PB Wrap up (tha's Pre Baby, in case you were keeping track)

One day I decided to host a little in home lunch for a good friend at my house.  Often times we move fun friend lunches to a house so that all of the tiny little people that we have don't reak havoc in public.  Jonah had been particularly difficult in recent months.  I was prepping myself for a whirlwind of hurt when the baby arrived because he has been destructive and crazy and insane!  He likes to be super naughty when he gets together with his little cousin Lovey.  They adore each other.  They run and hug when they see each other but they have been known to cause lots and lots of trouble as of late.  Most of the time it involves a toilet.
During the lunch they had disappeared upstairs.  Megan was kind enough to restrict me from running up the stairs so she was doing the honors every once in a while to check on them.  After a few minutes of eery silence she ran up to do a check and returned to the balcony screaming urgently for backup.  She had walked into the bathroom upstairs to find the two littles maniacally stirring a concoction in the toilet with the plunger and toilet brush.  There was an inch of water on the floor, flowing freely into the vanity areas on either side.  The two toddlers had retreated to the media room and were hiding under the ottoman.  My friends, my dear friends that were there to enjoy a lovely lunch wouldn't let me help but they sprang from their seats and proceeded to sop up toilet water from the floor of the bathroom.  By the time I got upstairs with towels and rags, Megan was already up to her elbows emptying the contents of the toilet with her bare hands and trying to stop the flow of water.  The toddlers had shoved no less than two rolls of toilet paper all the way into the hole.
By the time my friends were done, the bathroom was cleaner than it has been in two years.
My friends, are the best.  The very best.
As we were walking back downstairs a wet glob of toilet paper literally fell from the sky onto my toe.  It was a comical reminder that life is gross, and random and funny and wonderful all at the same time.
