Both toilets clogged? Could it be main drain?

[charles Phillip Anderson jr]

I hope someone can help me , I’m sorry if this is way too wordy . Yesterday the front toilet started being sluggish, not flushing all the way. The sink in that bathroom had been clogged with something my creative 4 yr old put in it. We cleared what ever we cold get which was mostly toilet paper and a marble. There is still a marble in the hole resting on the stick thing that’s attached to the stopper. Anyway, cleaned toilet yesterday, that’s when I noticed it wasn’t flushing all down. Cleaned the sink too, miraculously the sink started draining clearly! But then later the toilet not only didn’t drain fully, it almost overflowed, I plunged it but it still didn’t work. Then later discover back bathroom toilet is also not flushing and is overflowing. 9:00pm even after sitting for a while not using toilets, still not working messy overflows when trying to flush, broke plunger 9:15pm at Wal-Mart browsing plungers and drain liquids. 9:45pm new specially for toilets plunger still didn’t work. Used specially for toilet drain liquid that smelled terrible. 10:00pm took kids to McDonalds for bathroom while smelly stuff sits. 10:30pm waited longer than directions say just to see if it worked better. Holding nose, flushed
overflow in both bathrooms now smelly water. Plunged it all out and flushed again, filled all the way up. Breakfast trip to McD’s for bathroom. Still don’t think an auger would work, it doesn’t seem that the block is in the toilet, and unlikely both at same time. Now I’m not sure what best next step would be that doesn’t cost me an arm and a leg trying a bunch of different things until I find something that works. Please forgive the length.

The pipe is stopped up that drains both Toilets, it has to be cabled, either by a sewer cleaner are you rent one.

Thanks for your reply. Amazingly enough when I got home from work everything was working fine! Guess it just needed to sit a little longer. Thanks Again!
