It Came to Life

This morning Matthew's body was really achey, so my mom made him take a bath in her jacuzzi tub. She put a small TV in there so he could watch a movie and relax, and some epsom salt and a very small amount of soap so it would be just a little bubbly. Later I went looking for my mom in her room and noticed that she was in the bathroom. The door was open, and when I went inside I just had to laugh! The tiny bit of soap she put in the water to make a small bubble bath exploded into a living, breathing monster that grew at an incredible rate. Matthew was just sitting there laughing as my mom was running around her bathroom looking for a cup to scoop out the soap. This is what it looked like when I walked in:


And in the minute that it took my mom to run to the kitchen to grab a large tupperware bowl it turned into this:

His beard came back! Sort of.


The bubbles were so high that he couldn't see the TV, and they were bubbling over onto the ledge. It looked like he was in a huge cloud. After a while, we realized that the bubbles would stop growing if we turned off the jets. hahaha Blonde moment? So we both started scooping out the bubbles and putting them in her shower because it is right next to the tub. It took about ten minutes to get them down to a more normal height.

This is what her shower looked like when we were done. haha It was so full!


During the process of scooping and dumping, we got bubbles everywhere. All over the floor, on the walls, on the counter...It made a huge mess, but it was a blast! We were all laughing the entire time too because it was just such a ridiculous scene. Fun day.
