Caught with his pants down!

Today we started out early to pay our vehicle taxes. There's a park right across the road from the Court house. So, I decided to reward the kids and take them there. As soon as I made it down to the playground with Giana, I noticed Amber doing the last minute pee dance(you mom's know what I'm talking about). So, we scrambled to find a bathroom. At which point Jonah decided he need to go #2(to put it nicely). So we waited for about 5 minutes, when I told him to cut it off, we need to get back to playing. He came out screaming something about going to a $ store. And continued on about how he wasn't done. This is a constant battle in our home. Does anyone else have that problem?
Anyways, I had just put Giana in the swing when I turned around and caught Jonah with his pants down and backed up to a tree(in the middle of the playground!). I quickly persuaded him to pull them back up. The whole time there was weeping, wailing, and nashing of teeth! I gave up and hauled the kids back to the van. Needless to say they never got to play. We decided to go back home and let him finish his "business", and then start the day over. Sometimes I wonder why I try!!

Ughhh! I hate when that happens. Noah is always waiting until we're out somewhere before he decides to tell me he needs to go. I feel your pain. But, endure to the end...

That's hilarious! You mean to tell me you're not one of those moms who drives around with a potty in the back of the minivan??? Ha!

I know Tyson! After watching Jon & Kate plus 8, I realize that people do indeed do that. I must confess, I have thought about it!

ewh, how gross. That is always so aggravating. We haven't had to do that at a park yet, but every time we come to San Antonio Isabel always announces she has to go potty. So we have to pull over on the side of the road and just let her go.
