First of all, people with kids are saints and I’m quite certain people with more than 2 of ‘em have a special place in heaven. OMGosh am I a trainwreck come bedtime babysitting Paige, Corbin & Ainsley. Everything up till 8:30 goes so smoothly and then WOAH! Look out! When Ainsley’s hungry she is HUNGRY and waiting for a bottle to go from frozen to luke warm when it’s not s’posed to be microwaved is just WAY too long even with hot tap water. Meanwhile Paige accidentally bops Corbin in the noggin with the end of a guitar. Now Cobin’s bauling, brushing his teeth (by himself) and still not in his pajamas. Paige is on her 3rd book trying to find one that she can read to me before bed after starting at least a page into each of the first 2. Corbin chooses ‘Chicka Chicka Boom Boom’ which was oddly disappointing considering how fun the name sounds. At this point Ainsley is so worked up over not eating that she downs the now lukewarm bottle in like 2 seconds flat and taking a break to burp is NOT an option. Whew! But, by 10:00 when Tam & Brian got home, all kids were sound asleep in their beds with milk in their belly’s (a few teddy grahams too – from the delight on their face over that treat I’m guessing I wasn’t supposed to give ‘em those) and at least less sugar bugs in their teeth than they would’ve had if they hadn’t brushed at all, right?

Highlights from the evening and evidence that Corbie’s spending too much time with Grappy:

• On Grammy & Grappy’s brand new 50" plasma tv what does this 3 year-old want to watch?  Hee Haw!
• Corbin to Scott while swinging – "You’re pushin’ me all kitty-wampus Scott"

Good thing he’s so stinkin’ cute cuz it’s gonna be tough makin’ friends in kindergarten talkin’ like that. LOL

Anyway, I made it through the night but you KNOW it was chaos when I had 3 adorable kids around me the entire evening and I didn’t even get ONE photo for the photo of the day. CRAZY!

And I changed the video of the day this morning but I’m already bored with it so I’m switching it to tomorrow’s early. Plus I like this one so much it deserves 1 1/2 days. :)
