Bathing in the Soap Room

Our new house is not yet finished, so we’ve been commuting back and forth from Charlestown to Scottsburg every day.  It’s about a 25 minute drive and while we’ll be happy when we no longer need to do it, the commute isn’t too terrible.

But during kidding season, being 25 minutes away was outside of our comfort zone, so we spent about 2 weeks sleeping at the new property.  Most of us slept in the  soap room, except three of the boys who slept in the barn.  We would make occasional trips back to Charlestown to do laundry, feed the cats, and take quick showers.

One night while we were sleeping at the soap room,  Jade got sick and vomited.  The next day she was in desperate need of a bath.  One of the goats was going to deliver that day, so we didn’t feel comfortable going back to Charlestown to bathe her.

Instead, Jim decided to make use of his soap room sink.  Our contractor, Lucky, found us this huge, used stainless steel sink for the soaproom.  Jim scrubbed it out and it made the perfect bath tub for Jade.

Of course, she was having so much fun that Indigo decided to join her:

And then I made Hewitt get in as well (on the other side) because he smelled like a goat:

The special faucet was perfect for rinsing them off:

  1. Sink baths are the BEST!! I can remember visiting my Granny in WV when I was a little girl and having to bathe in the sink (she didn’t have an indoor bath or toilet). Fun times!!

    • That’s awesome, I love it! Jade is still talking about it, so I think she agrees with you. 🙂 PJ

    • Yep – although that sink is really deep, so I have Colter (who is taller) clean it out. 🙂 PJ

  2. Ahh this looks like an amazing memory for your children. I would have had a ton of fun with that, as a child
