The Box Of Poo

After reading Kim's post about The Poop Bucket (used for storing the dog poop scooped from the yard saving the time it takes to unlock the garbage each time and shove it in there) in her yard, I decided to post a little something about The Box of Poo.

In our 2 story home which has snow covering the outside for at least 3 months of the year, I don't always want to take EVERY diaper to the trashcan on the side of the house as soon as it's changed.

I've had diaper pails in the past, but find I never want to take it out so it gets super gross waiting to be emptied and then it's smelly inside because it was full for too long.

My solution was The Bum Box.

The Bum Box is any cardboard box placed on the back porch that I can toss diapers into. Then the entire thing can go into the garbage with no smelly receptacle left behind and no bag to replace.

Ric HATES The Bum Box.

Ric says, "Do you know how much I hate having a box of POO at my house? Why do we have to have a box of POO?"

With the addition of the second 2 year old to our house last winter (foster care), I also made a Bum Box for upstairs so that I didn't have to walk down a flight of stairs eleventy times a day to take a diaper to the back porch Bum Box. The upstairs Bum Box lived in the utility closet and a child was assigned to take it out to the big garbage daily.

Ric says, "You know how much I hate The Box of Poo. How much do I hate having one OUTSIDE my bedroom??"

I know Ric would prefer that I walk each individual diaper directly to the landfill, but, that taint gonna happen.

This summer, we have no un-pottytrained children in the house. Ric trained the last one during my winter trip to California. No More Box of Poo! We're so excited. We are livin' the dream!
