Water Softener+Bubble Bath=Disaster

Have you ever seen 64oz of bubble bath poured into your average bath tub? What about 64oz of bubble bath poured into a tub filled with water, filtered through the water softener?

I knew when my Mo-tay came to me and announced "I put bubbles in Gettie's bath", I was in trouble. I never could have guessed how much trouble. I literally had bubbles spilling onto the floor around the tub.

In hindsight I wish I had grabbed my camera and just let them be because it was the ultimate bubble bath {pink water and all}, alas the mess overwhelmed me.

I will admit the bubbles were easier to clean than I had expected. The boys? Not so much as a shower was in order. Not something done willingly by the Mr. Mr. Gettie.

In the end, it was an early bedtime for all.


*For those that are not familiar with water softener systems: It's a process of filtering our water through salt, removing calcium and magnesium {which causes water to be 'hard'}. In short, we use almost 1/4th of what the directions instruct you to use when applying soap, as things lather up quicker, easier, softer.
