One Crazy Night

I was trying to think of an old Biggy song to quote as my title but the lyrics escape me... Now my mind is so preoccupies trying to think of it... ok moving on... WOW last night was something else. The day went fine, it wasn't like this awful day that I shouldn't have left the house, the 1st half was pretty good beside the ill planned JoAnn's trip with 3 hungry kids who *hate* the fabric store... but besides that it was fine.

I had a session last night and luckily it was my dear friend Abby... (if it had been anyone else I would have been in trouble). Levi calls me about 20 min before I'm expecting him home and says "Hey so what time do you need to leave by?" I told him 4:15 and he says "Ok??... my wheel just feel off on the freeway so not sure I'll be home in time"... OH MY GOODNESS! Crazy! Thankful my husband is OK, my mind is racing how to fix this issue. There seems to be no real fix in sight. Our good friend Ryan let us use his AAA but they had to wait at the vehicle so it's me and the boys and I have to leave ASAP. I decide to throw together pb&j's and carrots and load the kids and take them. I even tried to find a sitter on the way there to sit in the car with the kids or something, anything. I gave them lots of prep, "ok you are going to sit in the car and listen to veggie tales while eating pb&j OK?" "Please don't whine, it isn't going to change anything" (mind you we were taking photos right near where I could leave my car. I didn't leave them in a parking lot or anything... I actually could hear them at all time, so don't go judging :) LOL.

Once I get there I realize I only have 1/2 my keys, which means I left the other 1/2 in the house when I ran back in for baby food so therefore I'm Locked Out! Not an issue at the moment of course but it will be one later...

Session was GREAT. My friend Abby was so wonderful about having to bring the kids. We actually wanted to walk further on the property so I unloaded the kids strapped them in the stroller and Wesley even helped me with the reflector disk and making little Tatum smile. I wouldn't normally give myself the option of bringing my kids but it actually worked out great :).

So then I need to call Levi and I tell him I'm locked out. he asks me to burn about an hour+ so he can get his car working. I decided the kids deserve a stop at Diary Queen. Get them a burger and a treat for the crazy, but good night... Mind you Dairy Queen was pretty out of the way but I was trying to waste time. I finally find it, well find where it use to be... seriously out of business?!?!?! I texted Abby and she said it best "3 strikes" LOL,

"Ok so Wesley where do you want to go?"
"Chick Fil A"...
I wouldn't consider us to be close to any chick fil a really but the kid was being a good sport. I took them up the the arden location.

I toke a minimal amount of stuff with me into the restaurant (big mistake), we go potty, wash up and order food. I let them play in the play area for a bit. Cole came up with this silliness all his own. He discovered that he could put his forehead flat and move is face in funny ways to make funny faces. That kid is a crack you... I remember Wesley being funny and laughing him a lot but man there is something different about Cole. He is so naturally funny... even the table of guys behind us said "He is so funny!"... anyway this is Cole being Cole.

Carter pretty much fussed and screamed the whole time we were there... I think he was just tired. I gave him sweet potatoes, and he was still hungry, gave him part of Cole's bun... he was still hungry... While we were eating Cole was messing around (surprise, surprise) and pushed his straw all the way thru the bottom of his cup and make a huge mess. It looked as though he wet himself. He was asking for clean/dry clothes but I didn't have them. We dealt with it and moved on. I got the kids little ice cream sundae's and they played in the play area till those were ready. Wesley comes out and says "Mom Cole smells SO SO VERY bad!"... whatever, I don't have a diaper, he'll deal with it for just a little bit. Oh man I tell you, he was a stinky boy. I could smell him coming out of the play area. So I have 2 options. Loading the kids and ice cream to go change a dirty diaper in the car or still load all the kids to get a diaper and come back in and take 3 kids in the restroom then eat ice cream or let them inhale their ice cream and change the diaper in the car later... I chose the later. It was awful though. I honestly think Cole's diaper made the people behind us leave. It was so bad it really took away from the whole ice cream experience... I usually always have a diaper in my purse, not sure what I was thinking. it was a rookie move for sure! We were walking out and I can see the manager looking at him, with his crouch soaked pants and that awful smell... I knew she was thinking we'd had an accident somewhere & I was jetting out of there before it was round. LOL It just made me laugh, I had to laugh...

Cole couldn't wait through even a picture before he ate his first bite of ice cream, however the 2nd bite went to Wesley. What a sweet heart :)

 

We still had to wait a bit for Levi to come home. I hadn't really gotten to hear about the tire story. So it is pretty amazing really. He was in this weird strip of road on the freeway... it is hard to explain... anyways it came off and he was trying to slow down and get to the side of the road. He said he went about 100 yards or so. Finally stops and looks over to watch his tire (which had caught up to him) just so slightly *lean* against the guardrail, as if put there by somebody... just propped there. LOL. Mind you this all happened so fast that no one but God could have done it. The tire either jumped the guard rail and traveled up the on ramp... or squeezed between his truck and the guard rail the whole trip. As crazy as scenario #1 sounds, that is the most likely after viewing a map.

Just a CRAZY night. Even Wesley said "this night was busy!" yep, you are right son.
