Visiting a friend

We went up to CT to visit a friend of mine.  It was supposed to be a nice day out for a visit and then off to a really pretty pumpkin patch for some nice fall pictures with the babies... But as you will see,, things never go as planned...

The visit was very nice and the kids had a great time.

(see smiling babies and happy parents)

And then as time went on things went

down

down

down.....

Papo was getting tired and the crank started. With no crib available, it got bad. You see, my baby likes to be put in a crib when it's nap time. When there is no crib, there is no nap and so begins the overtired baby dance (see very unhappy baby below and picture tired parents who have been carrying him and basically, wrestling with him since he likes to roll around all over the place while in your arms when he's tired).

Yeah, I know you mommy's and daddy's out here know exactly what I'm talking about.
By the way, my wonderful baby boy weighs 23lbs, so this was quite the workout!
Note to mommy, buy a portable play yard!!!
After about 2 hours of play and then over tiredness, Madison says, "I want go home". She was right, it was time to go.
And so we said goodbye to our nice friends and away we went.
There was no pumpkin patch or pretty fall pictures(so sad for me).  There was only the nice ride home on the Merritt Parkway and two babies knocked out in the car. Even Madison went down and she hasn't napped in over 2 weeks. Now I know some of you may be thinking, "DUH, just take the car seat into the house and let him nap in there". Doesn't work. He twists and turns and basically, that car seat needs to be firmly attached to it's base in the car where it belongs.
And now, on to our next family trip. Nana's for a nice meal. Mmmmm. I'll think about losing my last 25lbs of baby weight tomorrow. Going to nana's for food is right up there with thanksgiving dinner.
Eat today and worry about it later.
