more thankfulness

Henry was thankful that his parents kept their temper the night before Thanksgiving when they found this scene...James is thankful that his daddy doesn't tease him like his uncle does...and he's thankful that he still got to partake in the traditional foods of Thanksgiving (mush style)... I'm thankful that Preston made Banana Cream Pie for the big Thanksgiving dinner at his parents' house. I don't love pie and he does (who wants to cook something they don't eat?). Don't ya love his pie-making stance?

And we're all grateful that Janeen slaves away in the kitchen all day and Nick cuts the turkey year after year so that all of us can have a delicious feast...

Is that brown stuff what I think it is? If so, you two are saints for not giving up for adoption at that moment

pamela said...

oh really. for real. i'm calling you before i look at your blog.

and james' sad face makes me sad.

ok I think I am going to PUKE! that is GROSS!! you should have had a disclaimer on your blog before reading that one OR posting that picture FIRST!!! SICK! I am sorry you had to clean it all up.

And that POOR face on James, poor little guy! He is still so cute though, I could eat him up!!! How perfect that he was able to eat his "own" turkey and sweet potatoes!! Just wait until next year when he can have the GOOD STUFF!!!

I am glad that wasn't a picture of your hubby making a CHOCOLATE pie then I think I would have really puked!!! You have a good hubby for making the pie for you!! I am sure it was delish.

Unknown said...

I can seriously smell the poop coming from the top picture.

Jen said...

Oh my goodness! I have been there and cleaned that up before. I feel your pain/overwhelming senses! That's a time when a jug of colorox becomes your new best friend! Tell James' mean ole' uncle to quit making that poor baby cry. The nerve! J/K!

Renee said...

Jessie...oh, Jessie! Seriously, it's moments like these that test true character! I feel for Henry...look at his sad-I-got-caught-doing-something-bad face! Bleach, bleach & more bleach...bleach is a mother's friend!! James, sad...but still a doll! I'm curious about the conversation between you & your dh after that! :) We always totally laugh after something like that!

Renee said...

...after we're totally disinfected, I might add! Then, we laugh!

Um, is that sh#$?

Mandi@TidbitsfromtheTremaynes said...

Oh and also Jeff is laughing his head off.

The Unprocessed Project said...

It's really just pudding, right? The brown water might be the grossest part of the whole pic. Why is he crying? Because he got caught?

Joelle said...

Wow, is that what I think it is? Oh boy, is Henry crying because he knew that you were angry or that he was caught? This is a moment you will laugh back on years from now and Henry will hide with embarassment when you show him the picture : )

Jessie said...

Yep, it's poop. Lots.of.it. He's actually crying because he got soap in his eye, NOT because he's covered in his own feces. Sick, I know, but I had to share the biggest mess of my mommyhood.

MommyRohner said...

OK, the poop is gross, but that's honestly not what caught my eye first. It's your frog pod. My boys bathroom is decorated with frogs, and I have one of those. I've attached the dumb thing to the wall TWICE with the sticky things that come with it, and then I finally bought the suction cup option they offer. IT WON'T STAY ON THE WALL! I follow the directions exactly... but to no avail. Any special tricks?

Oh, and I'm with you on the pie. I despise pie, but I make them for Brandon all the time. I think he tells me I make the best pie so I'll continue to make them for him. I made 2 for Thanksgiving... and I at my sister's pumpkin cake.

Janelle said...

I am THANKFUL that I didn't have to clean up that mess!!! I am sure I would have lost my lunch!!!

jodi said...

jessie in all my years being a nurse I have never seen anything so fecally gross. I feel for you sweetheart. Did you make Preston clean it up or did you do it and dry heave the entire time?

Melinda said...

Oh I sure felt for you after seeing that picture.....I'm surprised you didn't cry like the boys!

Elle said...

Oh my gosh. My first bathtub poop experience was a couple of weeks ago, I thought it was horrible, and it looked nothing like that! Did he pick up the poop and smear it? I dumped a gallon of bleach in the tub and let it set there for two days!

Davenport family said...

Wow! Happy Thanksgiving to you! Been there. It makes you wonder what the heck was I thinking! I enjoyed visiting you and your boys. So who was teasing James.. Beauen? Love ya!

Jessica said...

That is the most hilarious thing. I had to call Tony in to look at it. I don't blame you for taking a picture...that is classic. You are one very nice momma for not losing your temper while cleaning that up.

Niederfam said...

Oh WOW, what patience to NOT loose your cool when you walk in a bathroom that looks like that, you must be SAINTS. REALLY. ;)
