We're All In This Together

Brett Troy is in the bathtub
Making soup for the ambassadors
And I am in the hallway
Singing to the troubadours

peeking

The kings are all lined up
Outside the gate
And the autumn bells are ringing
But they’ll just have to wait

sweet face

Where is the joker?
Have you seen him around
With his three coned cap
That he wears like a clown?

up

Have you seen his striped stockings
And heard his sad tale
About the kids under the carpet
And the purple humpbacked whales

bathing

Here come the ambassadors
They show up one by one
Brett is tasting all the soup
To see if it is done

looking at his reflection

Wendy’s on the windowsill
Waiting to be let in
And we’re all in the bathtub now
Making bathtub gin



The kings storm the hallway
They’ve climbed up through the gate
They didn’t mean to be impolite
But they just couldn’t wait

funny

Here comes the joker
With his silly grin
He carries a martini
Made of bathtub gin

happy

Here comes the joker
We all must laugh
Cause we’re all in this together
And we love to take a bath.
-Bathtub Gin, Phish

My kids would NEVER get out of that pool, errr, I mean, tub. (They will say 'pool'.) God, that kid is adorable.

Chocolate Girl said...

I'm pretty sure it doesn't get much cuter than that.

Heidi said...

I SO want to get in that bathtub! That looks WONDERFUL. Those pics are too precious!

sdwaard said...

Wonderful photos! The first one is my favorite because of the perspective. He's so small and the tub is gigantic.

Heather D said...

LOVE it. Jealous of your tub, too!
We did bathtub pics this week. I'm sure our sons will just love that we posted bathtub pics on the internets...CPS! ;)

I'm about to start crying at how wonderful this post is and how it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. These are all spectacular but that very first one with his sweet little head poking up over the edge of the BIG tub is just THE. BEST.

Love this lady, love it.

Simply Mel said...

The joker grin is spectacular!

Ed said...

Is there anything better than a clean kid?

Jennifer said...

Greatest pictures ever. Totally jealous right now.

Is having a whirl tub bath filled with bubbles your way of trying to convince my son Troy that he should stay with you? It won't work.

Oh my gosh, this such a great collection of pics! That first one looks like it should be in a home decor mag!

Chris at yardsalequeen.com said...

just give me two minutes and I could junk up all that wonderful bathtub storage ledge with half full bottles of shampoos, conditioners, shaving creams, body scrubs and so on.

Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry said...

Oh my gosh, I love this and I wish so bad I could sit in that tub.

For a long time.

Great photos, Z.

Lilith Silvermane said...

Oh.. and I'm showing Dave this picture so he knows what I want my next bath to look like!

Seriously SO creative. I am in love with this sweet post. This is the third one I saw with bathtub faces. Too bad my kid is WAY too old for those anymore... MAN! : )

Bath time just is not this fun in our household. I'm holding out hope that it evolves into something like this!

So cute! I love Phish, and my boyfriend hates it. This photo set makes me love them even more.

P.S. Everytime I read your bottom of the blog quote I laugh. I love me some Billy Madison.
