What have your kids flushed down the toilet??

Lately, Austin has had this obession with the water in the bathroom.....he will say "I have to go and wash my hands" and will do so for 10 minutes until I enter and put a stop to the "handwashing" aka water playing. So the other day when I was on the computer (probably blogging) I could hear what sounded like water running from the bathroom and my kids enjoying themselves. Thinking it was the bathroom sink they were playing with I didn't get up right away until I heard Austin yelling "MOM!!!" in a panic voice. Upon entering the bathroom, I found water all over the floor and the toilet overflowing.

When questioning Austin about what happened, I was led to the conclusion that he had tried to flush too much toilet paper down the toilet. So.....after plunging 100 times, pooring hot water into the toilet bowl and letting the toilet sit for 2 days (hoping the toilet paper would dissolve) it would still not flush. Our last option before having to call the plummer was using a wire auger and it worked!! Except there was no big wad of toilet paper but instead Craig pulled out A DIAPER!!!! (I'm amazed that it even flushed as far down as it did)

Hmmm....so either Austin forgot the he had put a diaper in the toilet or else just didn't want to fess up to doing so....or perhaps his sister in crime threw it into the toilet....I guess we'll never know.

We'll probably never know all the things that go down the toilet. Lately around here, I've caught Owen throwing things in the trash that aren't trash. I wonder sometimes how many things have gotten thrown away that weren't supposed to - nothing really important yet. Fun age...

it's probably a good thing we don't always know what is flushed down there.... glad you didn't have to call the plumber! We've had to make a no playing in the bathroom water a rule recently.... we'll see how long that actually works :)
