We were already operating on the "Late and Getting Later" plan this morning when The Rooster announced that she needed to poop on the potty.
Two mornings ago she pulled this off for the first time and then managed to do it again later at daycare.
This morning K was in the bathroom shaving and The Mayor was sitting on the lid of the toilet talking to him.
In response to her request, I whisked The Rooster into the bathroom.
[Yet another hallmark moment of familial bathroom togetherness! The Joys!!]
Because we were in a hurry, I tugged The Rooster's pull up down and sat her on the little potty.
Then I saw the folly of my hubris.
TOO LATE, SUCKAH!
The Rooster had already... uh... moved the goods.
Poo spilled out of the pull up and coated her backside and the potty seat.
K ran for cleaning supplies.
The Mayor, still perched on the lid of the big toilet, chuckled happily.
Then, in an alarmingly satisfied tone of voice, he said,
"Heh. Heh. Nice one, Rooster!"
Clearly they are united in sibling solidarity to pursue strategies to stick it to us whenever possible.
I sense collaborative teen doom in our future.

I don't miss that stage
Hahahaha! What a little bugger!
(Both of them actually)
Thanks for the laugh this morning.... and yes, at you.. not with you.
*wink*
Oh yeah, I can see it in there eyes. You're doomed.
But they are adorable beyond belief, don't ya think!
LOL! I'm taking notes for when it's my turn to go through this. :-)
I am soooooooooooo glad I am past that......Thanks for reminding me how lucky I am!!!
BTW-your kids are beautiful!
*snort*
I feel your pain. Except I don't have a sibling cheering section in my bathroom.
UGH, not a good way to begin the day!
Oh no. Yuck. But I couldn't help laughing at The Mayor's reaction. Hilarious.
All the best stories come out of the bathroom, don't they?
My son asked if he could touch the plunger, because it looks squishy. Um...no...please don't.
Now I know my write-in candidates for the presidential election.
Hilarious! (only because it didn't happen in my house).
With faces and smiles as cute as theirs though, I'm guessing they get instant forgiveness when this stuff happens.
My kids will beat on each other, all day long, but as soon as I break it up or one sib gets busted, the other one turns on me.
The solidarity can be strong. Watch your back...
What's gonna work? *TEAMWORK!*
They probably planned that over breakfast this morning. Wiley little devils, they are. But so cute.
Oh dear, you are in for a world of hurt when those two get older!
I am sooo happy my youngest is finally potty trained. 6 years of those episodes were quite enough thank you very much.
I'm arming myself for when my 3 are teens and work together to conspire against Jeff and me.
look at those adorable, mischievous faces! yes, you are definitely in for it.
Good luck with them, sistah!

Ah, nothing quite like an all family bathroom moment with poo. And when it's coordinated... well - glad it wasn't me. This time.
Good looking union you got there, though.
LOL...I love Mayor's appreciation!
Cutest damn union I've ever seen.
Priceless!!
Ha on you! I am amazed at how often all four of us are in our bathroom (the only full one we have) kids talking, someone at the sink and someone in the shower....I have promised myself that when we move I get my own bathroom - for real!
I might kind of miss it though.
Look at those beauties! What a great pic! Yes, you're doomed for the duration I'm afraid. Got union negotiation skillz?
What a great way to start the morning off! Well hey, look at it this way - at least they are rooting for each other ;)
Oh, I've so been there. In fact, I'm there now. Should Daniel really be sitting on the couch next to me clad only in his new Spiderman undies? Perhaps not; on the other hand, we do like living on the edge around here....
those two...? clearly trouble. but damn cute.
a union with these two as poster children could take over where Hoffa left off. ;)
Sweet Lord! You are SO in for it, my friend!
Oh the Late and Getting Later plan. It doesn't work well for me, yet I employ it each and every day. Hmm.
I am trying hard not to laugh at your morning...oh, what the hell. I'm laughing. The Mayor!
Oh, they so got you.
That photo? I'm dying.
Good luck, you're going to need it, what with the Short and Loud People's Union Organizing for Chaos.
I had a similar situation recently with my 2-year-old. It involved poopy panties, carpet and a hubby who stinks at cleaning carpet. I had a fun surprise awaiting me when I got home a few hours later.
Look on the bright side...at least they don't hate each other. He was giving her a compliment. How nice is that?
Those little people are out to get us!!!!
your stories always make me smile! :)
Thanks for the laugh, I really needed it today. (Like "S" wrote, I need to take notes as well.)
Just as long as he doesn't buy her beer when she's 13 -- you hear that Mayor?
They are positively smoochable!
if you can't laugh at poo, what can you laugh at? poke your eyes out cute, the joys are.
'Nice one'...where did he learn that from??? And the "heh heh". Is someone watching Beavis and Butthead?
"Familial bathroom togetherness" reminds me of the clown car at the circus.
LMAO!!!! That's awesome. You have some funny kids.
Great picture of the sibs!
You are so in trouble, sister.
What a crappy morning!
My children are members of that union too. They are in the subgroup of Opposite Opposition. Whatever one wants, the other wants the EXACT opposite. "I want a shower tonight." No, I want a bath!" I'm hot. I'm cold. and on and on.
hehehehe... oh been there... probably will be again too!
Your kids are ADORABLE! We have that same morning thing. I was so on time this morning and Shark Boy was cooperating perfectly. Then The Bear (8 months, crawling), NOT being watched closely enough by Mr. P, emptied the dog's water bowl, soaking himself and the floor. When I picked him up out of the mess, turns out he had also pooped. Late to work again...
They even look mischievous in that photo!
my three and a half year old came home from preschool with her shorts in a bag. she told me the mulch was thirsty so she gave it a drink when they were on the playground.
damn cute kids you got.
Teamwork works every time.
Cheers
Just what you want to be greeted with when you're already late. And yes, judging by the looks in both of their eyes, I sense trouble for you and K. Teenagehood will be fun! ;)
Jane, Pinks & Blues
you are most definitely doomed, woman.
I love how your little girl needed a fire fighter's raincoat just like her big brother. That is exactly what my little girl is like.
It's a good thing no one tried to fling that pull-up on the ceiling fan.
The Short and Loud People's union - gah, so darn funny there, friend.
Sweet.
HAHAHA! Do you read Gerah?(Poopandsuits.typepad.com)
Her little ones are members of W.A.M.P. Worldwide Alliance of Militant Preschoolers
I love that...
My kids are in the Distraction Division, where one kid comes to you with a picture that is beautiful and tells you they love you ... and the other one sneaks in to the kitchen to grab an entire bag of cookies for them to share while you are high on how wonderful your kids are.
Heh it's so nice that he is so supportive of her bowels :)
OK, every other post I read makes me desire to get my tubes tied. This was one of them!
Just kidding. I think your kids are the bee's knees and now I want a dozen, poop and all.
So cute, and so funny. The other night our two were jumping on the couch together, laughing. When I scolded them, they laughed harder. I told the hubs that they were ganging up on me and I was seeing the future also. Good luck with that.
Good luck on all that potty stuff. Your kids are too cute. They'd win an election on looks alone!
That wicked toddler-and-up humor is a scary precursor for the teen years. Where do they learn this stuff?
Oh yeah, from us...
lol what a mess to clean up!

I would appreciate the linkage, Thanks!
Aw, sisterly/brotherly love through bodily functions.
They are soooo out to get you!!!!!!
Okay, I'm sorry, that is a horrible story. But I'm laughing out loud. And they look freaking hilarious (in a good way). You're in so much trouble.
The Mayor's comment just kills me.
And I think what I like best about this post is that I can envision it taking place in my own bathroom with my cast of characters.
It's moments like those that make me just love being a parent :)
you can always come and cower chez crazymumma.
LOLOLOL! So funny! Thanks for the chuckle, the visuals were great!
I love your photo caption. Today Gracie peed in the potty. We are doing the M&M training. One for pee, two for poo. A few minutes later she claimed to have gone again but was body blocking me from going to look. She's all "Just hand over the M&M mom!"
Oh yes, fun times ahead for you and K!
Oh yes, they're a team for sure. That was the time when hubby and I formed the "Parents Force" in order to stick together against the powerful "Kids Club" - LOL
hi it's mauniejames3...they are movie star beautiful,,,your going to have to watch them every second if they are so attuned to each other...I had one who painted the walls with poop and the second tried to eat it...believe it or not your a lucky lady
Ah, another great poop story. What fun! I had quite the doozy of a poop story a couple months ago. You might even feel better about yours after reading about it on my blog. In fact, don't bother. It's too gross.
I know a little somethin', somethin' about siblings working together for the better good of destroying the house. Mine have taken to drag racing their potty chairs. That can't be good, right?
Oh yeah, we're all effing screwed. When you have kids, you should get a gift certificate for a padded room addition to the house.
Oh, I'm laughing! We have had that happen a lot in our household.
Yep... gotta love that they stick together.
Kids that can band together like that? You are so doomed when they get older, and more wily. Look out!
This totally reminds me of watching my friend rip off her daughter's diaper, on the unprotected sofa, only to find there had been a poo explosion. Everywhere. Good times!
Oh, they are SOOOOO cute! Funny story too. We had a similar experience a few weeks back, except ours involved underpants instead of a pull-up. Just when you think they're finally potty-trained . . .
I've been lurking awhile now, LOVE your blog!
Uh oh. You're in trouble.
Wonderful picture.
And of course they're united against you - that's what siblings are for!
the poop not fun but I love the kiddos sticking together..my two little girls get into these laughter modes together and I know the joke is on me...
This is what I fear most by having twins. One day they will rise up and outnumber us. At least it will feel that way.
OMG, been there, done that. But had NO HELP cleaning it up. Just swore a lot under my breath. The things no one bothers to tell you!!!
Hee hee.
They are so cute.
Miss M aged 2 shouts at me if I get mad at Miss E aged 7.
I love it that she does this.
Kids need someone they can bitch about their parents to.
Your bog is truly fab.
LOL
But oh! the pictures! what adorable cuties!!!
