As not everyone is on Facebook, I thought I would post Chris' note about two days of interesting events. Fortunately for all of you, there are no photographs...
The past 2 days have been somewhat exciting here at the Yeingst household. Let me recap so you all can enjoy it.
Tuesday, we put the twins down for their nap at 1 pm. Some time after that Maddie had a dirty diaper. Those with children are saying, “So what?” Sometime after that she decided to REMOVE HER DIAPER and play with the contents; covering herself and her crib. She is quite the artist. This went on for some time as Vanessa & I can figure. The twins are very good sleepers so we did not discover her artistic adventure until 3 pm. The horror of the discovery will scare me for years. But wait there’s more.
As many of you know, I work 3rd shift and like many of us I sleep during the day. Well, Wednesday, I was awoken around 4 pm to the sound of Vanessa screaming for me. I immediately come running downstairs to what was wrong. Vanessa doesn’t panic, so I knew it was something major.
Apparently, she was trying to be a good little wife and make a fire in the fireplace for when I woke up. We have been using the fireplace a lot over the past few weeks, including yesterday. When Vanessa went to sleep last night, she closed the fireplace but left the chimney open to vent the rest of the smoke.
Sometime over the course of the evening or day, a squirrel decided to climb into the chimney and down to the fireplace. And there he hides, until Vanessa opened the doors to the fireplace. Leaping out and scrambling around the family room, looking for a way out. This is where Vanessa and the kids began screaming and I enter the picture. The squirrel had hidden under an ottoman and I was able to coral him out the slider to the patio and outside. There is no moral to this story, except beware squirrel attacks. I just thought some of you would get a chuckle from these events. Imagine yourself going through this; the squirrel attack, I wouldn’t wish the diaper on anyone. OOOHHHH! The smell!!!!!
P.S. I expect to hear at least one reference to Cousin Eddie.
