Interesting Day

I made a new friend, her name is Angie and we've been spending a lot of time together - she's hella cool and she has two kids. She's married, but they are divorced, so basically at this point in time she's like a single mother. Anyway, yesterday we spent the day together, we had to run a bunch of errands and we brought her kids along with us. I never realized how much work it is having two kids. First off, I go to her house and she has two brand new car seats. So, we have to put those together and that's a pain in the ass. Next, we have to get them in the car properly which is another pain in the ass. She has to get a bag together with juice and extra clothes and whatever else you need when you are spending the day with two kids. When they were in the car, they were really good and I was impressed at how good they were. Her husband was in the hospital so we had to bring him some clothes. So, we had to go to walmart to get said clothes. Unfortunately, this is when the kids went ape shit. UGH! They were running around like crazy. They didn't listen to a word we said and they were pulling shit off the shelves. We waited in line for like 20 minutes to buy the stuff and as soon as we got to the cashier, Paige (the 2 year old girl) had to go to the bathroom. I offered to take her to the potty since Angie was paying. Dylan came along with me because he had to go too. Remember - I don't have kids, so taking two toddlers to the bathroom is a very new situation for me. The three of us went into the stall together - it was tiny, we could barely move. They were crawling on the dirty floor and trying to look under the stall at the people next to us. Sheesh! What an adventure.

We also ate at McDonalds over at the Walmart. The kids kept running into the kitchen which is always a good time. Not to mention they wanted to go up and talk to everyone at every table. Luckily most of the people were good sports about it.

After the walmart fiasco, we headed back to the hospital to drop off the clothes. The kids and I sat in the car and to entertain them I pulled out the camera.

Here's some of the cute photos we took...

Dylan and Paige - yes, Paige has her underwear on her head. I have no idea why...



Paige took this picture of Dylan...



Paige...



So, what I have to say is that I have major respect for all of those single mothers out there. Wow. I definitely don't know if I could do it. All in all though, it was a fun day and I'm totally in love with the loving hugs I received from the kids. They are adorable!
