One of those moments...

So, if you need any verification as to whether or not this really happened, just ask Emily or any one of the patrons of the Hillsboro Joann's superstore.
We were shopping for some scrapbooking supplies at Joann's with the three babies today. (Molly & Charlotte in one cart & Kate in the other) Kate was sitting up like a big kid in the front of the cart for her first time. She was loving life, all wrapped up in my sweatshirt so she wouldn't fall over.
Emily and I were a little confused about what we needed to purchase for Tina's scrapbooking party on Friday. I had a list, but was still unsure. Emily suggested I call Tina. Good idea.
Well...when I went to get my cell phone, I noticed the catastrophe. Kate had "squirted" poop out of her diaper. I say squirted, because it literally shot out of her diaper, only barely touching her jeans and landing IN the front pocket of my diaper bag. The pocket I keep my cell phone in. Yes, her poop was in my phone. When I saw what had happened, I said, "uh, Emily? Guess what...no nevermind, you have to come see this." She came over and we both just stared at it for a few seconds, letting it sink in (to our heads and the phone). We then proceeded to clean Kate, the cart, my phone and our hands with about 20 wipes. If I'd had a camera, I promise I would have taken a picture.
Guess it's time to get a new phone!

Hilarious! This will be a story you can embarrass Kate's potential boyfriends with, genius!
Oh yeah and have you read the blog Sarah Thompson's friend wrote? (Sarah sent an e-mail about it)
"Porf" That would be poop and barf combined. I've said enough, you have to read it.

Seriously it was one of those moments that we were speechless.... we just sat there staring at the goo and finally decided to take action... I lifted Kate from the cart and Sarah pulled her jeans off while I held her like she was a bomb - then I proceeded to change her diaper right there in the mddle of the scrapbooking isle.... Sarah got the real mess - I just got a cute baby with poop on her back! Sarah - maybe now it's time to get a cell phone with a camera in it! :) So funny!

Sweet!
It may be worth it to check the stores video camera system just for blackmailing purposes when Kate becomes a teenager.
Just a thought.
