Drastic Measures require Duct Tape

When you are married to a Canadian you learn pretty quick that Canadians use duct tape pretty much for everything that needs holding, fixing, taping, plugging and so on ...

Seriously, I am NOT kidding!!!
It's like a Country staple item. I am sure when you become a Canadian citizen they hand you a Passport (which is harder to get than a 6 carat diamond!!) and a "How to use duct tape for everything" hand-book.

Pat's cousin had posted a comment, some time back, about using duct tape to keep the diapers on her girls during nap time (they had discovered that they could take these things off and play with the contents quite nicely ...).
I laughed so hard when I read it and thought "Only Canadians will do that!"

Well watch out Canada, we Germans learn quickly!!!

We were in a HUGE (size XXL) dilemma tonight when we discovered that L had run out of night diapers
last night and we didn't buy new ones. SORRY my Love ... I hereby outed you :(

YES, she still needs them at night.
I know, I know ... she is late BUT I really don't care too much.
If we are still dealing with this in a year we'll start nagging her.
You try lifting a 50 lbs dead-weight kid, sleeping on the TOP bunk, out of bed at night to make her go potty!!!
Naaa ... NOT ME!!! I can hardly hold her head anymore. She is solid as a rock!!!

So back to the HUGE dilemma.
I searched everywhere, over and under ... but there was not one of her night-diapers for BIG kids left, nothing hidden in a corner or under the bed. NOTHING!!! Now what to do? What to do?

BINGGGGGG 
(light bulb lights up over my head!) 
Kelly!!!! YES!!!!

And so we did this tonight ...



My little SUMO!!!


From a size 5 toddler to a size XXL for Juniors in 5 seconds!!!


Lulu: "That's my Hippy-Di-Pooh" diaper!!! I want it back!!!"
Lillie: "I'll give it back tomorrow"
Mama: "NOOOT!!!"
