"It's hard to have 3 kids"

Today, as we were driving to McDonald's, Ben asked if we could eat at the restaurant so he could play. So, I explained to him that normally he could, but we had to get back home to get Lindley down for a nap by 12:30 so she would be awake by 3:00 so we could take Ben to his friend's house to play. Ben's response? "It's hard to have 3 kids." Amen to that!!

The one word I would use to describe having three kids is "circus."

Some other highlights from this past week:

- At this point, the baby pretty much goes wherever I go. One thing about him is that when he decides it is time to eat, there is very little lead time and soon becomes an emergency. So, I went to get my hair cut yesterday and took the baby with me. He decided to wake up about halfway into the hair cut and also decided he was hungry. Despite my attempts with the pacifier, I ended up feeding him in the chair with the cape as my cover.

- Ben accidentally locked himself in the bathroom when I was here by myself with all three kids. It was really hard to coach him on how to unlock the door, and I couldn't get it unlocked from the outside. Luckily, he finally figured it out.

- I also took the kids to get pictures made. I was really just wanting to get newborn pictures, but went ahead and took Ben's 5 yr and Lindley's 2 yr pictures because I decided we weren't going to make it back for those ;) It is pretty much impossible to get a good picture with all three. Here are a few of what we did get.
