Why, oh Why?!!

OK, so I have NO idea what is going on with my kids lately. It seems like every time I turn around, someone is in the toilet. Not using it for what it was created for, mind you. But using it in, how shall I say this, "non-traditional" ways. They're like flies gravitating towards a bright light. They can't seem to leave the toilets alone!! So, I've already talked about Evan's recent infatuation with splashing around in toilet water.

Then there's Aubrey. It seems like every 2 minutes, I am telling her to get out of the bathroom and play somewhere else. Last week, I saw her playing with the baby wipes in my diaper bag. She does it all the time so I didn't pay much attention until about 10 minutes later -- when I realized she was wiping the wipe all over her face and rubbing it on her lips, and the wipe was dripping wet. I walked over to her and said, "What are you doing Aubrey?" She got a big smile on her face and said, "I'm washing my face all clean." Then I walked into the bathroom and saw that the toilet seat was up and there was water all over the floor next to the toilet and damp toilet paper everywhere. Anyone up for a toilet water facial? Aubrey obviously thinks they're quite "cleansing."

Even Jacob has recently been pulling off all of the toilet seat covers and throwing them in the trash. I have NO idea what that's all about.

Switching gears completely now: So we had another little earthquake today. The epicenter of this one was EVEN CLOSER to our house than the one before. We've had more than 6 little earthquakes over the last 2 weeks. I'm starting to get a little paranoid.

Atleast the kiddies appreciate cleanliness! JK. Earthquakes...yikes! So foreign for us east coasters. Are they predicting anything major?
