Downtown

So today we ventured downtown with all the kiddies to go to a little gathering after the marathon. Our friends Bill and Kelly came in from Vegas because Bill was running in the marathon. Now anyone with kids knows it is a little work to get out of the house to go somewhere. And the more kids you have the more work it is going places. 1 kid is a piece of cake, 2 kids is a little harder but you are not out numbered. 3 kids you are out numbered so it is a little bit of a juggling act.
We decided to take the train down because we knew the boys would LOVE it, and they did. So I decided to have Addie in the bjorn and Rob carried the stroller. Wasn't to bad. Once we got off the train we walked a little until we could grab a cab. Also not to bad, minus the 20 lb baby that had been strapped to me for over an hour and it was 85 degrees out. So we got a cab, got to where we were going and I decided to put Addie in the stroller and give her a snack. Go to grab the diaper bag, and ROb had left it in the cab. ( thanks dear) So now we are downtown with no diapers, bottles or snacks. Luckily we were able to give Addie Zachs sippy cup with some juice and some pretzals ( I always have something in my purse for emergencies :) )And we managed to make it through an afternoon with no meltdowns of an kind.
The boys had a BLAST playing with our friend Kelly. If they lived here I would have her babysit because they LOVED her! ( so Bill get a job here) Everyone had a nice time and we got to see freinds we almost never see. Plus since the little ones had no naps they passed right out by 6:30. Now if only Alex would fall asleep......
