The Poop Arena-Not a pretty story....

So this happened last week...Last Friday night. My helper had just left and my hubby was not home yet. I had put the trio into The Octogon to play until it was Jammie Time. They were having a blast, chasing each other through their play gates and laughing at what the others were doing. It was amazing to watch their interaction. They are finally starting to enjoy each other and play with each other. I pretended to read so they would not have the distraction of Mommy. But I was mesmerized watching them.
I thought that I smelled something not very pleasant, so I looked at William's tush. He had on a one piece romper and he was really cute. There was a shadow falling on his butt from our broken vertical blind, so I thought everything was ok.
A few minutes later...Teresa makes her way over to the side of the corral that is closest to me and begins to whine/cry. I look at her and tell her that she is fine and having fun with her brothers. She sticks out her lower lip (and where she gets that from I have no idea) and whines again. I pick my book up and read.
The stinky smell is suddenly very strong and I look up from my book. William is sitting in front of me in the corral with something in his lap that he is playing with. Travis is next to him and reaching for whatever is in William's lap. I am confused, not sure what he has in his hands when suddenly I see Blue the dog from Blue's Clues. That dog is on the front of his diaper. The diaper that is in his lap. The poop-filled diaper that has somehow magically gotten off of his body without his outfit coming unsnapped. The diaper that he and his brother have been playing with.
I scream.
I pluck William and the diaper out of the corral and I take him into the Nursery sink where I just start spraying him down. I have to unsnap his outfit to get him out of it and there is poop everywhere. I have to hurry too, because I have left the other 2 in the corral and as I was running I saw poop in there with them.Who knows what they could be doing? I finally get William mostly clean and slap a diaper on him so I can rescue the others.
Teresa is on the other side of the corral and she looks at me as if to say
"Mom, why did you think I was crying? Could you not smell him from over there? I was trying to tell you he was gross!"
Travis is sitting next to the poop. I go for him first and I see poop on his nose, neck, and near his mouth...I am just going to let you fill in your own blank. Needless to say, he was #2 on the bath list.
I grab the most widely used product in our home, OxyClean Carpet Cleaner, and get to work. Then I have to scrub the sink so I can bathe the boys, who are now screaming in their cribs because I have separated them.
As I finish their baths, Aaron walks in and smiles. I hand him all three and retreat to my happy place...my bathroom. I take a shower since I am now the only one still covered in poo.
I now know why I picked out cheap carpet for my home.
