I'm ready for number three now.

Yesterday I took the girls (Lauren and Lea) to dance class. Tyler, a trooper as always, accompanied me. Here he is checking the dancers out.

BUSTED!

Today, I decided to continue my third child training and invite Lea to accompany Lauren and Tyler to their Chick-fil-A playdate. (of course, the children get their own table while us adults sit elsewhere in the restaurant)

We had such a successful lunch that I'm convinced I'm ready for that third child. I'll have to get creative though, since Matt has already paid THE visit to Dr. Stop. [wink]

I was so confident that I decided to bring the kids to Jump to It. (an inflatable jumpy place) What fun we had!! Much more fun than taking a NEEDED Nap!

Before long, we were thirsty! And Oh Boy, were we THIRSTY!

I'm guessing this was the first time Tyler drank from a drinking fountain.

He had more on his shirt and in his eyes and ears than he did his mouth. Too funny!

When we got home the kids were pretty much toast. Lauren and Tyler waited until Lea went home to have their Complete Meltdowns. They (especially Lauren) were completely miserable. I don't blame Lauren, I guess. She went to school, then went to lunch with 4 of her best friends and then jumped to her heart's content without much time to relax and regroup. I guess I'll cut the girl some slack.

While I was making dinner THIS was delivered to my garage.... Matt's Birthday Present!!

This is a hard floor cleaner that will sweep, clean, rinse and DRY. I love my hardwood floors but I DESPISE cleaning them. I was so excited that Matt let me get him this for HIS birthday!! I can't wait to try it out. =)

Dinner tonight was surprisingly good. Even Matt said it was "pretty good." I made the Polenta Gratin with Mushrooms and Fontina. He snickered as he took his plate to the table but he eventually came around once he tried a bite. Don't be afraid of the polenta, y'all.
