As some of you may remember we had a water leak in the back bathroom which flooded out into our 'closet of books'. Instead of spending the $80 to fix the whole mess Papa got a plug and just turned off all the water to that bathroom except the toilet. This bathroom is now pretty much storage with a toilet anyway so no real harm done. He'll fix it this summer when it's nice and warm out and he has time. Because there are so many of us in such a small space we've been using the tub for storage for quite some time. So whenever we needed the tub I would just empty it of foam chairs and beanbags and the odd box or toy and we'd rinse it and fill it up and have a bath. The tub has no shower and the shower has no tub. Now that the water is turned off the kids have been having showers instead, with the girls having quick baths in the kitchen sinks every once and awhile to have some fun. Well Papa recently came up with a great idea for them to all be able to have a bath. He took one of my new totes and put it in the shower. Then he filled it up half way with water and TA DA a mini tub!! They love it. And that 1st day they all 3 soaked for some time. L had the water warm enough it was a mini Hot Tub!! Lucky. Now if only I fit!! LOL.
The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing. But in our culture we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture.
