This is what Ainsley told me last night while she ate dinner. It all started with Ainsley needing to re wet her wipe so she could clean her tea cups. Usually she is very good about closing the bathroom door when she is done in there because Zechariah LOVES the bathroom. Tonight must have been a special night because she forgot. I can hear laughing and talking so I'm assuming they're in her room which may or may not be a good thing since Ainsley can sometimes "play" rough...like sitting on Zechariah mid-crawl as if he's a horse! So, I go to her room and she's having a good 'ol time in there talking to her various stuffed animals. I smile because it's so cute when she plays because she has this amazing imagination. Meanwhile, still no Z so I head into his room where he's nowhere to be seen. Well, if you've ever been to our house, you know that the bathroom is the next stop in the hall but the door is closed so I assume he's not in there. I realize my assumption was completely wrong when I hear this excited screeching coming from the bathroom. Yep, Ainsley left the door open for him and he was smart enough to shut it behind him when he went in. This is what I found when I opened the door....
Z and his cascading pile of never-ending fun. All he could do was laugh and keep pulling the roll. When Ainsley came in and started laughing too, that's when the pulling got more intense. I spent a good 10 minutes rolling it back up (hey, toilet paper isn't cheap!) but couldn't salvage all of it....
so I left it in a nice little pile on the window sill for Ainsley to use up. Mind you, this was a brand new roll of toilet paper too. I think that's what makes it so funny...call me crazy!
Right after I finished rolling and piling I hear immense laughter coming from the kitchen. As mentioned before, the laughter is great but someone always seems to end up in tears after a few minutes. I run to the kitchen to find Zechariah pushing the dog dish around the floor, upside down, slipping and sliding all over. Ainsley is just laughing hysterically and both of them are soaked from head-to-toe. I'm not sure if they were rolling in it or trying to swim in the dish or what but they were wet. I had also just filled the dog dish a few minutes before and forgot to put in on the counter. 
To prevent both kids from slipping and getting a serious injury, the only thing I could do was "kennel" them in the playroom. Usually this is reserved for the dogs who retire ("kennel") in the kitchen whenever we leave the house. It does come in handy for play dates (ask Amber) or when you're in a pinch and need the kids to be in a safe place for a minute while you pee. The answer to your question is no, I really can't go to the bathroom without someone getting into something even if all the doors in the house are shut and the dog dish is up. The two of them are very resourceful and they will find a way to get into something. 
After mopping the floor for the second time in 3 days (the doggies were sick one night...thank goodness they were kennelled!) I stripped Z down to his diaper at which point Ainsley took off her clothes too. That is when I realized that it was 6:40 and I hadn't even thought of dinner. I put Z in his highchair and Ainsley on a towel in her chair (didn't want her to stick to it) and we ate. I didn't feel like dressing either of them to "eat" dinner when we'd just be taking a bath soon anyway. This is when Ainsley looked up from her plate of veggies and nuggets, giving me this priceless title. I just had to laugh as I ate my snow covered trees that somewhat resemble broccoli dipped in ranch dressing!
