Bath Toys

These are a few of Kohen's bath toys... I thought I would be a good mom and wash them just to make sure they are extra clean. They didn't look dirty, I just wanted to wash them before we took them to the new house. I first filled the sink with steaming hot water and dish soap to let them soak before I put them in the dishwasher. When I was loading them into the dishwasher, I noticed something coming out of the hole in the hippos mouth. I got a paper towel and wiped it. A long black stringy thing came out.... I was disgusted because Jason and I both spray water from these toys onto Kohen to make him laugh. I was curious... so, like a good mom, I took a knife to the hippo...










SERIOUSLY!!!!!! Are you kidding me!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it. The bath toys are now in the trash. ALL of them. Even the toys that don't have "blow" holes. I challenge you to cut open one of your child's bath toys.... you might be surprised...

I remember discovering that in one of Caroline's bath toys. I usually throw out the toys that have any hidden compartments every so often!

Steph, I wash out the bath toys with a little bleach water every so often and make sure that I squeeze every bit of water out of any of the squirt toys before we get out of the bath. I have thrown away most of them, but replaced a couple. It's so hard to find bath toys that aren't squirty!!

i have always been grossed out by that black junk that randomly appears in the tub -- I always figured it was because the boys put something in there --NEVER thought of cutting one open! Wow - they are all getting chunked!

So, are you guys trying to set a world record for how many houses you can move to in the shortest amount of time?
