennett
They were thrilled to be allowed to eat a sandwich at the table instead of in the booster seats.
I loved Bennett's 'Sawrrwee' at the slightest bump. Loved it when Ruby said 'Hi Bit' to Bennett and then she walked over to Alex and hugged him.
I loved it when they came to me and Clyde with their arms up, wanting to be held or tossed onto the couch.
A favorite moment was when Alex got this thoughtful look on his face when Clyde was laying on the floor. Alex then walked over to him and said, '1, 2, away?' He remembered that game of being tossed from when Clyde visited in May.
KC and Emily are full of patience, love, and perseverance. And very skilled at functioning on little sleep.
It was a great 4 days, and I'm missing them already.

Buckles are very interesting and yes they can buckle up!
We took them to the park, since we had 3 adults for 3 toddlers. They also loved just running in the open.
Alex
Ruby
Bennett
Ruby loves to climb on everything and she is good at getting down.
Super toddlers! These capes were worn by KC and Camille when they were about 2 - 5 years old.
Ruby loves getting dressed up and carrying the perfect purse from Nicole.

And doesn't everyone love to eat a sandwich with your foot on the table too?
The Robinson crew. Emily is entertaining them by showing videos of themselves on her camera. They were very polite and did not grab the camera! They loved laughing at the videos.

Who ever thought
that a swampy area on the Potomac river could transform into such a nice beautiful new resort and place to visit?
I went to a conference at the Gaylord National resort in National Harbor, Maryland. It's just a mile or two south of the DC border, just across the river from Alexandria.
The views were wonderful.
Water show at night.
Fun sculpture on the beach.
I'd go back anytime.

Cruising
First time cruisers.
It was definitely fun. Definitely relaxing.
I'm missing those blue waters, our friendly waiter, good company.
I never even thought about work the whole time we were on the ship or on an island. Sigh.
One view on the main street in Nassau. Fun.
It took me a few days to get back into the groove and remember how to shop and cook.
