When Mom is Away....

Paige went to Phoenix for a girls/mothers day shopping trip. So I was home with the kids. The day started out really frustrating because Drew had a T-ball game scheduled and team pictures. So I had to wake Elle up and we were flying there so we wouldn't miss the pictures when suddenly the road was closed due to a parade. They had a bunch of signs showing us the detour route which we followed but it lead right back into the parade. Basically there was no way to get to the game until the parade was over. I think it had something to do with the the Cinco de Mayo festival going on this weekend. Freakin' Cinco de Mayo. Then we stopped at Target and that was okay until Drew started saying he had to go poo. So we rush to the bathroom, he sits down and ... nothing. He says, "it's not working" and "there's no poop inside of me" so we finish our shopping and head for the car. I get the kids all strapped in and the Camry strikes again. It won't start. So we're sitting in a hot car while I try and get it started and Drew starts farting like crazy. Since, we're not going anywhere I ask if he has to poop. He says yes so we all head back into Target. He sits on the pot again and again he gives the usual, "it's not working" and "there's no poop inside of me". We go back to the car and this time "presto" the car starts and we head back home. Freakin' Camry. When we got home I decided we weren't going to leave again. Elle got into the water table. While Drew chilled waiting for Elle to go to sleep so he could play with his Star Wars weegos. After Elle's nap we had some fun in the sprinklers since it was a "toasty" 70 degrees.

lol Justin welcome to motherhood. So did the game and pics get nixed?Sounds like you were a good trouper and made the best of it. It sure looks like the kids were happy and Dad was a hero again. Paige is a lucky girl!

Justin, that is the funniest picture of Elle I've ever seen! Sooo cute! Drew looks like he's havin' fun in the sprinklers. We miss him so bad. Can he come see Grandma again? I know you'll never let me talk to him on the phone again. You don't trust me. Just wait til he can read! J/K Love, Mom
