What unsupervised Elmo bubble bath can do

When I was a kid, I loved the Brady Bunch.  I was kind of a Brady Bunch groupie.  Within the first ten seconds of an episode I could pretty much tell you which one it was going to be.  It was a wholesome pasttime.

In one episode one of the six children put way too many soap suds in the washer and when Alice went in the room the whole place was filled to the brim with suds.  I always kind of wondered how she cleaned it up. 


Well, now I know . . .

In keeping with my goal to preserve childhood, I took the kids on a bike ride and remained calm while they tromped through water puddles in their shoes.  Upon return, I thought it would be best to bathe them to rinse off those icky street germs.
 
The boys wanted to get in the master bathroom tub . . . and add bubble bath . . .and turn on the jets.
 
A lethal combination.  But SOOOO much fun.  So I'm told.  Bubbles speweth forward in all directions when I surveyed the damage.  I'm sure they were at least three feet high on the floor.  I did laugh--just for the record.  What else could you do when you see those little faces?
 
No good deed goes unpunished.

I too know every episode by heart. We have passed the tradition of the Brady Bunch on to Savannah & Trey who love it too. We'll have to go head-to-head with trivia soon. These pictures of your kids are great!!

Now that is some serious bubbles and they do look very, very, happy.

Okay...I have the same Brady Bunch groupie thing going on -- even to this day. We watch it every night @ 5:30 on channel 11 right after Curious George. I can totally tell you what episode it's going to be in the first 10 seconds too!! I think I've passed this fan thing on to Connor -- he can sing along with the whole "Here's a story...of a lovely lady".
