Today, I road with my sister-in-law to Little Rock. She had a Doctor's appointment, But With Gas as high as it is. Now at $3.45 a Gallon! Uhhhhh. We loaded up and Made a day of it! We don't plan on going to Little Rock very much right now!
I first, kept my Princess Home from school today! She NEVER goes anywhere with us anymore! She wanted to ride along and I wanted to spend a day with her!
Once we got to Little Rock! Where do we go first????? Why thanks for asking! TARGET!!! If you know us. WE LOVE some TARGET!!!. We go in for Leah to look at some Curtains, We leave with, Me a new Shower Curtain that I'm so excited about! and Leah, Got some new Mascara! Here's the funny part! It took us about an Hour and a Half for those two things!
What good is a Trip to Target without Trying on Shoes, and Not getting any!!! Well Leah got a pair. Ha!, Ummm. Looking at kids clothes, picking some up and then just putting them back when we leave, Playing in the Home section. Putting together Lamps, and saying, "ill just get them another time! "
Kids spilling Honeycombs in the Floor and then the Buggy Smashing the ones that I was not able to pick up! :( That just makes my Day! :) ,
Lets see what else, Looking at Picture Frames, Wall Art, Baskets, Swim Suites, Shirts, Shorts, Dresses, annnnnnnd then a long 25 minutes in the Bathroom Changing 3 kids Diapers, Letting Calleigh Pee, and then Getting to the CAR..... Yeah, I think We win! haha.
Lunch was next! Sooooo Where better to got then?????? Your so kind to ask! Chick-fil-A of course!!! We had to let these Kids get a break! We get in order our food, Sit down, For some reason, Joe and Calleigh were so photogenic today! I'm sure you will like their Pictures!
Camp Ate all of his fruit and Not ONE Chicken Nugget!
Leah lost a Part of her Necklace! Our kids screamed and Begged for the Play room! So needless to Say, Leah and I stuffed our Faces and headed to Play!
Camp actually Made it down the Slide this time! He's been a little scared the other times. For some reason, My Son is all about going Head First on EVERY Slide!
We saw a little boy that was wearing the Same 'Super Man' shirt that Camp has and had the Same Hair color & style as Joe's. He was a cutie!
Joe did a Stinky, Leah goes to change him. I'm with the other Three! They are good, Leah comes back, we Grab the little ones and make our way to the Car, But..... Not before re-filling our Sweet Tea! :)
Once in the Car, We Cross the street to Pottery Barn, to look again for????? You are just so sweet to ask!!! :) Leah some Curtains! Ha. and We leave with...... NOTHING! Story of our Lives, Then we got to Bed Bath & Beyond in West Little Rock, I go in to look for a Deal on a Down Comforter for our Duvet Cover on our Bed! Outcome: I took a picture of the Euro Shams I need to get, Just so that, I don't forget which ones they are
& I leave with Nothing! Who would have thought.
I make it out to the Car, Watch the Kids while Leah goes in to look for????? Yes you guessed it. Curtains and She leaves with...... NOTHING. haha.
Then we head to the Dr. Appt. We thought would only take 25 minutes or so, We unload 4 kids, get inside to this Very Small waiting Room in an OLD HOUSE, turned Dr. Clinic, and Leah leaves to go back... So Who better to Watch 4 kids and Have all the new ppl coming in after she leaves the room to think I am a CRAZY 25 year old Mom with 4 kids???? Me of course! Surprisingly, The kids were good, I was chasing them, The Receptionist was making them Paper Airplanes. The Guy that worked there was making fun of her Paper Air Plains and making his own Paper Air Plains!
(She was just taking his pappy out so she could understand him talk! LOL!)
So, inside Trick to keep 4 kids happy in a Clinic, ... Lots of Paper Air Plains, Reading books, Chasing down the hall ways, Letting the 20 month old Chillax on the Couch with a cup of Gold fish to think the rest of his Family is CRAZY
(Notice the belly hanging out and all! HA. hes had a Day!)
Let the 9 Month old grab whatever he can off the shelf to keep him happy
and then adding to it by the laugh of watching the waiting patients think You are insane for not using Birth Control! LOL!!!
However, for those of you reading that do not know me!!! I would not for ONE SECOND trade either of my kids or Nephews!!!!!!! I love them sooo much. Its the humor of the Day that makes me laugh! HA! Trust me. I did let the lady waiting in the front to go back clearly know that Two were mine and Two were my Sister-In-Laws in the Back, I was just watching them for her! haha.
Leah comes out an Hour Later and we leave. What better then to Go to Cupcakes on Kavanaugh? Sooo, We head that way only to find our self on some Crazy One Car Sized street in the middle of Little Rock! After the Smart brains in our ONGOING heads. we make it back to the main road.... Down 4 miles and parked by the Sweet Store!
I Treated since Leah Drove! You have to try this Place if you have not yet! So Good!
Of Course after this LONG Day, We make another Stop to Bed Bath & Beyond in North Little Rock. Why You ask again? Why Thank you! Because, We got to look yet again for Leah some Curtains...... We start out going in, Back to the Bathroom, Change 3 Kids again, poor Sam, Shirt and Pants both Soaked, Camp and Joe, were good, Just wet! Calleigh Peed again, Wash our hands, and out to the store!
Grab a Buggy, and head back! Let's Evaluate this Trip in the Store.....
Calleigh yells and Begs to get out of the buggy the whole time.
Calleigh gets out of the Buggy,
Calleigh Grabs 3 things off of a shelf, I thought I got them put up, only to find one in the buggy later,
Joe, Gets down,
Camp then Screams to get down,
Calleigh and Joe run and chase each other in the curtains,
I some how picked out 2 towels, 2 hand towels, and a pack of wash cloths,
Leah grabbed a picture in there somewhere,
Joe ends up back in the buggy,
So do Calleigh and Camp,
They all end up with some stuffed animal, a bright pink pillow, and two green flash lights that Calleigh and Joe fought over the whole time,
The spatula comes out of the bag and makes an appearance (FYI, the Whipping Tool)
Calleigh begs again to get out of the buggy,
Camp begs for a Drink, yet cup is empty,
I run to front to set Leah's picture up at the front desk, then to the water fountain, Get camp some water,
Run back to our 4 crying kids, Camp gets a Drink and is fine,
We go to look at curtains again, WHY??? b/c we are girls and are indecisive and we have 4 kids so we can't think.... :)
Joe drops his stuffed animal out of the buggy, reaches to get it, and Joe falls in Slow Motion out of the Buggy head First,
Leah Dives to catch him. Poor guys cries for a While, He had reason!,
We then 'GET SMART' and go to checkout...,
I put up my towels and then find My purse is in the Car,
I leave kids with Leah, Run outside, get purse, come back in, Pay,
Camp is crying for me,
Calleigh has to Pee again, So I take her,
We leave the bathroom to Leah pulling two buggies, and holding a Picture, going OUT the 'IN DOOR',
I'm going OUT the 'OUT DOOR' haha.
The lady holds the door open for Leah,
& We make it out to the CAR!!!! YES.. RELIEF!!!
Not just yet,
We put kids in Car, go to put Picture in Car and.... IT WONT FIT! REALLY??????
So Leah and I put our Seats far to the DASH, put the picture behind us... Get in and No Keys!
Why???? Oh b/c I sat them in the trunk.... Leah gets them...

(There are No pictures here b/c we were so tired and out of it that we could not function the use of a phone)
Going down the interstate, Camp's foot touched the picture, Leah Worries over it getting scratched, (I don't blame her) it was not cheap! Soooo,
I have her Bag in my Lap, Knees almost to the Dash board, Hand Behind me holding the picture, Cup Cake Box in my other hand and my Purse down by my feet! all we could do was LAUGH!!!!!!!'''
NOW since you feel the Exhaustion of our day! She and I just CRACKED UP!
After all, We are Sister-In-Laws, Best Friends, and Moms! Were Women who Multi-Task and would not do it any other way! We love our kids, Every CRAZY moment spent with them, Cry, Laugh, Chase, Yell, Fight, Good Behavior ( our favorite ) and We are Blessed to be able to do every Bit of it!!!
After a Target, Pottery Barn and 2 Bed Bath & Beyond Stops. Leah was united with the Curtains she longed for! haha. Shes so Proud, and a Super cute picture to go with it, She got some super cute shoes, New mascara, I left Little rock with a Box of Cup Cakes, a New Shower Curtain and Some so adorable Blue Towels that I have wanted for some time. & I even got our Dresser ordered today for our Bed we got a month or so ago! All in all its been a Good day!
Thank you Lord for all that we have and are able to do, Thank you for the Silly Children that all 4 have such different minds and actions... We love them so much! And thank you Lord for This Beautiful day.... We Love you and are so grateful for all that you do for us! And Lord... Thank you for giving us the Patients and ability to do these types of things! You are so Smart for making us this way! It's difficult at times. But you don't give us anything we can't handle! :)
