The Doctor's Office

I forgot the best part of our doctors visit yesterday. First off you need to know that the trash can in our doctors office is one of those sturdy square metal ones with the flip up lid and that it is only about two feet tall. Just tall enough for a little boy to climb on and get into trouble. Well this particular trash can is right next to the sink not the best place for it in my oppinion but they didn't ask me. Anyway, the doctor ordered a nebulizer treatment for Sarah to see if it would help with the weezing. The nurse hooked up the machine on the far side of the room away from the sink and then showed me how to use it and left me to finish giving Sarah the medicine. Now, by this time Joey is bored and tired and so is Erik. Erik climbed up on the trash can, turned on the water in the sink and started washing his hands. Harmless enough until he got the bright idea to get paper towels wet and try to wash the counter. Now these paper towels aren't the soft absorbant kind like we use at home. They are the stiff papery kind that take a minute to soak up water. Needless to say they made the water splash all over the counter and then drip onto the floor. Joey thought this was funny and started to laugh at his brother wich only made Erik splash more water. This whole time I am tethered to a nebulizer machine on the other side of the room with a hose and cord that are too short for me to reach the boys. By the time I finally got over to them there was a good 1/2-inch of water on the floor. I was so frustrated! I got a bunch of paper towels and had the boys wipe up their mess during which time Joey decides that mopping up the floor with a paper towel is fun and he proceeds to mop the entire floor. By this time the doctor finally comes back in and Joey tells her he is cleaning the floor. She got quite a kick out of him mopping the floor with his little paper towel. Leave it to my boys to figure out a way to make a mess no matter where we go!
