No Power, Some Glow & Poo

Yesterday the power at our house went out for several hours and that was supremely enjoyable (insert A LOT of sarcasm here). In all honesty though, I really didn't notice all that much for the most part since we did a lot to keep busy and cool.

Boogie and I went for our morning trike ride around Lake Shawnee, read some of her books while getting in a good bench sitting workout and swam in the pool. Since Boogie hadn't had a bath yet and we were both sweaty and covered in chemicals (our pool doesn't smell of chemicals, but I know they are in there), so I thought a bath before lunch was needed.

At this point we still didn't have electricity, so we had a "Glow-in-the-Dark Bath-Time" day! Its amazing how dark a bathroom can be, so I lite a candle just so there was a tad bit more light.

I really wanted some glow-in-the-dark washable paint to make the whole wall light up, but I used what we had. She got in the tub with toys of course, and an array of glow sticks, glow necklaces, balloons filled with those things and a princess balloon that already had an LED light in it (thats the brightest balloon you see -- these are AWESOME!).

This was maybe one of the most fun bath-times we have had! Woohoo! I think that's a point scored for mommy!

At first Boogie didn't seem to really care (mind you, I was making her stay up and she was REALLY tired, so I'm sure that didn't help), but then it was like a light-bulb went off and she started grabbing for the lights, hitting the balloons and splashing everywhere.

Here's some pics of our fun! They are dark but uh, the camera flash took away from the glowing (duh)! :P

{Wham! 1 balloon down! haha}

{Love her!}

After about 15 minutes of playing I heard this grunt and then bubbles. Hmmmm, can you guess what happened? Yes, she POOPED! Have you ever tried to get a slippery kid out of poopy-filled bath water without getting EVERYTHING filthy, wash the tub, put your kid back in the tub to wash AGAIN all by LED lights and a small candle? Me either, until now! It was actually quiet funny and even harder to do when your laughing!

This will definitely be something we do again but I'll up the ante in the glow department for next time, and maybe we'll get lucky enough for it to be poo-free!
