We don't take bubble baths very often, so I couldn't resist snapping some pictures...
The coveted pink hippo. The girls fight over this one toy every night. Notice Mallory eyeing it.

Splish, Splash! They Were Takin' a Bath
A few weeks ago, the girls outgrew the inflatable tub they had been sharing at bath time (we loved that tub). As a result, they recently moved into the "big girl" tub. Quite scary at first -- for Mommy. I bought a no-slip mat, but it doesn't help much; pair that with Mallory wanting to stand up and both girls crawling around the tub like they're on the floor rounding up toys that have floated away, and let's just say the first few nights bath time was not relaxing!

so cute! the boys have a blue whale that sounds a lot like that pink hippo!
so, logistical question for you. i haven't bathed the boys together even though i think they are ready because i can't figure out how to get them both out of the tub safely. i feel like i'd have to turn my back on one and that terrifies me! what's your routine??
We just moved to the big tub, too, and it is a little harder. We used to do just one at a time in the inflatable tub, but they've outgrown that one, and since they're sitting up so well, we thought it would be fun to try.
To answer Holly's question, we get the tub all ready, and then we use man-to-man coverage. There's no way we would do it otherwise. Scott takes one and I take the other. I am curious how you would do it with just one parent (I probably wouldn't now since E&R are so young.)
Holly - we do it the same as Tracy. I get the water ready while Walter get the girls naked. Then we each take one to the tub. I get to play with the girls and bathe them while Walter gets the bottles and jammies ready. When we're done, I holler for Walater, and we each take one out of the tub and to the nursery...If either Walter or I are out during bath time, the girls don't get a bath. It isn't that often, but I just won't risk either of us doing it alone.
