Eewwwww

Note- this post is not for the squeamish.
The kids needed a bath tonight and while we normally pass them through the shower (Jim baths and I catch) he was out of commission because he may have gotten some poison ivy on his arm (not from our yard) and we didn't want to get it on the kids.
So it was time for the tub. When we do tub time I have been bathing all of the kids together and usually they do well (and they enjoy it).
So I get everyone stripped and in the seconds between me getting Jo's diaper off and getting into the bathroom to start the water....Doug pees on the floor (no we are not potty trained yet). So then I have to get all the kids in and the pee cleaned up.
The kids are having fun. We have our usual squabble over who gets to hold the cup (MOMMY GETS THE CUP! I need it for dumping water to rinse children!). Kids are having fun... Everyone wants to dump water on Jo.... Normal bath.
Then Doug and Andy start laying on their tummies and messing around. Doug manages to swallow a bunch of bath water. This is, of course, toward the end of the bath time so there is shampoo in the water. Next thing I know is that Doug is throwing up into the bathwater. Of course he is not toward the drain but toward the back of the tub. Not only that but there are a ton of toys in the tub....and he manages to hit Jo. The main thing in the puke...chunks of meatball from the spaghetti we had from dinner...chunks too big to go down the drain.
Eeeeewwwww.
We ended up draining the water and then turning on the shower, but the whole time I am having to holler at the kids to stay in the tub (don't want it tracked all over the house).
At least Jo was young enough not to be grossed out by it.
