Our usual nightly routine consists of this:
Jen makes dinner
Jeff gets home
We eat dinner
Jen bathes the babies
Hayden goes off to play
Jeff clears table
Jeff cleans floor and high chairs
Jen brings babies down
Jeff sweeps kitchen
Babies watch movie and drink bottles
Jen picks up toys
Jeff gets Hayden in bath tub
Jeff and Jen put babies to bed
Jen empties dishwasher
Hayden watches movie and drinks chocolate milk
Hayden goes upstairs and uses bathroom (he poops every single night, right before bed)
Jen/Jeff tucks Hayden in bed
Jeff does dishes
Jen goes off and blogs
Jeff go off and plays game on computer or works
This is what happens every. single. night. We are a very well oiled machine.
I am telling you this because something a little different happened tonight. My wonderful husband did all the dishes, he unloaded and loaded the dish washer. Only, I forgot to tell him that I went hunting for sippy cups today. I threw all my spoils in the sink.
I am sitting here at the computer and all of a sudden I hear, "JEN! What the f*%&$! What was in that Little Einstein cup? Yuck, Gross, Aw Man."
Me: "Oh sorry, I found that one in the car." I continue on with my blogging and then a few minutes later.
Jeff: "Aw, GROSS!. You have got to be kidding me! Another one. JEN!"
This time I don't say anything. I am silently snickering to myself. From were I am sitting it really is quite funny.
But I know that from where Jeff is standing it is really quite stinky. Chocolate milk cheese, mmmmm. He continues on muttering under his breath. I just sit here smiling and typing.
When he is finished, Jeff comes over to the computer and says, "I am an idiot."
I am thinking that I am off the hook, so I don't say anything and wait for him to continue.
Jeff: "I started unloading the dish washer but I got distracted with my game and was so grossed out by the cups that when I came back I just started loading the washer. So now I am rerunning the dish washer."
Jen: *snicker* "That's all right. Sorry about the cups. I forgot."
Jeff: "That's all right."

hilarious!
You know I was thinking just the other day, I should blog about this cottage cheese phenomenon that occurs in my house every day! You did it much better than I would have!!
Poor Jeff, What a gross surprize!!
I was totally snickering with you during Jeff's "discoveries." hehe too funny. I have found some SCARY stuff in our cups before, science experiements in the most horrific gone wrong sort of way. Whew.
I'm so impressed with your well-oiled routine. You rocks totally rock. And Hayden's nightly poop? Impressive routine there as well.
HA! That's too funny! And I'm SO impressed you guys bathe the kids every night. You're still my hero.
Can Jeff tutor Dummy??????
PS~ Your routine sounds an awful lot like ours ... only less asses to clean :)
ooh yuck I hate that stuff. And I can never completely get the smell out. The only thing worse is pee smell stuck on clothes. I've done my share in the trenches!
I am so totally impressed with your nighttime routine. Jeff must understand that Mums need help! Awesome.
LOL x 10!!!!!!!!! This was especially funny to me because I do this stuff ALL the time but usually I'm the one to smell the grossness of the sippy cups. HOWEVER, & your story reminded me of this, one fine day, I found a small dead mouse on the driveway. My little one was with me so I quickly got rid of it by just throwing it in our big green trash thingamajig. Hubby got home a day or so later (a 98 degree day later mind you) & while taking out the trash had a grueling discovery. We laugh about it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHOCOLATE milk cheese? Oh, okay, we always make plain milk cheese or strawberry milk cheese. I can add THIS to the list of things that go well with petrified french fries...
I'm just impressed your hubby did the dishes! Want to train mine?
Goodness. 4 kids, 1 husband, a job and you blog!? I bow before you! Thanks for stopping by!
I just found your site. I have triplets as well. I loved the header reminding you medicate your children.
Stinky Cups. I have found a few of those.

Ahh, routines aren't they wonderful. It sounds like your husband does quite a lot around there, as I am sure you do.
That's awesome... your routine.... and the chocolate milk cheese... eeeeewww.. I can smell it just thinking about it...
Poor Jeff. I remember the strange smells in the mini-van, to find a week or two later that a formula bottle had rolled and wedged it's self under the seat. Some of those were so bad that we just had to toss them.
We seriously need an evening routine. You all run like a well oiled machine.
I was laughing hysterically at this one because my husband pulls this on me daily. He drives the kids to and from daycare every day and always lets the two year old have a sippy of milk. He'll drop them on me several days later when I'm at the sink. They still totally gross me out. We only use the take and toss cups now so that if any are too gross I just chuck them and I don't feel bad about it.
That's so nice you can get through an unpleasant moment without a lot of blame. I miss that.
Milk in plastic containers eventually becomes unpleasant. I find water bottles with 'cheese' under beds, behind sofas etc. Ugh.
LMAO!! That was too funny!
Too funny! Love it!
