Baked Ziti + Thunderstorms =

Mommy getting creative.


Nathan told me a few months ago that you should never takes baths or showers during a thunderstorm, namely, one with lightening.  I seriously never knew that, and even googled it to make sure he wasn't yanking my chain.  Turns out, it's dangerous.  So there I was last night, all alone with the babies (he was working 3-11p), and they were having the best time eating baked ziti.  Things were status quo, until The Biggest Storm Ever began raging over Columbia.  Power went out a few times, Dish Network was a complete mess, and there we were at the dinner table... trying to figure out how in the world baths were going to take place in such a "dangerous situation."  I'm one to take chances, but not with my babies!

This was my solution, and it worked out pretty nicely.  I brought in the pool from outside, filled it up with buckets of warm water from the kitchen sink (took my chances there), and wahlah!  Bath time.  Tyler & Caroline thought it was wonderful, as you can see.

  8. As for how I drained it, we are lucky enough to have a big sliding glass door that opens to the deck from the kitchen. I CAREFULLY pulled the pool over to the door & dumped it out! Shockingly, not a drop hit the floor!
