my kitchen floors did not poop. but i wiped them anyway.

this is what happened. there was a tattle. and then. baby was sentenced to one whole minute in time out. and this was because li'l tot found an almost full package of diaper wipes, slaughtered.

there were close to 90 diaper wipes scattered all over the floor in baby's room. apparently, baby was bored. so with the wipes being on the floor, i couldn't very well use them properly anymore. i mean. yeah, if food falls on the floor, it's still good to eat. but wipes on the floor? no way are they touching baby's bottom.

so i did the only logical thing. i took the wipes and "mopped" down my entire kitchen floor. on my hands and knees. sparkly! also. while i was down there, i found a squished something or other. quite similar to what i discovered in baby's diaper just hours prior to the incident.

i know you didn't ask. but i shared anyway. it brings us closer.

Yuck!

Tanted diaper wipes are sooo gross! They mayerk me sick to my stomach and I want to varmit!

Eating foods off the floor, OR old, random food you culldn't identify however, well, that's like a deledcacy!

Sounds like you made the best of it. My son loves to shred wipes too.

Stopping by from SITS. Have a great day!

Baby could have done worse. Really.. my mom once found my little brother 'finger painting' on the wall near his crib. You can guess that probably didn't have any paints... you do the math.

I bet Baby would've wiped up the floor, and then she would've been kept out of trouble for a while. Until she found the squished thing on the floor, then there would have been a whole new kind of trouble...

You are soooooo thinking! I would have never thought of a way to use those wipes up....I've had that happen several times. I think you've had more sleep than I have!!! Visiting from SITS! LOVE IT!

Insanitykim said...

Well, I love that you found something useful for the mishap...if only I could be that calm in situations like that to think..hmmm..instead of throwing these away, what could I clean with it!?! I am sorta OCD with cleaning...Thanks for my comment love Ü

The one time we found a little present on the floor for us was after my husband changed the baby's diaper. It was not on properly! Stopping by from SITS!

Mighty M said...

I have used baby wipes to clean a number of household items. I feel they do a great job and the kids are always so willing to get them out!! :)

Kearsie said...

OOOH OOOH, KIMMY IS RIGHT. ACK.

Fancy (Disturbing) word.

Kate and Oli said...

thanks for your comment on my blog!

Nikki said...

Too funny and sadly way too familiar. My daughter decided to make confetti out of some wipes last night while I ran her bathwater. Popped over from SITS and thoroughly enjoyed it!

JDaniel4's Mom said...

That is such a great idea. I would hate to have them go to waste. Thanks for stopping by.

Kristy K said...

Thanks for commenting on my blog. I went to Walmart today, so the break up was very short-lived. I hate myself.

This post reminds me of the time my 3 year old tried to change my infant's diaper. She used tons of wipes, then stacked them in a big pile. Ugh.

Great blog you've got here!

Sonora said...

This made me laugh out loud. My toddler does the same thing. I don't know how many times I have walked in and found her in the middle of a pile of baby wipes. The funny thing is, I am a bit of a germaphobe and it never occurred to me to not use the wipes after she got ahold of them. I just put them in a zip lock baggie for later. I may have to try your floor idea. I know mine could use it!

Stacy said...

Hey, I love stuff too!

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Loving the pbJ*choc chip dominoes. Would it be weird for me to eat them even if I don't have kids? :)

Amanda in GA said...

Every time my kid makes a mess, he totally takes the wind out of my sails by getting equal delight out of helping to clean up.

Clever use of butt wipes, though, very clever.

Marci said...

you are the poster child for being GREEN.

Chelle said...

I love it when wipes are massacred. And then day slater I find the struggling survivors or what is left of the survivors as they were attacked by the wild beasts that roam free in the house.

What a clever way to use "tainted" wipes!! I think I might have to give it a go sometime when I run out of swiffer pads...

Thaks for coming by and commenting on my blog!

Andrea (ace1028) said...

Oh! I totally do this, too!!!

Katye said...

tristan said...

this happened at my house. i yelled. the rest is foggy. all i know is that my husband got home from work and tevyn was eating candy and watching cars and i was laying on the couch sucking my thumb and had "cold compresses" (wipes) on my eyes. the little turd won the battle...but i will win the war...

Double Wide Mom said...

YES! I love this! Isn't that what these new disposable moppy swiffer things are anyway? Baby WIPES! Check it out! They're probably made at the very same place.
