The past couple of days have been deceptively beautiful. It looks nice and sunny outside, but it is actually windy and cold.
So my boys have been getting a little stir crazy after being able to go out and play last weekend. I called a friend and we decided to get together so our kids could play.
After Eli's morning nap I got everything together to head out the door. I had a limited window of playtime between Eli's morning and afternoon nap, so I was in a bit of a hurry to get there. You know how it is... putting shoes and socks on, packing up the diaper bag, getting snacks together, grabbing jackets, and carrying the small one and diaper bag out the door with a two-year-old in tow.
I got everything in the car and started to strap the boys in their carseats. It was then I noticed the distinctive odor of a poopy diaper.
Oh well! I thought. I'll just have to change Eli when we get there.
We arrived at my friends house and I grabbed the diaper bag and the boys. I left my jacket in the car because I didn't think I would need it, and we headed inside. As soon as everyone was settled, I checked Eli, only to find that he wasn't stinky.
Hmm... I thought. I know I smelled something. Maybe one of the boys just let a stinky one or something, they are boys after all.
We played and had a great time. I didn't think any more about the stinky smell, until I went to put the boys back in the car to go home. As soon as I opened the car door, I smelled that same yucky smell. I checked Eli again and he was still clean!
What on earth? Why am I smelling stinky diapers?
At this point I was a bit confused...
until I noticed that not only was my jacket in the front seat of the car, but also a plastic bag containing dirty diapers that I was going to throw in the trash can on my way to the car! Obviously that didn't happen in my hurry to get out the door.
I promptly threw the diapers in my friend's can and had a good laugh about it on the way home.
My husband gets mad all the time because I will be on my way out to throw one away, and I will forget, or I am caught up with another issue.. funny story. How in the world did you drive with that smell..
ReplyDeleteGlad you could have a good laugh about it! Dirty diapers have happened to all of us.
ReplyDeletethat is too funny. I hope you got to air out your car a bit!
ReplyDeletehaha, too funny!
ReplyDeleteI think we have all had that kind of moment in some way or another.
=)
that is totally something that I would do, too funny.
ReplyDeleteHaha!
ReplyDeleteOh yuck! It's a good thing it wasn't a really hot day or your car would've smelled nice and ripe!
ReplyDeleteIt could have been worse....try forgetting one of those priceless packages in the car when it is 95 degrees outside! Been there...done that. Eeewwww.......
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha! That is so funny! I can totally see myself doing that if my kids were little.
ReplyDeleteWhen my parents moved they moved their garbage with them because somebody just tossed the garbage bag in the truck, thinking it was household stuff.
When my girls were in diapers the smell of dirty diaper was embedded in my nose. LOL :)
ReplyDeleteAt least the diapers were in a plastic bag - could of been worse.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for spring.
Have a great Monday.
I have done that many a time. At least they were in a bag...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad those stinky diapers were in a bag and not directly on your coat! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're getting a little stir-crazy, too! Even if it's cold outside, I suggest a nice little tour of the local construction site...that'll get everyone focused!
ReplyDeleteOh funny! My short-term memory makes me do stuff like that all the time. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't have to change a dirty diaper! :)
ReplyDeletelol! Something I would do too!
ReplyDeleteUGH! I have to say that I do not miss the smell of stinky diapers. But I do miss play dates. :)
ReplyDeletethat is very funny! the things we do when we are in a hurry.
ReplyDeletejust stopping by from sits to say hello.
ewwwwwwww! I can almost smell that from here. ;)
