Closing Day Remembered Always


So, here is how closing on our house went today. We awoke to "the Manitoba Mauler", as the local news was calling frost and 27 degree weather that was coming to us from Canada. Almost all schools were closed and the weather was stating "Schools are putting into effect their emergency winter storm plans. They are currently de-icing school buses (with the stuff for the airplanes!!!). The cold is extremely dangerous and parents must dress their children accordingly, however please make sure not to cut off circulation." It was 27 degrees. Oh, Texas... Our closing was pushed back an hour. Now to be fair, there were patches of ice on the roads, and several accidents. However it was not so cold that we needed warnings about cutting off our kids circulation with all their winter weather gear. We had both kids with us and all our paper signing only took about 30 minutes. The title company lady left the room to make copies when we were done and we got up to play with the kids. Matthew had popped a few buttons between the legs of his pants, which happens so often that we had not run to fix it. Tony picks him up and tosses him a little in the air. (Now remember that Matthew has been on a strong antibiotic for a while and it has been giving him diarrhea for a week.) So Tony tosses him in the air a little, his crotch buttons have come open and....we heard a "plop...splat" . Oh, yes. He apparently had a big mess in his diaper that with a little help form being tossed in the air, came right out of the diaper and right out the undone snaps in his pants, and right on to the rug in the closing office. Thankfully we were the only ones in the room, and were able to get it and him cleaned up in between laughing and gagging at what had just happened. Matthew spent the rest of his time there in his jacket, a diaper and shoes. And yes, we were in the middle of the "Manitoba Mauler". Texans, please forgive me for those bare little leggies. Thank you Matthew. We will forever remember the day we closed on our new house :)
