Cries, Falls, and Water (lots of it)

Last Friday pandemonium struck! And it all happened in less than 5 minutes! This is how it went:

Mason, getting ready for a bath, is stark naked, and Kevin says "Do you hear that?" and goes to the bathroom to get a towel. He then yells "oh no!" and runs out of the house and down to the cellar.

Then I hear a crash in the kitchen and crying. I leave Mason on the floor and run to Tage, who has fallen off of the barstool and is hurt. At this point Mason begins wailing, and I see what Kevin was concerned about as water is flowing out of the bathroom door. Curse the cold 200 year old walls!

Baby+Toddler+Burst pipes= A lot of dirty laundry

The chaos ended as quickly as it started (except the pipes aren't quite fixed yet) and it wasn't all that bad... worse things could have happened, like Mason could have peed on the carpet during his naked aloneness, but he didn't!

I guess this is what it is like having more than one child! I look forward to more crazy events, as long as they don't have any lasting concequences, such as the carpet smelling like pee. (Again, Mason, I thank you for exercising some bladder control.)
