A poopy experience

Yesterday, after Tim got home, I ran to return some movies, and to grab a couple things at the store. Ouch, the cost of food now!!! But that is a different story.... Anyway, I pull into the driveway, grab the grocery bag and walk up to the house, and though the open window all I hear is Tim's voice, "Drop it, don't touch, oh my gosh, oh my gosh..."
All I am thinking is, oh no, what did Duffy do now. So I walk into the house and set the bag on the island, and call for Tim, and he just replies, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh." Then I turn the corner into the hallway. And there is Jairus with a poopy diaper in his hand, his hands are covered in poop and so are his feet!!!! Stunned, Tim is holding his elbows to keep for spreading the contamination any further. I just looked at him and thought "I have no idea where to start." So we get him into the sink to rinse off before giving him a real bath. While I am doing that, I ask Tim to look around to see where else he may have gotten the poop. Tim goes into the living room, and there is poop all over the carpet! Luckily we have a mini carpet machine, so that wasn't so bad. And Jairus didn't eat the poop, so I guess that is a good thing. Anyhow, this was our first really nasty experience with that sort of thing, so I thought I'd share it. Wish I would have gotten a picture now, but I was so stunned, I didn't know what to do. Hope our story made you laugh. We love you all.
