Wet wipes were not going to cover it, we needed soap and water. I found the bathroom, opened the door, pushed the kids got the kids ready to wash their hands when I realized that we were not alone.
It was occupied by a man.
I only realized this when Jake walked up to the man, pointed to his pee stream and asked, "What's that, momma?"

I don't know what it is about Hayden but ever since he turned 5, everything he does must be done with a silly noise. He walks into the room saying, "wawawawawawa." He sits and watches TV while saying, "sqeeksqeeksqueeksqueek." He rides in the car and says, "shwashwashwashwa." I don't understand the reason behind all these noises. But I do know that they need to end!

It is always my goal to take a shower every day. Most days I accomplish this goal. I put a movie on for the kids and quickly take my shower. Now every once in a while, the kids will come into the bathroom but not very often because I have tried to ingrain in them that I only want to be bothered if there is blood.
One morning there were many, many interruptions. I had had it. I just wanted to be left alone for 10 minutes to take my shower. I was just about to step in when I heard Hayden running into my room, "Mom. Mom. Mom. I need you."
"Hayden," I yelled, "What is it? I just want to take a shower. Why are you bothering me? I don't see anyone bleeding."
I continued ranting and raving for another few seconds and when I finally, let Hayden get a word in he said,
"But mom, Quinn is bleeding. He fell off the chair."
And sure enough, there came a crying, bloody lipped Quinn.

Jake had a great love for rockets. He can make just about anything into a rocket ship. He has two rockets that he takes with him everywhere. So when we were at the mall the other day and I saw a little rocket that gave rides, I thought Jake would love it.
I fished out a couple quarters from my purse, set him in the rocket, told him he was about to go on a rocket ride, put the money in the slot and stood back to watch a great mommy moment were I just made of my kids extremely happy.
As the rocket started to move and I got a goofy grin on my face, Jake got a look of horror on his face. He began to panic and scrambled out of that rocket as fast as his little legs could carry him.
I guess he only likes the still variety of rockets.

I have come to the conclusion that diapers are not my friends. I don't know if it is the amount that we use that has caused them to be angry but for some reason all of the diapers I put my children in leak. I don't know if my kids are power pee'ers or what but these diapers just don't hold things in anymore.
I guess that means its time to potty train. Either that or try and new brand of diapers. Yeah, that is what I think I will do because potty training my three 2 year olds scares me.

I like the random stories! All very interesting and funny!
Very good RTT. I tell Indy that unless he's bleeding, had a bone sticking out or something is on fire, he is not to bother me while I'm in the shower. Sometimes it works.
Great great stories. I am also scared of the potty training, but Lucy insist so we are going on regardless.
Happy RTT.
I'd stick with finding a better diaper too. Potty Training 3 seems a little over whelming.
Too bad about the rocket ride. I always find things I think the kids will love. Who do they think they are to have a different opinion? lol
Love it!
Too funny that he only likes still rockets not the moving kind.
I would be scared of potty training three two year olds too.
Stopping by from the Un Mom…
Makes you wonder if they made him bleed on purpose just so they can bother you.
We recently saw a barber shop that has planes that the kids can sit on when they get their hair cut. Unfortunately my wife's kids are now 25 and 29 respectively.
Thank you for your randomness,
My three year old is still not completely potty trained. I hope to be finished by the time he goes to school. haha!
sounds like your life is very busy I can just imagine trying to get a shower with the little ones I have been there and done that before
Love the stories.
I just bought the biggest size diapers and I'm hoping potty training will happen soon.
Have a great week.
I'm going to think twice before I say "there better be blood" again!
Love the stories :) I envision the random kid bleeding while I'm in the shower story happening to me someday, oops :)
Awesome post! okay, so did you go into the men's bathroom or was it just a unisex bathroom??
I can't even imagine the amount of diapers you have gone through.. or potty training three kids, good luck :)
I am scared to potty train my one 2 year old. Best of luck to you!!!
Great Random!
I have no problem imagining the shower scene! Been there.
You haven't had to potty train a girl yet. She will make you believe that potty training is a piece of cake.
Honestly, I can't imagine potty training times three. :)
Sadly, I am laughing a little bit and crying a little bit because when I take a shower I just lock the door. Consequences be damned. If there is blood, I just deal with it when I get out.
But I kinda suck as a mom like that! You on the other hand at least don't lock the door. ha ha!!
May the potty training gods smile upon you. I think there is a conspiracy against you within the diaper making community. Make hers leak. She will have to buy more!
All the stories were. I love these kind of posts.
Stopping by via the Un-Mom. Are the triplets all boys? Either way, I can't imagine how much work it will be to potty train 3 kids at once. Good luck!
Love your post, Good Luck with potty training. I am scared of it, but wont haev to tackle it quite yet. My son is only 9 months, so I have some time yet
Poor Quinn.
I could not keep poop in #1's diapers. She had the most blowouts I've ever seen.
Not to mention the cost of diapering 3 babies at once......
Jack is constantly being silly. And by constantly, I mean every single freakin' second of the day! It's gotta be a 5 year old boy thing.
That's HILARIOUS about the bathroom.
What type of diapers do you use?
"squeeksqueeksqueek" "wawawawawawawa"
Too funny!!! Great stories!
LOL Thanks for the laugh today I needed. The first one really cracked me up.
My 5-year-old makes nonsense noises all the time too ... it is MADDENING!!! It must be a stage they go through. .. I hope it ends really really soon.
And don't you just hate when those little moments like the rocket backfire?
I love your crazy randomness:-)
Good luck with potty training all three! Hopefully they will see it as a competition to do well and are speedy and successful at it!
I love the rocket story! Happened to me once with my older daughter except she BEGGED to ride it, and once it started to move she flipped.
Happy RTT!
Good luck with thinking about potty training! If there leaking, what has always worked for me is going up size. The sizes overlap so much usually they just need a little more room.
Were YOU in the men's room?
Speaking of diapers....M had the biggest blow out since she was a baby. I was so glad that she's not potty training officially yet....
Well, you know you are supposed to change the diapers a couple times a day, right? haha jk. Go up a size? That usually was one indicator for me. Or... changing it more often. ahem. but as for PT, one at a time. Start with Claire. Girls are usually easier and earlier. Plus, then she wont try to stand up to pee. (Trust me, that doesn't work.)
OMG! What did the man in the bathroom say?!
I don't like to be bothered during shower time either. My older one finally gets it but my 2yo still comes in a presses her face against the glass almost every morning! Ugh!
Random is my favorite! Hilarity. All over the place.
P.S. Diapers are not my friends either. :)
Potty training 3 at a time?? Hoo boy.
My son loves the ride-on things "in theory", too. Once they start to move, all bets are off.
I think we all have been there! I also give you permission to buy different diapers. Potty training for 1 (2 different times though) was hard enough!
I long for the day I can take a poop in peace... or shower with the door closed.
And potty training? Oye! I say let them wear diapers until they can change themselves! So not my favorite thing to do...
Life is never dull is it?
Yikes.
Hilarious stories especially the pee stream one. Your life must be a riot.
Potty Training 3 two-year olds? Eeek! My two-year-old is 2 months older than yours, and shows not one sign of being ready. the Little Princess.
The pee stream was hilarious! And I LOVE how little boys attach themselves to things. Rockets, trains, cars, planes, etc. I love how they all seem to do that, that obsessive fascination they have. So cute.
