A Gold Bond Moment

We had a Gold Bond (foot powder) disaster this morning. But the story actually begins yesterday morning when Gabriel woke up with a fever. Traci and the kids were coming to attend church with us and Gabriel just wasn't himself. So, Todd decided to stay home with him, while we went to church. I got home to find that Gabriel had thrown up a couple of times while we were gone. He continued this all day until the evening in between short naps. We had him in bed by 7pm and I hoped we would have a nice quiet night. However, to my dismay, Andrew woke up at 10:30pm crying and then Gabriel woke up at 12:30am because he was hungry, which also woke up Andrew. Now both kids had had a midnight snack and were tucked back in bed, but at 1:45am Gabriel decided he was up for good. All of his afternoon napping on Sunday had messed up his sleep pattern and he was hungry again to boot. Between 2am and 4am I got quite a bit done. I did dishes and laundry, read to the kids (of course Andrew had to get up too), fed the kids again, watched Toy Story 2 and finally got them back into bed. Surely they would be tired and sleep in, right? Wrong, they were both up at 6:30am. I was so exhausted at this point that I stuck another movie in for them and crawled back to bed. A little while later I heard a cough, which actually turned out to be a sneeze. I got up to check on the kids and what I found was two little boys on top of the dinner table covered in Gold Bond Foot powder. They found it while riffling through Todd's backpack, which he left on the table. I took a few pictures for posterity's sake and then promptly cleaned them up. I never got back to bed after that.
